New: Cancer FOMO

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne explores the concept of FOMO — Fear of Missing Out — and how it uniquely affects cancer patients. Drawing from personal experiences and referencing a 2021 study from the World Journal of Clinical Cases by Gupta and Sharma, Saranne explains how FOMO can lead to anxiety, disrupted sleep, and emotional issues, especially when compounded by the rigorous demands of cancer treatment. She emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and introduces the concept of JOMO — Joy of Missing Out — as a healthier mindset. By creating an inner life filled with joy, one doesn't need to keep up with social expectations and can instead focus on what truly brings peace and happiness. "Forget others, me only." – Saranne Today on Beating Cancer Daily: ·     FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out, and social media often exacerbates it.·     A 2021 study identified multiple negative impacts of FOMO, including anxiety and reduced physical well-being.·     For cancer patients, FOMO can add unnecessary stress during treatment, making it crucial to manage social engagements wisely.·     JOMO — Joy of Missing Out — is about finding contentment in one's inner life rather than external activities.·     Self-preservation is key during cancer treatment; knowing when to rest and recharge is vital.·     Practical strategies for combating FOMO include journaling, meditation, and turning off social media.·     Scheduling social connections via digital means can help maintain relationships without the physical strain of going out.·     Tools like ComedyCures LaughLine offer daily humor, aiding in emotional well-being. Resources Mentioned:ComedyCures Foundation (https://www.comedycures.org/)https://www.comedycures.org (https://www.comedycures.org) The #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot and Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcast by CancerCare News, Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in more than 91 countries on six continents and has over 300 original daily episodes hosted by stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg!   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ (https://www.comedycures.org/) To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 (https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8) To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions (https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions)To sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/ (https://www.comedycures.org/)Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate (http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate) THANK YOU!
