Dr. Elizabeth Scott knows a thing or two about FOMO, because she’s worked with folks who “suffer” from it every day. No clue what FOMO means? Consider yourself lucky. Fear of Missing Out may not be found in traditional tomes discussing psychological disorders, but it has become one hot topic, influenced by social media, notes Scott.
“The fear of missing out, or FOMO, refers to the feeling or perception that others are having more fun, living better lives, or experiencing better things than you are. It involves a deep sense of envy—and it can take a serious toll on your self-esteem,” she writes in a recent post published on the Very Well Mind website.
What can you do to avoid falling into the FOMO trap?
Scott suggests keeping a journal to remind yourself how fortunate you are, putting more time into social connections, focusing on gratitude, and trying a digital detox, perhaps the most important FOMO fighter of all. A digital detox diverts your mind from what you’re missing out on and gives you the gift of diversion. The best digital detox mecca? Belize.
Set your sights on seeing as many unmissable hot spots as time allows, but before you grab your binoculars, sunscreen, and items that personalize your Caribbean vacation, reserve digs at Laru Beya Resort, home to the digital detox. You’ll have so much fun at this resort, the last thing you’ll want to do is check your social media feeds!
