We all experience FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) from time to time.  I have heard that spending a lot of time on Facebook can up the anti on this condition but I do not believe it has been studied scientifically.  It hits us at the fear of losing things.  I learned in recovery that there are basically two fears that can drive us.  The fear of not getting what we want or losing what we have.  When we anticipate missing out on something it can hit us hard.  It may start the story we have that we are not enough or we don’t belong because we are missing out.  Yet the very idea that we are missing anything we need essential to what makes us whole is ridiculous in God’s eyes.  God would not design us with missing elements.  The notion of missing has more to do with what we have disconnected from within.  When we return our attention to our hearts and sit deep within in quiet we can eradicate any notion of missing anything. Basing who we are on outside appearances and circumstances will always provide evidence of something missing because there is not constancy of comparison.  God is always certain of our wholeness and our connection to everything we ever need in our hearts.
