How to embrace the joy of missing out
- Reflect. Review how you currently spend your time. Which activities are driven by others, as opposed to being intentional?
- Disconnect. Take the time to turn off your phone and spend time alone with your thoughts. Read a book, go for a walk, work out, whatever makes you feel good.
- Reconnect. Both with yourself and with the people you care about. Spending time in a meaningful way will help you stop worrying about how others spend their time.
