Summary

Joy Of Missing Out (JOMO) is about actively turning from the external stimuli that neither serves nor ignites. And whereas Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) is rooted in external validation, obtaining JOMO is a giant leap toward serving your internal self. During the holidays and always, it pays to get intentional about All. The. Things: Our priorities, our precious free moments and, of course, our long-term goals. On today's show we first discuss our collective affinity as human beings for simplistic comparisons; we also break down 4 action steps toward a more intentional (and self-soothing!) way of being. Here's a preview: [2:30] The historical origins of social comparison [10:30] Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself: Here's how [12:00] The Number One question people pleasers should ask themselves before committing [21:00] 7 effects of cortisol on the body, plus practical thoughts on *actually* slowing down Resources mentioned: Episode #178: Digital Minimalism Sustainable Minimalists free Facebook group -- Thank you to our sponsors!
