The term JOMO – the Joy Of Missing Out – developed by Marian Rojas Estape in her social networks, seeks a pause in the frenetic pace of the patients who usually come to her practice.

And this is how many people nowadays feel; as if there is no pause for breath and the world is much faster than we can handle.

What is JOMO

The therapist Marian Rojas refers to this term as a way of slowing down. For this, the expert speaks of ‘permitted boredom’ and highlights the importance of slowing down and letting life slow down. We should take breaks to be in a natural environment, to observe the world, to enjoy people…

It is important to put the brakes on and find the physical and mental peace that we so desperately need today.

This will help us to learn to live in the moment and try to appreciate what is around us and present in our lives.

JOMO the anteposition to FOMO

Right now we live in a FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) society. This term is based on the fact that society and those who make it up, seek to be present at all events for fear of missing out on something important. This obsession causes society to constantly find itself with a plethora of plans that fill our agendas. This is an overstimulation that, when it wears off, makes us feel empty.

The therapist encourages JOMO as a substitute for FOMO in order to enjoy life. In this way we will learn to miss out on plans in a conscious and positive way, the aim being to enjoy more of the life that is passing before us.
