JO (ho ho ho 🎅) MO

This holiday season… 🎄

🤔 Imagine a world without FOMO. A world where you can spend your free time how you want, without the perpetual feeling that you’re somehow missing out on some amazing something-or-other.

🤩 This world CAN exist! It’s all about changing your mindset and swapping out FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) for JOMO (Joy of Missing Out).

😍 JOMO provides opportunities for self-care, down-time or simply doing things YOUR way, without the nagging feelings of guilt, shame or being “less than”.

[Remember: Social media is often a trigger for FOMO, because social media is designed to broadcast highlights. The constant state of fun and excitement you think you’re missing out on doesn’t actually exist; it’s just that no one is broadcasting the “boring” bits. 🫠]

Go on… treat yourself to the gift 🎁 of JOMO. Your mental and emotional wellbeing is worth it!

Self-neglect is sneaky. It's in the small, mundane things we do every day.

🥘 The meal you make for your family when you're exhausted and want to rest.

🗓️ Agreeing to plans when they're entirely uninteresting to you.

📱 Answering a call when you're busy instead of texting, "Hey, I'll call you back."

🦻Listening when you need a break.

🤐 Not voicing your opinion in fear of hurting someone's feelings.

When we say "yes" to others and "no" to ourselves, it disconnects us from our very selves. This disconnect breeds a multitude of mental and physical health problems.

We forget who we are. And drift further and further away from our truths.

Remember that relationships require a healthy balance of give and take. Pay close attention to your feelings before taking action.

Begin asking yourself, "What would make me happy in this moment?" and look for ways to include your needs in the decision-making process.

🥡 Maybe it's ordering takeout instead of cooking food for the night.

🧺 Maybe it's asking your partner to fold the laundry if
❌ Maybe it's telling your boss "no" to the extra weekend work.

These things can feel scary, especially if self-honour had consequences or was never nurtured within you growing up, which is why it's so important to challenge your conditioned responses.

Just asking yourself, "What do I need right now?" begins to break the habit of self-neglect.

Have you ever had an unwanted thought or image get stuck in your head?

Usually you can ignore it and move on. But sometimes, it just keeps popping right back up.

You don’t want to have these sticky, uncomfortable thoughts. So why do they happen to you? They're called “intrusive thoughts” and nearly everyone has them, from time to time. They can range from random images to disturbing and violent ideas.

They're usually harmless. But if you obsess about them so much that it interrupts your day-to-day life, this can be a sign of an underlying mental health problem. Intrusive thoughts can be a symptom of anxiety, depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

At the end of the day, most intrusive thoughts are just thoughts. They're not a red flag, or a signal that you actually want to do the disturbing things you're thinking about. If they bother you, you can take steps to cut down on their frequency and intensity.

You can:
* Recognise and label them for what they are — intrusive thoughts that you can’t control.
* Just let them linger, instead of trying to push them away.
* Accept that they will pass eventually.
* Give yourself time for them to fade away.
* Prepare yourself for unwanted thoughts to come back.
* Continue to do whatever you were doing when the intrusive thoughts flooded your head.

Don’t:
* Act or engage with these random, repetitive thoughts.
* Try to question why you’re having them in the first place.
* Look for meaning behind them.
* Suppress them. If you do this, you may fixate more on them.

This can be hard to do. But over time, being less sensitive to intrusive thoughts can reduce the emotional effect they may have on you. It also helps you feel more in control of them.

😃 Is it ever beneficial to pretend to be happy when you’re not? 😢

(The answer is more complex than you might think.) 🤔

😃 Sometimes it’s necessary to put on a brave face. And there’s science to back up the notion that this can — temporarily — help.

😁 When you fake a smile, there’s something amazing at work: facial expression alone, without even feeling the corresponding emotion, is enough to create noticeable changes in your nervous system and cause your body to release feel-good chemicals.

🙃 Faking happiness doesn’t count as genuine happiness, of course; it won’t bring lasting positive benefits. 😶

✋ To prevent denial, it’s important to regularly create space to be with your vulnerabilities and process your feelings, either by reaching out to trusted friends and family or by talking with a therapist.

But a pretend smile, on occasion, may be a useful and beneficial mood booster. 😃
