FORGET #FOMO CHOOSE #JOMO
Fear of missing out (FOMO) is a normal part of being a social animal. But in a
world where you’re always connected, missing out can be a joyous experience,
too. And it may even benefit your health and well-being to occasionally
disconnect from social media and other digital distractions.
Did you hear that ding? Did you feel that buzz? Something is happening
somewhere, and you’ve been notified! You excitedly grab your phone and dive in,
the latest news right at your fingertips. But beware! Giving in to FOMO may come
at a cost.1
SOME NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF #FOMO
* Envy: Social media tends to show life’s best and brightest moments, like
birthday parties, weddings, and vacations. The drudgery of your daily routine
can seem pretty bleak in comparison. But you’re only viewing the icing of
other people’s lives, and not the layers of dry cake that lay beneath. Seeing
all the celebrations might induce jealousy and decrease your sense of
self-worth.2
* Vanity: When faced with others’ incredible life events, your natural
inclination could be to one-up the competition by cherry-picking through your
life and only sharing your best attributes and finest moments. You start to
believe your own manufactured hype, and, “Hello Narcissus!”3 But
over-analyzing every selfie can bring you down, too. When you sort through
all those pics, searching for profile perfection, it’s the equivalent of
staring in the mirror 24/7: you are bound to notice every blemish and scar.4
* Loneliness: If you’re feeling isolated, the internet may seem like the
perfect way to reach out and connect with your fellow human beings, and it
might be if you can find a close group of friends online. But if you’re a
cyber wallflower, it might only make matters worse. Research shows that
spectators -- those who only read posts but never engage in the conversation
-- usually end up feeling left out and even more depressed.5
* Stress: A long time ago, in a corporate world far, far away… people left the
inbox behind after work. Not so in this wonderful (and frustrating) era of
technology. Now, the urgent emails keep coming, whether you’re working or
not. They leave you no time to recharge when you’re off the clock, which can
lead to health issues, like distress and sleep problems.6
* Anxiety: You want to be a responsible citizen and stay current on important
headlines. That’s noble, but do you really need up-to-the-minute news on
every celebrity tweet or political scandal? The fact is, news bulletins can
cause anxiety.7 And our brains are wired to focus on the bad stuff, so don’t
think that kitty video compensates for minute-by-minute updates on the latest
disaster.8
* Wasted Time: Checking all those apps and pulling out your phone with each
notification adds up to a lot of interruptions and wasted time. Even worse,
if you’re afraid of missing out on every update, you feel compelled to check
all the social apps and sites to stay current, and the more you check, the
more apps and sites you realize there are, and on and on.9 This cycle of
craving and action can even begin to resemble an addiction.1
But there’s hope! FOMO has a companion, and its name is JOMO! Yes, there is a
joy of missing out, too. All you have to do is resist the fear, relax and enjoy
not knowing what’s going on every second of every day.
SOME POSITIVE EFFECTS OF #JOMO
* Living in the Moment: The constant stream of messages, emails and pictures of
other people’s gourmet meals is taxing on your mind. Even the mere presence
of your phone sucks away brain power.10 Cut the cord (or turn off the wifi)
and focus on where you are and what you’re doing. Live in the moment -- your
moment.
* A Better You: Skipping out on social media means you can stop comparing
yourself to others, a behavior that can be destructive in many ways.11
Instead, you can begin an individual journey of self-improvement. Be your own
measuring stick as you try to be a better person today than you were the day
before. You don’t have to constantly worry about how you compare to everyone
else.
* Deeper Connections: Not in the form of snippy posts or grandiose ideas
condensed to a few hundred characters, but authentic conversations. The kind
where you look another person in the eye, listen wholeheartedly and
communicate ideas, together -- like they did in the “old days.” Don’t
underestimate the connections created from in-person interaction. They may do
a lot more to curb loneliness than just giving someone a virtual thumbs-up.12
* Boredom: Yep, this goes in the “benefit” column. Research shows that boredom
leads you to seek out new, stimulating experiences to fill the activity-free
void.13 That can’t happen with a screen constantly stimulating and
distracting you. Set it aside, let yourself experience boredom, and see how
you surprise yourself.
READY TO EXPERIENCE JOMO FOR YOURSELF?
* Set a daily time to turn off all your notifications, even if it’s only for 30
minutes. Try using the “do not disturb” feature on your phone. Let yourself
be interruption-free.
* Consider setting some boundaries about after-hours work email and other
communications. Reclaim your relaxation time.
* Set a time to check the news and only do it then. The headlines will still be
there tomorrow.
* Enjoy a social media-free weekend. Be with the real people in the world.
