FOMO Pluses

It’s very easy to think of FOMO in terms of what you are missing out on in any given moment. If you want to change the way you feel, you must change the way you think. How could you do that with COVID-19? Think of what you “get” when you must give up something. There is always a “gift,” if you look for it. For example: a serious reduction in the $ spent on gas or petrol; able to sleep in a bit longer in the morning (even if you are working remotely); having the family actually eat at least one if not two or three meals together every day; getting to create new recipes with whatever food supplies are on hand; not having to shave every day or put make-up on every day; actually watching some movies together . . . and the list goes on. I miss traveling and speaking. Take that back: I miss the people I meet when I travel (those 15-20 hour plane flights plus layovers are not missed!) and the pleasure of sharing brain-function information with others. On the other hand, I am writing more and figuring out scripts for mini podcasts—and having a great time. If you have been fortunate enough to avoid the virus or have recovered from it try GIMO:  Glad I Missed Out!
