Hello and welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm your host Sammy and today we are talking about

FOMO. Hey everyone, welcome to episode 141 this week. How is your week going? How are all of you doing?

I want to know your thoughts on the social media

podcasts that I've been doing and also the previous podcast I've been doing. I want to know,

are they helping? What questions do you guys still have? Okay. You can leave me questions in the

review section of the podcast or connect with me on Instagram at the Life Coach

14 girls. I love hearing from you guys. And thank you for leaving all of the great reviews.

I do have to send a shout out to BJ who left a review for the podcast. Thanks, BJ. And thank you

for giving me some ideas about some future podcasts that I can do.

I really try to do podcasts that you guys request because if you guys are requesting it,

I know that you are struggling with it. And if you are struggling with it, chances are there's

many more teens that are struggling with it. Okay, so keep the reviews and questions coming.

Today, we're going to talk about FOMO. And FOMO is the fear of missing out in case you don't know that.

And what FOMO is, it's actually a group of thoughts that in your brain you think that if you were doing

something else in the moment then you would be happier than you are right now or if it's in

the future you are going to miss out on future happiness and this is what fomo looks like

in our brains okay so it sounds like I wish I was there. I should have been there. They did that without me. I wasn't invited. I'm not good enough. I'm going to miss out. If I do that, I will be happy to. They are doing it without me. I won't be there. Okay. All of these thoughts

cause FOMO, but there's a lot more, and I just kind of give you guys like a general

little group of thoughts that create FOMO. So you might have different FOMO thoughts. So a good thing to

do is just kind of recognize what your thoughts are that cause FOMO.

There's one thing that all of these thoughts have in common, and that is that they produce anxiety.

Okay. The fear created with missing out on something really just leads to anxiety.
