Embracing JOMO as a powerful antidote

Life often feels like a constant race, and that is where the idea of JOMO (the Joy of Missing Out) has emerged as a powerful antidote.

The concept of JOMO has gained popularity in an era of social media overload, where the constant stream of curated experiences can create a sense of inadequacy.

Instead of feeling pressured to keep up, JOMO encourages rejecting external pressures to conform and to prioritise one's emotional well-being in achieving a healthier work-life balance, reducing burnout and promoting overall happiness.

Dave Hackney, general manager at ANEW Resort Ingeli Forest Kokstad, says JOMO refers to a relatively positive belief that cutting off all social media and digital devices can be blissful.
