FOMO - Fear of Missing Out

This is a new kind of fear - Fear of Missing Out or FOMO. People often don't want to stay behind anyone. One of my neighbor went for an exotic holiday to Thailand, one of my friend bought the latest version of a sedan, one of my colleagues prepared a very good presentation about a new initiative, one of my colleagues was applauded at office today while no one talked about me. All these are examples of FOMO. Researches suggest that this phenomenon has gained strength during recent past. Researchers are also studying the ways FOMO is influenced by social media. Whatever the reason may be for the rise of this phenomenon but the bottom line is that it leads to fear and causes an increase in depression and anxiety especially amongst young people. In extreme cases this may lead to violence or even feeling of shame. So what is the solution to keep yourself safe from this syndrome?

 

1. Use Social Media Sites Only For What They Are Meant For

 

Social media sites are meant for keeping in touch with old / new friends, family, relatives, colleagues, etc. One needs to understand that while it is good to update about yourself and take updates about others but there is no need to turn into a maniac and over do it.

 

2. Believe In Yourself

 

One needs to have confidence in himself / herself and not always crave for attracting other people's attention all the time. If someone did not talk about you at certain point of time or someone ignored you some time, its alright. There is nothing great to worry about. Your attitude, talent, etc. will bring you in the limelight.

 

3. Learn To Be Satisfied

 

It is important to feel satisfied with whatever you have at certain point of time. Learn to identify that point of time when you need to tell yourself to stop running after stuff and be satisfied with whatever you have at that moment.

 

Hope by doing all of the above you would be able to keep Fear of Missing Out or FOMO away from yourself.

Don't Be Pushed By Your Problems. Follow Your Dreams!!

There is not a single human on this earth who has never faced a problem in his or her life. Problems will always be there and will try to push you back. But successful people are always led by their dreams. They never give up because of the problems. They always try to look for ways to get away from the problems and make this world a better place to live.

Here are certain tips to avoid being pushed by problems:

Don't Panic. Try to be cool and calm when you are entangled in problematic situations. I know it can be difficult at times but remaining calm and focused on your objectives is the only way out of the problems. Try to be happy and show it to everyone.

There Is A Solution For Every Problem. Just Keep On Searching For It. Keep searching for options in order to get your problems resolved. Make yourself sure that there is a solution to every problem. If you persistently keep on searching for solutions you will definitely get one.

Prioritize. You may have multiple problems. You may not be able to solve all the problems in one go. Make a list of the problems that you want to resolve and prioritize them in the order of severity. Target to resolve one problem at a time and plan accordingly.

Look At Others Problems. As I said earlier everyone on this earth has a problem in life. Until you look at or understand other people's problem, you may feel that your problem is the biggest in this world. But when you look at people and try to understand their problems, you would come across even bigger problems which people have. That will be the time when you would think that your problem is very small and you would be thankful. 

Follow Your Dreams. The most important thing of all is to simply follow your dreams. Don't worry about the hurdles that would come in your way while trying to realize your dreams. Patience and endurance are the key to success here. Have patience and never give up, you will see how easy it is actually to be successful.

What Is Atelophobia? How Is It A Blocker To Success?

I want to be perfect in everything that I do, I say, I wear... But is it really possible or even desirable to be perfect always?? 

People too often become victims of Atelophobia in other words 'fear of imperfection'. But one should always remember that mistakes are eye openers. They add to a person's experience. Mistakes are very normal. Till the time, you do not try to do a thing that you have never done before, you cannot do it. Any kind of fear of failure in doing that task perfectly is just a blocker which is blocking your learning and jeopardizing your confidence.

Some important points to remember about mistakes:

You Learn From Your Mistakes. If you made a mistake while doing anything be sure that your mistake teaches you to do it better next time. Your chances of achieving success are more because this time you are more experienced than before.

You Learn From Other's Mistakes. You watch people around you doing stuff daily. Humans tend to learn from each other's mistakes. You should always add to your learning curve the lessons learnt from other people's mistakes. 

Even Cream Of The Crop Perfectionists Make Mistakes. It's important to remember that no one on this earth is immune to making mistakes. Even the well known, successful people have made mistakes at some point or the other in their life. The only reason that they have become successful is that they were not afraid of making mistakes and taking lessons from them.

Mistake In First Attempt Is Alright. When you do a task first time it is perfectly alright if you commit a mistake, though you should try your level best to be right first time (and be sure that the mistake is not fatal or threat to life). But you should build your experience from there on and in your subsequent attempts should be able to overcome those mistakes.
