FOMO and Drinking: Understanding the Connection with Molly Watts
When you don’t redirect your thinking and you don’t challenge your FOMO thoughts, it leads to feelings that aren’t going to help you take the actions that will create the results you want in your life.
Ever found yourself reaching for another drink because you don't want to miss out on the fun? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast', Molly Watts dives into how the fear of missing out (FOMO) can influence our drinking habits. Drawing from both science and personal experience, Molly explains how our primitive brains and societal norms often trick us into believing that alcohol is essential for enjoyment and social connection.
But here's the kicker: giving in to FOMO can actually steer us away from our long-term goals and lead to feelings of regret and dissatisfaction. Molly shares practical tips, like the 'play the movie to the end' technique, which encourages you to think about the long-term consequences of your actions rather than just the immediate gratification.
This episode is packed with insights and actionable advice to help you break free from FOMO-driven drinking and create a more peaceful relationship with alcohol. Whether you're trying to cut back or just curious about why you drink more than you'd like, this episode offers valuable tools to help you make more mindful choices.
