Do You Have FOMO?

Don’t know what FOMO is?
I didn’t either until my family Christmas trip.
I saw a sign that said “Do you have FOMO?”
(try to imagine this)
I looked more closely at the rest of the sign.
It said that FOMO is…
(wait for it…………….)
"Fear Of Missing Out"
Do you need to be involved in everything around you? Do you need to know what is going on ALL time? Are you on Facebook watching your friends and family to see what they are doing? FOMO can be good or bad depending on how it affects your decisions and activities. Do you try all the new gadgets (wait in line for the new I-Phone), or know someone who does? Which needs are you fulfilling? Remember, the 6 human needs are certainty, variety, significance, connection, growth, and contribution.
You create more significance when you get new toys or do new activities you can share with others on Facebook. It is one way to fulfill one of your major needs. It can also create a sense of connection with others when we share it on Facebook, another need we have.
How does this relate to health? We create feelings of significance by talking about our symptoms such as pain to our friends and family. I know people with chronic fibromyalgia pain rehash their pain to everyone they meet. It makes them feel like they will gain attention from telling others, and thereby increasing their significance by feeling important. Yet, this constant sharing of your painful experiences, or any negative experiences, just make the energy of the pain or negativity stay in your energy pattern. We should find ways of expressing positive feelings and experiences to get more of that energy to grow in our system. Remember that one negative emotional state can affect our energy for up to 6 hours. Yet, positive emotional states build up our energy.
I have found out by doing the Emotion Code testing that we do much better when we focus on positive emotions in our life while releasing (and forgetting about) negative emotions. I like to give hope to people with fibromyalgia, and focusing on the direction we are going is much more effective than the pain we have experienced. Having progress in our lives creates happiness. This positive energy drives us toward a happier and healthier life. Positive emotions and experiences undo negative emotions and experiences. Look for the positive things you can be grateful for in your life. Live with the intention that you will create more positive experiences. I am sure there are many if you look. Also see how often you laugh and have a genuine smile each day. Laughing and smiling “without trying” show that you are really engaged in your life experiences.
My business motto of “Better Health Through Awareness” when combined with the hand cradle testing really shows you what you can do to create better health. By knowing what to work on and understanding why you are taking certain homeopathic remedies and supplements you can create more positive results. I have seen it happen often.
