Your phone!

FOMO can cause major stress that can hinder your health goals. Today we want to share with you a quick survival guide on how to minimize your case of FOMO and still enjoy your time with your friends and family while staying on track.

• Uninstall your social media: If you get bored you might be tempted to scroll, this will be your major FOMO trigger so it’s best to stay away!

 

• Plan activities: If possible plan activities to keep busy, something active would really help your mental health!
