Slow down: Take time to think before you speak, embrace the quiet, use time driving in traffic or waiting in lines to sit with your thoughts or listen to a book.Instead of spending your free moments by the drama of social media, email and text messages what if you chose to disconnect and do the things that you enjoy such as cooking, spending time outdoors, and spending time with your family. Experience real life (not social media life): JOMO allows you to have more free time by eliminating wasted time spent scrolling social media feeds.Self-care and self-love start by saying, “no.” Even if you want to help someone but feel it will have a negative impact on yourself, say “no,” in order to protect yourself. Sometimes saying, “no” is the best kind of self-love. Practice saying “No”: You do not always have to go to that event or take that phone call.Set daily limits to how long you can spend on social media or delete certain social media apps from your phone so you can only status scroll when you are at home on your computer. Embrace tech-free time: Unsubscribe from social media accounts and un-follow individuals who trigger your FOMO or cause you any type of negativity.If you feel that you are in constant competition with someone on social media, then re-assess why you are feeling this way.

If you just received good news, then take a moment to embrace it and celebrate.

Give yourself permission to live in the present: If you are having a bad day, be easy on yourself and treat yourself to a relaxing evening.

Make your time your priority instead of wasting time worrying about what other individuals are doing or thinking.

Be intentional with your time: Schedule things that are important to you whether it is working out, meeting a friend for coffee, writing that book or completing a work project.
