FOMO-Fear Of Missing Out
I have been suffering from FOMO lately. You probably know what that feels like. It is that odd nagging feeling that everybody around you is engaged in their life but you can't figure out how to get on board of your own. It occurred to me that I've been here before. I worked on this very issue and back then I came up with six habits of happiness that made my life feel connected and sure.
I go to the water on a regular basis to watch the sunrise. The light coming out of darkness everyday is very comforting to me. The return, or Umkehr, is symbolic for all the truths I've learned that get forgotten or put on the back burner. These truths rise up again and testify of their veracity on a regular basis.
Six Habits of Happiness-
Pray Everyday
Study Everyday
Eat for Health Everyday
Create Something Everyday
Move Your Body (Exercise) Everyday
Serve Someone Else Everyday
When I'm practicing my habits FOMO evaporates. My life goes back to feeling connected and sure.

If you don't mind I think I'd like to adopt your habits as well. I'm wrapping up my move, and am looking for a new focus.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, me too!
ReplyDeleteI reread this today and really like your theme of umkehr or returning. I think life is a series of returning to those habits we wish to incorporate into our life.
