The joy of missing out, or JOMO, is the hot, sexy, good feeling, "I'm a badass" antithesis to fear of missing out (FOMO). It's about practicing self-trust, self-confidence, intuition, and following the beat of your own drum. It's knowing that you can't miss out on something you are meant to experience. It's taking pleasure in your own path, and relishing the small moments that life has to offer you each and every day. JOMO is a vibe of following your own bliss. And today we're going to get into how to make the shift to choosing joy and love over fear.
In this episode, Sinclair shares about:
- FOMO, fear of missing out is essentially a lack of belonging
- JOMO, the joy of missing out, when you trust yourself and lean into your inner power

- Beginning to question your belief system, your values, and your mindset as you expand on the medicine path
- Example of me not attending the MAPS Psychedelics and Science Conference
- Getting a gut feeling, feeling resistance in the body is a clue to something not being for you

- JOMO is a choice and often is accompanied by some FOMO as well, especially as you are learning to choose joy over fear
