I was working with a VIP Coaching client, discussing decision making. Every day we have tons of decisions. They affect your future, and they could affect other people. My client was concerned that she was missing out by choosing not to participate with a particular social group and to engage with another program, instead. 

What if…?

It’s the question that hangs in the air and in your psyche when you choose one thing over another and you really find value in both. 

I reminded her that we always have options and that means we’re constantly faced with decisions. Sometimes those decisions are more difficult than others. For me, it’s like ordering off of a menu from your favorite place. 

When you choose one thing, you leave out so many other good possibilities. Every day is like a menu at a great restaurant. You chose what’s in for today and in doing so, you leave out everything else. 

Regret stems from feeling like you could’ve chosen differently. That “what if” wondering that hangs in your mind. The truth is you cannot go back to make a different choice. You can move forward and do so in the moment or the next time. 

Reflect on a few of the decisions you made last month—yes, just a few weeks ago. What decisions did you make that you are happy about? What decisions did you make that you aren’t happy about and wish had a different outcome?

The FOMO cure is based in 1) focusing in on what you do have and finding gratitude for it, and 2) looking at the decisions you made and the outcomes you got, then deciding—deliberately and consciously—what Best Next Step you’ll take. 

It does indeed come back to clarity, decision-making, and action taking. Throw in a dash of gratitude and you have a winning recipe!

Keep making your magic.
