THE FEAR VS THE JOY OF MISSING OUT
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) has many faces. It doesn’t happen all the time or in the same way to any one of us. But by its very nature, FOMO cannot lead to true happiness or joy.
Every choice we make comes either from fear or from love. Fear comes from a mindset of scarcity, uncertainty, or doubt. Love comes from a mindset of abundance, possibility, or contentment.
JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) is essentially the antidote to FOMO. For sustainability, it needs to be a daily practice. Emotional attunement and intelligence come from doing work on ourselves. With self-growth and self-care, we become more open, and we learn to hold onto intentions for our lives. JOMO then becomes a more natural response to the overwhelm of life’s possibilities.
Use this inspiring book and journal to support your joy journey, however you choose to spend your time. Allow joy be your nature.
“These days, I’m choosing to miss out
And, to have much to laugh about.
There’s nothing to miss
When I follow my bliss”
— The JOMO Manifesto, Jordana Reim

ABOUT SHIRA LAZAR
Emmy-nominated leading voice around digital culture and emerging trends, Shira Lazar took the internet by storm with her web-first news brand 'What's Trending'. She's spoken at conferences including SXSW, VeeCon, NFTNYC, and NFTLA and was named Fast Company's Most Influential Women in Technology.
Shira is also the Co-Founder of PeaceInside.Live, a wellness community and platform offering virtual classes, workshops and retreats. PIL is constantly working to break down the barriers of entry to make tools for well-being accessible for all via Web3 community experiences and innovative workplace programs.
Long-time friends, Shira and Jordana became close when Shira began her own personal growth journey. After having some major high and lows building her business, What’s Trending, she lost herself in the process. When Shira saw that Jordana, who had once been in the corporate world, was now guiding retreats in the Himalayas, Shira’s intuition told her she might need a bit of whatever Jordana had been finding.
In 2019, Jordana was leading a transformational meditation and hiking retreat to the Base Camp of Mount Everest, and Shira was the first to sign up. It was during this trip, at 4,410 meters above ground, that Shira and Jordana bonded over a desire to create mind-shifting content to nourish others. They both wanted this matter to be accessible to anyone awakening to the possibility of living outside of highly-anxious social norms.
After a few months of content creation, however, Jordana got stuck in Thailand when the pandemic hit. Since her retreat couldn’t happen that year as planned, she and Shira ran it online as the “Peace Inside” Retreat. Born was the idea that wherever you are stuck, either physically or mentally, you can find Peace Inside.
Shira and Jordana partnered to create a sense of this retreat in our everyday lives. Never wanting people to be without a mental health resource, they tirelessly ran classes seven days a week, partnering with their favorite practitioners from around the world.
In 2021, as video-conference fatigue set in, their first Web3 project was ignited through a referral by Josh Kriger from Edge of NFT and Outer Edge LA. For over a year of collaboration, they provided Peace Inside wellness utility in their Discord and through Twitter Spaces. Jordana and Shira are both NFT collectors and Web3 builders who want wellbeing for all. As the industry is ideated, built and grown, they continue to find ways to meet others inside, wherever they are.
Peace Inside Live is a mindfulness platform for a global collective across Web3, video, audio and in-person channels.
Peace Inside was founded by Emmy-nominated broadcaster and digital media entrepreneur Shira Lazar and meditation guide, author and master facilitator, Jordana Reim.
Along with a network of 100+ global facilitators, we have served clients including Dinomonks NFT, Knights of Degen and World of Women, and corporate wellness with organizations such as The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Spotify.
