The Good Life . . . without missing out!

 

The fear of missing out controls a lot of the decisions people make today. You may not want to miss out on a TV show, a get together or a latest trend. The fear is everywhere. Because it’s everywhere and such a common issue, it keeps people constantly checking their phones, emails, social media platforms and more.

When life continues to be about more, more, more you will eventually always be missing out on something due to everything going on, instead of focusing on the really meaningful things in your life.

With all this going on we feel urgency because there’s just so much stuff to do. So how does all of this affect us? The enjoyment of the experience lessens. As humans we naturally want to have as many great experiences as we can, but the only way that can happen is if you stop cramming everything into your schedule and relax. (Easier said than done, but stick with me.)

It’s impossible to not miss out on something. It’s going to happen no matter what, but the more you filter out things in your life the more intentional you become about how you spend your time and who the people are that you are going to invest that special time with.

While it may sound like you’re doing less, you will actually learn that by choosing things that mean more to you the more energy and attention you will give to those experiences all while truly enjoying them. Sometimes you’ll actually be happy that you missed out something because the alternative is so much better.

There’s no need to overwhelm your life just because that’s seen has “having more.” Yes you do have more, more stress.

Let’s all start thinking of using technology not as a curse, but as a tool. Make time for others, but most of all, make time for yourself. Enjoy life in the moment and embrace your time with loved ones. And most of all start living The Good Life, without the FOMO (fear of missing out).
