How many times have you said yes when you really wanted to say no?
You know that moment—
👎 You’re already in your pajamas, ready to curl up with a book… when your friends text about that Paint & Wine night.
👎 You finally carve out time to write, but your husband wants to binge Netflix.
👎 You’re knee-deep in holiday invites and outfit anxiety, when all you truly want is a quiet night in with your dog and Netflix.
Sound familiar?
And be honest—how did you feel afterward?
Hungover.
Drained.
Irritable.
Regretting that you didn’t listen to your gut.
That’s FOMO talking—The Fear of Missing Out.
It tricks you into believing that saying yes keeps you connected, when really, it keeps you exhausted.
But here’s the shift:
What if you turned that FOMO into JOMO?
✨ The JOY of Missing Out. ✨
JOMO is peace.
It’s choosing rest over running.
It’s saying “no, thank you” and actually meaning it.
It’s trusting that what you’re missing out on wasn’t meant for you—at least not tonight.
It’s letting them do them, and you listening to your inner knowing and doing you.
When you embrace JOMO, you honor yourself.
You follow your knowing.
You keep your word to you.
And that, my friend, feels so much better than any night out ever could.
So the next time FOMO creeps in, pause and ask:
What do I really want right now?
Then choose JOMO—and watch how your energy, your boundaries, and your peace start to shift. 🦋
