FOMO, Social Media and Mental Health #08

Mindful Paths Podcast

Nick and Hari reflect on the good, the bad and the ugly of social media and how it impacts our mental health. FOMO – Fear Of Missing Out – is something we all experience, so we reflect on how we can best manage that. Tune in to this episode as we explore building meaningful connections, being aware of the stories we tell ourselves, and the power of simply stepping back and noticing what we are doing.

Key topics we discussed:

• The ‘social media vortex’ and our misinterpretation of messages
• The importance of fact-checking
• Strategies to correct our negative self-talk
• The difference between being right versus being kind
• The power of our thoughts and actions

Resources mentioned:

• The Social Dilemma – Netflix
• Osho – The Meaning of the Word F**k
