Social media has made it incredibly difficult for many people to maintain good mental health. It's hard to stay neutral, not compare yourself to others, and not experience FOMO - the fear of missing out. FOMO refers to the perception that others are having more fun, living better lives, and experiencing better things than you are. It stems from a deep sense of envy and can have a tremendously negative impact on your self-esteem. Since May is Mental Health Month, now is the perfect time to discuss setting limits and getting rid of FOMO to stay mentally healthy online. Let's look at both the personal and business angles.
