FOMO

Our thoughts can be our best friend or worst enemy…

‘What’s wrong with me’.

‘Everyone else is out being happy and sociable’.

‘Why do I like being alone?’

We all get it. The ‘fear of missing out’.

It’s bank holiday weekend and many people are away, using the long weekend as a chance to get away, connect with loved ones, let loose, and all kinds of things. Just take a look at social media and you’ll see it,

Preempting a quiet weekend, I decided to see if any yogis wanted holistic offerings which they did. I love this and I am so honored to hold that space- it lights me up no end and I’m so lucky to call this my career.

I had the opportunity to go and socialise which I was all for and I did show up but within an hour, a cloud came over me and I wanted to go back to safety.. home.

I realised there may be others who have felt the same at times and maybe I could reassure them and give some tips on how I turned the cloud into sunshine.

1- Stop Scrolling

Take an hour maybe more, to disconnect from social media and take it the joys of your surroundings. Also on this note, is it time for a ‘loving cull’ to detox your social media?

2- Refill Your Cup-

What makes you feel good? I went to the beach with Sasha as I’ve missed her this week, to listen to the healing waves, take in some evening sun and just walk together in silence. A little cup of cheeky hot chocolate from @Rockwater was another hug of love.

3- Take Care of your Tummy-

Make/order a yummy meal. Emotions are connected to the gut. It’s also another brain. This one was random but I just put things I craved and named it my ‘messy bowl’- Poached egg, broccoli, carrots, organic rye bread and tinned mackerel.

4- Bring Love into your Home-

Sage the energy, light lovely incense, do some yoga, breathwork or something from your ‘self-love cup’. Journal how you feel and reframe it. I went for cards and my new Moon Bowl (thank you @blissfulbowllady).

There are others and I’m always open to other tips and collaborations.

This is one of the cards I drew and had I done so before my walk, I would have danced on the sand.

When you feel yourself being overwhelmed, lost or surrounded by the cloud, change your energy.

Thank you for reading and I hope this helps.

Reach out, I am here,

Love, Gratitude & Fluff,

Ali & Sasha
