FOPO

Dr. Michael Gervais often talks about FOPO - Fear Of People’s Opinions - as the most prevalent form of fear we experience.

As I seek to make good on my 2020 promise to myself to “leak the content”, I find myself having to constantly repeat a mantra I learned from Elynn Diamond:

It is none of my business what you think of me.

When I post a blog: It is none of my business what you think of me.

When a new podcast episode goes live: It is none of my business what you think of me.

When I stir the pot and rail against the system on social media: It is none of my business what you think of me.

I offer this mantra up to you in the hopes that it will help you make good on your promise to yourself too. 

We know that fear can stop us in our tracks if we don’t have proactive measures in place to combat it. So, here you go, something that you can actively do whe you are feeling FOPO. Stare that FOPO in the face and confidently repeat “It is none of my business what you think of me.”
