If you don’t know what your friends are doing, will you get anxious (焦虑的)? Fifty-one percent of teenagers said yes when they were asked this question in a recent study. The fear that “I’m absent while others might be having fun” is called FOMO—fear of missing out.

FOMO pushes you to check the social media more often. This can make you become more easily affected by others. You may feel sad, lonely and bored if you start to experience FOMO. So, what can we do to deal with it?

You should stop worrying about what you may be missing out on. Instead, try to focus on (专注于) the good things you have already been doing. Use your spare time to do things you enjoy, such as painting or playing soccer.

By keeping a personal diary, you will learn to be more grateful for the great things you have in your life. You will realize that you are the only one who has control over your life, not the Internet.

When you feel lonely, why not meet up with people in real life? Talking with your family or taking part in a group activity can help you feel better.

As long as you live in the moment, you’ll never miss out on anything in your life!

A life coach is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals (目标) . Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here are some tips for you:

♦ Pay attention to your relationships with others

Ask yourself the following questions: How do you deal with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are.

♦ Face the fears about the future

Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible, but they followed their dreams and succeed.

♦ Develop your talents

If you want to reach your goals, you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have, and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven’t discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience.

♦ Be thankful

Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have. Remember positive memories.Think of the best day(s) you have had in the past month or year. Remember special parties, vacations and holidays. Appreciate the wonderful people you have in your life.

Confidence is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态度).A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:

When you are not confident, you can’t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.

Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.

Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you 69 done; well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done.

Fear comes along with failure (失败). But it’s easy to overcome if you know that failure is part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.
