Nowadays, FOMO is an undeniably real phenomenon fostered by social media use and capitalized upon by marketers to sell us everything. Practicing mindfulness can help regain focus and avoid FOMO.

Ever wondered what it might look like if you started to practice mindfulness when you were a teenager?  You don’t get any super powers, and you continue to be an imperfect human being, but you do learn some habits that make life easier.  Here’s a story about my journey through how mindfulness changed my life.

There’s no doubt that finding a job that aligns with our passions is a journey full of challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. With Mindfulness, we can learn to care for ourselves to help us through the ups and downs as we seek our dream job.
