How to turn FOMO (fear of missing out) into Fuel
Fear of Missing Out, or FOMO, is a common feeling that arises when we see others enjoying experiences, achieving goals, or participating in activities that we aren't a part of. As a busy mum and entrepreneur, it's easy to get caught up in this feeling, especially when juggling multiple responsibilities.
However, FOMO can be transformed into a powerful motivator rather than a source of anxiety. Here’s how:
Identify What Triggers Your FOMO
Reflect on the situations or social media posts that trigger your FOMO. Is it seeing other mums achieving career milestones? Or perhaps it’s watching influencers travel and experience new things? Understanding your triggers is the first step in turning FOMO into motivation.
Set Personal Goals
Use the feelings of FOMO to identify what you truly want. If seeing other successful entrepreneurs makes you feel like you’re missing out, set specific, achievable goals for your business. Break these goals down into smaller tasks and work towards them daily.
Create a Vision Board
Visualise your dreams and aspirations by creating a vision board. Include images and quotes that represent what you want to achieve. This can serve as a daily reminder to focus on your goals and turn FOMO into a driving force for progress.
Embrace Learning Opportunities
Instead of feeling left out, view the successes of others as learning opportunities. Listen to their podcasts, read their blogs, and follow their social media channels to gain insights and inspiration. This can provide you with new ideas and strategies to implement in your own life and business.
Connect with Like-Minded Individuals
Surround yourself with a supportive community of mums and entrepreneurs who understand your journey. Engage in online forums, attend networking events, and join social media groups. Sharing experiences and advice with others can help you feel less isolated and more motivated.
Celebrate Small Wins
Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. Each step forward is progress, and recognizing this can boost your confidence and diminish feelings of FOMO.
Balance Your Life
self-care and ensure you’re balancing your personal and professional life. Taking care of yourself physically and mentally will make you more resilient and better equipped to handle feelings of FOMO.
Stay Authentic
Remember that everyone’s journey is unique. Stay true to yourself and your values, and define success on your own terms. Focusing on your authentic path can help you stay grounded and motivated.
