You often pick up your phone only to&nbsp;<strong>check if you have any notifications, or to quickly go through your feed or stories<\/strong> and make sure that nothing interesting is really happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>FOMO can manifest itself in many other situations. <\/strong>It can happen, for example, in connection with various trendy things that almost everyone around you has, when you suddenly get the urge to buy them too. Often you might not even be so sure that these things will actually be suitable for you. The same is true for situations where people around you <strong>start investing and talking about it.&nbsp;<\/strong>You may then have a compulsive need to get into it too, so that you don&#8217;t accidentally miss out on something great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole thing is not really that surprising. People have the need to be part of society, but the question remains, where is the line between what is still okay and when it exceeds the tolerable limit? <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is impossible to determine exactly when the need to do certain things is normal, and when it is, on the other hand, uncontrollable FOMO. Each person has this limit set in their head differently. Typically, however,&nbsp;<strong>people become interested in the FOMO phenomenon at the moment when they start feeling that they might have a problem themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can FOMO manifest itself in the online environment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can become bothered by the fact that <strong>you are constantly on your phone<\/strong> and don&#8217;t keep up with your normal duties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You feel stressed when you don&#8217;t have your phone with you and can&#8217;t regularly check it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are overly concerned with other people&#8217;s lives and <strong>compare yourself<\/strong>&nbsp;to them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The thought of running out of battery during the day and not being online scares you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Those close to you point out that you are always <strong>looking at your phone<\/strong> and not paying attention to them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This list could go on, adding many more similar points that indicate that something may be wrong.

Their primary target is&nbsp;<strong>to attack dopamine, a hormone in the brain that is associated with the reward system. <\/strong>When someone invites you to an event, or likes your photo, the dopamine centre reacts and you feel a certain level of satisfaction. However, this feeling is quite addictive, so the brain sends compulsive tendencies to <strong>do other activities that will bring you similar satisfaction. <\/strong>So you reach for your phone time and again, waiting for notifications or posts that will in turn provide you with the desired reward. <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[5\u20136]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"style\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link data-no-optimize=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n\n    <h2>\n        You might be interested in these products:    <\/h2>\n\n    <div data-app=\"recommended\" data-products=\"59140,41284,58927,46111,48604,28082,53248,48604,28554,8805\" ><\/div>\n\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\"><\/script>\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Youre_not_online_that_much_so_you_feel_like_FOMO_doesnt_apply_to_you\"><\/span>You&#8217;re not online that much, so you feel like FOMO doesn&#8217;t apply to you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you not always online and can you easily imagine your day without your phone?

Set your priorities straight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you always on social media because you can&#8217;t stand the thought that you might miss something? If so, try to think about&nbsp;<strong>whether you might be missing something else.&nbsp;<\/strong>Quite possibly something more substantial. There are real people around you who won&#8217;t be here forever. It could be your parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents. Shouldn&#8217;t they be the focus of your attention?&nbsp;I personally don&#8217;t know of&nbsp;<strong>anyone who regrets the time they spent offline<\/strong>&nbsp;instead of having their phone in their hand.&nbsp;But I do know some people who regretted the time they spent online because they could have been doing much more useful things instead. Maybe you should try pointing your FOMO in a different direction and pay more attention to the people who <strong>are close to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1469655854-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"Set your priorities straight\" class=\"wp-image-430734\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"Set your priorities straight\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1469655854-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1469655854-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1469655854-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1469655854-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Don&#8217;t take social media so seriously<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that <strong>on social networks <\/strong><strong>you only see a fraction of people&#8217;s lives. <\/strong>If someone is not doing well, there is no need for them to inform the whole world about it. Think about what you share on your profiles.&nbsp;Are they&nbsp;<strong>vacation photos,<\/strong> or are you pulling out your phone in the middle of a fight with your partner to get material for your latest reels? I suppose it&#8217;s more the former.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>People who have a harmonious and satisfied relationship often don&#8217;t have the need to convince the whole world around them how satisfied they are, so they simply don&#8217;t post about the special moments they share with their significant other. However, this&nbsp;<strong>definitely doesn&#8217;t have to mean that they are not happy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And it applies the other way round too. Just because the people around you share loving gestures, love messages, and similar things every day, it doesn&#8217;t mean that their world is really that perfect. In short, you will always only see <strong>a fraction of other people&#8217;s lives on social media, and even the little bits they offer you might not be true at all. <\/strong>Remember this whenever you feel inferior and think that your life is not good and interesting enough compared to others or that you are missing something compared to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Don&#8217;t compare yourself to others<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This point is closely related to the previous one. You already know that others show you only a carefully curated fraction of their lives, so<strong> it would make no sense to compare yourself to them. <\/strong>Do you follow people who own fancy sports cars and want one too? Then <strong>give them a like on their photo <\/strong>and make sure&nbsp;<strong>you achieve it one day. <\/strong>After all, envy alone won&#8217;t get you there. Use others&#8217; success as motivation to work towards your own aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to realize that <strong>everyone moves through life at a different pace<\/strong>&nbsp;and achieves different goals at different times.&nbsp;Some people are at the peak of their working career in their 30s, but then they burn out and start from scratch in a completely different industry. Someone else might gradually work their way through the obstacles and become the top manager at the age of 50. Both are perfectly fine; <strong>each of us is exactly where we are supposed to be.&nbsp;<\/strong>This awareness should calm you down and discourage you from comparing your life to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1452757121-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"Don't compare yourself to others\" class=\"wp-image-430749\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"Don't compare yourself to others\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1452757121-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1452757121-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1452757121-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1452757121-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Work on your self-esteem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A confident person is not easily swayed. <strong>They focus on their own life and priorities, and don&#8217;t waste time worrying about people<\/strong> and things outside of their control. If they want to attend an event, they&#8217;ll go, but they won&#8217;t stress over missing out on something else. By working on themselves<strong>, they build their self-confidence, thereby increasing their overall self-esteem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in how to work on your self-confidence, you should check out our article <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-build-self-confidence-in-sport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"(opens in a new tab)\"><strong>How to Build Self-Confidence in Sports. <\/strong><\/a>You can then apply the same principles to other areas of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Learn to say NO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FOMO is driven&nbsp;<strong>by the desire to fit in and be a part of society.&nbsp;<\/strong>But you can&#8217;t be everywhere and you definitely can&#8217;t do everything either. The activities you engage in should depend on your goals. Based on the priorities you set,&nbsp;<strong>learn to make decisions and choose the opportunities you want to be around. <\/strong>Nobody can split in two, so you really shouldn&#8217;t worry about not being at every event either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You should learn to say NO in your work life as well.&nbsp;According to a survey of professionals on LinkedIn, as many as <strong>70% of people struggle to disconnect from work even if they proactively take some time off. <\/strong>They are afraid of missing out or otherwise falling behind. However, with such a permanent mindset,<strong> a state of burnout <\/strong>is just a matter of time. Taking a complete break from work is crucial to allow your psyche to<strong> rest, recover and prepare for other challenges, both at work and beyond. <\/strong><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[9]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about burnout syndrome, you shouldn&#8217;t miss our article <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-prevent-burnout-8-steps-to-overcome-toxic-productivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"(opens in a new tab)\"><strong>How to Avoid Burnout: 8 Steps to Break Free from Toxic Productivity.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Find out what makes you uncomfortable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to avoid things that make you uncomfortable, you need to <strong>learn to listen to your feelings. <\/strong>Only then can you identify the triggers of negative emotions.&nbsp;Some people may find it uncomfortable to watch people who, unlike them, have perfect morning routines.&nbsp;Others may be bothered by people who constantly talk about calories or weight loss. And some other people may feel uncomfortable watching others enjoying their weekend festivities. <strong>Everyone is different and has unique perspectives on things. <\/strong><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[10]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So watch out for what makes you uncomfortable and&nbsp;<strong>don&#8217;t follow the people who make you feel this way. <\/strong>Don&#8217;t worry, you won&#8217;t miss out on anything important. In fact, you&#8217;ll likely rid yourself of any discomfort that may have arisen from following their lives. Don&#8217;t feel pressured to say yes to every trendy item or tempting offer that appears limited in time. Additionally, resist the urge to purchase clothes simply because they&#8217;re on sale, especially if you don&#8217;t need them. Instead, consider the bigger picture, including the context of the situation and how it aligns with your personal philosophy and values,&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>think carefully about whether or not you really need the thing in question. <\/strong>You don&#8217;t want to end up with an apartment full of useless things, buying a special holiday trip that you don&#8217;t really want to go on, or agreeing to a limited-time offer that will be just as advantageous in a month or two. Remember that not everything that shines is gold. Before impulsively agreeing to something, it&#8217;s better to always take the necessary time to think things through. By making a considered purchase, you can only stand to gain.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1403687025-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"Work on your self-esteem\" class=\"wp-image-430764\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"Work on your self-esteem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1403687025-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1403687025-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1403687025-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1403687025-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_you_remember\"><\/span>What should you remember?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is full of opportunities and experiences, but it&#8217;s impossible to be everywhere or stay up to date on everything happening around you.
