This idea also helps me acknowledge my own intentionality--I deliberately craft my life in many ways so as to opt out of certain experiences as much as possible... and that's a wonderful thing!
This reframe is especially helpful for moms. We can all miss out and worry we made the wrong choice, but when illness strikes or we’re giving up opportunities while we’re up late with kids (ETC!), it doesn’t always feel like a choice. But it can still make the moments we do experience meaningful.
Yes, I think my post is informed by my own experiences of motherhood. And also chronic illness. Often the missing out doesn't feel like a choice, in both those situations.
We had so much sickness the second year of motherhood for all of us, and the third year for me (not much everybody else).
And for me, with chronic illness, every illness requires downing tools and rest, rest, rest.
Love this reframe!! I'm going to start embracing the JOMO instead of the FOMO!
I think I need to start some merch with these slogans on! ✊🏻
