1. My strategy in avoiding forms of FOMO and consumerism is to consider deeply how much value will this bring to me. This strategy will depend on multiple factors value being one of them. However multiple other factors such as staying power and availability of repairs will detriment how I protect myself from FOMO

2. The first step research about the product. See how relative it is how much staying power it has. Availability of repairs is a factor in which will influence these things. The second step is to reflect whether will you need this in the next 5 years or 3, if it does keep it in mind until you do. Unless the item doesn't meet these criteria avoid it and save yourselves money. For a bad example, the iPhone. Every year it comes out with a new model and features. This causes older models to become outdated due to system requirements. A good example is the Nokia; my grandfather has a Nokia from the 90s and it works amazingly functionally.

3. This helps as it considers multiple scenarios. Doing this will help me save thousands of dollars allowing to not participate in active consumerism and allows me to have more money for things that I actually want, such as vacations, rather than just jumping on every trend that I see. Doing this is an active way to save yourself, your wallet and the environment.

1. my own strategy is comparing the positive and negative sides, like for example when labubu becomes viral, there was a lot of people lining up just for that plush toy, especially in America, they would line up from 6 am until popmart, the company store opens, then they would rushly enter the store and bought it all, they can sold out in an instant, personally I do not want to line up that long just for a scary looking type of plush toy Keychain and yet they're quite pricey for a toy like that

2. maybe for instance whenever a video appears in your FYP about someone reviewing a labubu, I would usually skip it so I will not be interested, but if someone famous like a influencer or a singer that I know or like, I would probably watch the video until half of it, and I would remind myself the effort of people just to get ONE box of the plush that could take hours just to get it, after that don't get tricked by the discount of their product, it may be their marketing strategy to lure people to buy more labubu's, and if your interested to hold one, just borrow a friend's, it can satisfy your curiosity to know what does it like to have one in your hands

3. it may help because the less interested we become our desire to buy one can reduce , and by doing this simple action it can help reduce waste, and you can save up your money to buy something more important and benefical for yourself, perhaps like something you really need to have for examples groceries, clothes etc

1. Strategy

- My strategy to create a FOMO sheild plan for myself is by using the method of telling myself that it is not an essential. Another way I can create a FOMO sheild for myself is by watching videos about the bad and dissafects sides of the item. Like for example when I get the fear of missing out for not having the newest iphone, I like to tell myself about the fact that my iphone still works perfectly fine, and that there will be new iphones coming out soon. The last idea/stratergy I will brainstorm to overcome the fear of missing out is by limiting my screen time which will show me less items to want.

2. Step-by-step instructions

- The first thing I can do is to remind myself not everyone in the world has it.

- The second thing I can do is telling myself that trendy items isn't a need.

- The third thing I can do is to look up honest reviews and dissafects of the item.

- The fourth thing I can do when I really want something is to remind myself that I have something like it which works perfectly fine.

- The fifth thing I can do is to limit my screen time using apple settings, especially on instagram, tiktok or the applications that shows me trendy items.

3. Why this strategy will help

- In my opinion, this strategy will help me overcome the fear of missing out by actually being able to reflect and consider my choices. Especially with the items that wont be trendy in a while, like labubus. Using this strategy and step-by-step instructions, I am able to genuinely re-think my choices and find a better choice. And doing this will also save me alot of money, instead of buying stuff I dont need like my labubus which I just store away and barely use.

1. My strategy is keep my money in sperate groups so I can limit the use of my money so i can avoid FOMO and think about how this will help me if it wont help me in any sort of problem i wont buy it.

2. step 1: when you see a friend having a FOMO item and they say " bro everyone has this you need it" just not think about it and think about how you can be different and not buy the item

step 2: limit social media use so you dont see a lot of items that will urge you to buy useless things

Step 3: Use the money on somthing else or keep it in a secured account to ensure you wont spend it.

3. This can help because the plan is good and very effective allowing people to think before spending their money.

Fomo Protection Strategy

1. My strategy to protect myself from FOMO, is that we can take digital breaks for a while so we can see the real world and not brainrot labubu edits, another way we can protect ourselves from FOMO on social media is to remember to recognize your true worth, because your true worth isn't determined by objects or people's opinions and approval.

2. Below I will tell what the steps is to protect ourselves from FOMO.

● The first step is to limit your screen time or just take some breaks of your device

● Then go outside to experience what it feels to be outside

● Now think to yourself about your true self-worth, and remember to know that your worth is not determined by people online and their judgment

3. These steps might help, because they let your eyes have some rest and you can remember who you really are.

1. State my strategy?

My strategy on how I would avoid or try to avoid FOMO, is by turning FOMO into JOMO, joy of missing out as I heard. Don't focus on what you lack about yourself, what everyone else is doing, and commparing yourself to ther people to either make you smaller or bigger. You have to appreciate what you already have instead. This will definiately stop your waste of money, buying stuff that you don't really need, trying to convince yourself that this is really important for you to get, gaslighting yourself. Prevents overconsumption making scarcity less.

2. How to do it step by step?

- Pay attention to yourself and the media. What makes you feel that you're left out, social media, trends, school, or what ever makes you anxious, behind, or embarassed. Bby identifying these factors you cna probably see why you feel like you're FOMO.

- set boundaries, start blocking apps from sending you emails, lets say block pinterests from sending you mail updating you on whats the new trend, just making you feel behind and left out.

- learn to say no and be grateful for what you have everyday. Learn to say no to your friends inviting you into buying the new stanley cup or Labubu, Be grateful for everything that you have, think in your head on what made it possible for you to be here, your parents, food, shelter, etc.

3. Why it might help?

By eliminating distractions such as social media creators/influencers trying to convince and persue you onto trying their partnership company products, listing all the benefits but never really the downsides.

1.I'll save my money as best I can, because why would I buy that item? I don't need it. It's just a trend. If I don't buy that thing, nothing will happen to me, I won't die or anything like that.

2. First you need to think it first, is that want or need. Second think it, is it important? So before you act you need to think first. Is it important or not, is it we must haves?

3. Why it might help? This plan helps because it stops you from buying things just because everyone else is. When you think first, you can save money and not waste it on trends you don’t really need. It also helps you feel more in control of your choices, not pressured by others. Over time, you’ll learn to make smarter decisions and focus on what is actually important to you.

1. State your strategy

To avoid consumerism, I should and will think first before I purchase something such as "Do I need this?" or "Is this a need or a want". This can prevent me buying stuff that I dont need and that I know might turn into waste. This also prevents me from having things that I dont need at all at home which can make my house look like a mess.

2. How to do it step by step.

Before purchasing, I need to remember consumerism and think about it. "Do I need it", "Is it fomo", "Will I use it when the trend goes out".

I also need to think "how is it a need, how will I use it in the future?, How is it helping me in some way? Am I buying this because of FOMO? Am I buying this because I really need it or I really want it??" This can really change how I see products whenever I want to buy something because sometimes I get the desire to buy things I dont need or what I wont use in the future. Sometimes I might buy thing just because of it looks

Then I need to remember the things I have at home, this can also help because the things I already have at home might be similar to the product I am tempted to buy. Things I have at home might also mean, thinking "Do I have something similar like this?" or " Do I have the same thing already?"

3. This can help because by thinking deeply if it is a need or a want, it can really help us by making us rethink why do we need to buy this and how this can impact in our life. This can also help whenever we see the things or notice the things we dont use anymore, we might think how it was a waste of money or how useless it is.

1. State your strategy:

My strategy is rethink if the product that you want to buy is really useful or is the thing really a need and maybe we can also compare something the same product but with a lower price but the quality of the product is better than the one who bought for a higher price but the quality is bad.

2. How to do it step by step:

Maybe if there is a influencer or someone that goes viral they post a video about reviewing the labubu or the stanley tumblers maybe we can just watch the influencer video about reviewing the labubu or the stanley cups and then we can think again by ourself is that thing really useful for us or is that thing just a want because when we want to buy something for example like a new iphone or a new water bottle we usually have to re think if that thing is actually useful for us.

3. Why it might help: I think it might help because maybe after people re think about the product that they want to buy at first sometimes they can change their minds and maybe they don't want that product anymore after they think because maybe after they re think again they might think that actually that product is not really a need or maybe they can also think that thing is not a need anymore and sometimes after they rethink about that product or the thing that they want they might change their mind.

1. State your strategy

To avoid consumerism / commercialization, I should think first to myself before purchasing, do I need this because I truly need it, or do I feel the want to acquire this item just because it is trending on the market? Is it something I would truly use a lot, or is it something I'd use for a small while and then eventually get bored of it? After this, I can finally decide if I should purchase the item. This way, the things I buy won't end up untouched or unused. If this technique doesn't work, I should think of what I can do with the item if I lose interest if I happen to impulsively purchase the item.

2. How to do it step by step.

Before purchasing, stop and think. Ask yourself these questions. "Do I need this item, or do I want it because somebody I look up to ( Your favorite actor/actress, Your favorite influencer, etc. ) has it?" "Do I want it because I really need it or because it's trending in the market?" "How can I put more use to this item?" "Do I still have something that is similar to this item?" "How can I put more use to this item" "What if I end up not liking it and it stays untouched?" and other questions. Give yourself time to pause and think, do not rush yourself!

Then, ask yourself, "What would purchasing this do to the environment?" Think about how long it'd take for that item to break down. If the answer to most of the questions lead to consumerism or comercilization, you must put down the fire in you saying that 'You need it!' and hold yourself back from buying that item.

But this doesn't mean that you have to completely let go of this item. When the trend has faded, visit back that item you were eyeing. If it still looks appealing to you, and you truly want the item, you can click purchase.

3. Why it might help?

It can help as less items will end up as waste and the damage of consumerism to the environment will lessen. The reason this can help is because you're holding yourself back from purchasing something that you think will end up in waste. Because of this, you're helping the environment whilst also saving your money for something that you actually need. That money that you saved can be used for things that can actually help us, instead of buying impulsive items we'd never bat an eye on the next week.

1. My strategy to get out from FOMO trend is, according my perspective my thinking is always think that the fomo-fomo things will not give good impact for aour live and only be trash later and dosen't use annything, also the fomo things and stuff It's just a one-time use/just to show off to look cool, and it might not be something we like, but something we want to show off and follow other people's trend. For me, I'm not tempted by that because I prefer buying things I like, not following other people's FOMO.

2. I dosen't had to much step by step, I only thing before I act to but something, especially the things that got from things that has Fomo elemnt there and I prefer Buy things that I like,love,and Want. Rather than things that but for prestige and fomo.

3. It also might help me by using money for more important things to used for buying/want things somethings. And it made me learn how to managing money is much more effective and can also be used and made for things that are more useful and more important to use, and for me the money that I don't use I prefer to use for investment things such as selling so that the money is more meaningful to use and will be more useful for us and for that money the money continues to grow and is more useful and more useful than using it to buy or use useless things. And also I learn how to manage my money and used it for more good and better action.

State your strategy

To save my self from fomo, I will try to stop and think about if I really need this and will this benefit me in the future or longterm before making the decision to buy. Instead of reacting quickly because of the excitement that the influencer give I will remind myself that I don’t have to follow what every other person is doing.

How to do it step by step

First I will stop and give time to myself if I really need this instead of a quick decisions, then I can ask myself about why I want it and what it can benefit me in the longterm because it can be a temporary feeling that the influencer can deliver.

Why it might help

This might help because it allows me to avoid making dumb or impulsive decisions that are based on the temporary feeling and excitement. By stopping and thinking about it, it will help because you will have a clear understanding of whether you really need it or not.

FOMO, it is both a blessing and a curse as it provides excitement to buy products while also draining your money by a considerable amount. In this post, I would share a “FOMO” Shield that would be essential to classify and evaluate whether or not the product is useful or not.

The strategy that I will provide is called “Product Evaluation and Reflection”. This procedure would essentially be a key to understanding and evaluating a product or FOMO of its usefulness and quality. In this process, you would firstly take a look at the physical product or an image of the product and take mental notes about its quality and appearance. Evaluation is key as understanding the usefulness of the product based on appearance and look will serve essentially see if the product really is reliable or just a money draining FOMO. After evaluation, reflect upon yourself and think by asking this question: Is it really any use for me? This would ensure full consciousness when deciding whether or not to buy the product or not, effectively blocking FOMO for yourself.

Procedure Steps:

EVALUATION

Find: Find a physical or image of the object.

Observe: Observe and take mental notes upon its appearance and quality.

Judge: Judge the product to figure out if it really looks reliable and useful or not.

REFLECTION

Ask yourself a question: “Is it really any use for me?

Refer to the product to see if this product is essential or not.

Find any problems in your daily lives that may use the product.

Judge and ultimately figure out if the product is a FOMO or could be an essential in your daily lives.

This procedure would ensure the consciousness and awareness to buy thoughtful purchases and avoid FOMO products for both financial aspects and long term effects.

1. I will try and do my best not to be FOMO so I can't waste my money and try to forget what is the trendy thing that made me FOMO by thinking about other things.

2. How to do it step by step is first try and forget what is the thing that made FOMO and then think about something else so I could forget about the trendy things that made me FOMO and then lastly mute the notification of my phone about the newest trends to prevent me knowing the latest trends that are happening.

3. It might help by making us don't know what are the latest things and stay with the old trends even though they are not that popular anymore. Also by muting the phone it could also prevent us to check our phone every time.

1. Strategy to avoid FOMO :

1.) Try not to get influenced by the social media no matter what.

2.) Try to skip videos that that has a high chance to make me FOMO

3.) Start to be grateful with the things I have

2. - Try to understand what I really need : by this I can know if I really need this product or not. For example : When I saw a video of something that can boost my desire, I just skip the video and watch something else instead.

- Search up the product to see if it is really useful or not : By this, I can be clear with my decisions. For example : When I saw the labubu keychains i just search it up in google to see what it really looks like

Ask my self do I really need it or not : By this, I can just know if its just a FOMO or not. For example : When I saw these shoes, I just ask my self if I really need it or if it is just a FOMO>

3. This might help me because doing these things can save me from buying things that I do not need. I can also learn to save money and to not buy things that are not important.

1. State your strategy

- The strategy is, making a a budget for your FOMO shopping, for example you make a list of the things you want to buy but you give a maximum number so you don't waste a lot of money, however the items are so trendy and the community around you have it but you have to calm down yourself and think the possitive or the negative sides so you do't really waste a lot of money.

2. How to do it step by step

Research about the products

List the things you wanted to buy

Make a maximum at least 3 or 5

Make a budget but not to high

When you make the list it's only for per 3 months.

Do a reflection after you bought all the things, if it is to expensive or not.

After buying the products

3. Why it might help

This strategy might help to not spend you money too much because if you have a budget you won't spend more then your budget and using this startegy you can know where is the bad ad the good things wether you will buy it or no, and last you can have lot of spaces in your house.

1. My strategy to avoid fomo is to avoid social media/barely use social media, I need to focus on my priorities and goals. The impact of excessive social media use can have a negative impact, for example when you see a lot of videos about labubu, everyone keeps talking about labubu all the time, it makes you curious about labubu and you think about buying it. So if you want to avoid the labubu videos, you need to barely use and opening social media.

2. The step-by-step way to do this is to first limit my social media time, maybe 1-2 hours per day. I know this is difficult, but if you do it often, you'll get used to it. And the final step I need to take is to ask myself before buying items that trigger fear of missing out (FOMO), whether I really need that item in my life.

3. This plan can helping us because it can reducing stressed, you will not spending your money for an item and it can make a better habit.

1. My strategy in avoding FOMO is to stop and think if the following product is beneficial for me, and what benefits, does it have trade-offs, and other aspects. For example like basketball shoes, I really do want the new basketball shoes like Ja 3s, but I re-think the function of it, and its just the same function with my basketball shoes which is to protect your ankles while playing basketball. So I will only buy new basketball shoes when I broke mine or when my basketball shoes has worn out grip because then it will be slippery to play basketball and slippery shoes is dangerous, this mindset protect me from FOMO

2. First step, know better about the product, how long would it last, and do I really need it? For example I mentioned about basketball shoes, but I guess I don't really need new ones when my pair of shoes does not have worn out grip or it broke.

Second step, (Only happens when the first step's answers is a need) If you need it, then does it have to be that expensive product? What aspects does it have that other products dont? Lets say my basketball shoes is broken, do I really have to buy the expensive new Ja 3s? It doesn't have to be Ja 3s, can be basketball shoes that are less expensive.

The last step (third step) Decide whether its worth it to buy or no? Look back at the answers of the previous steps, are the answers pointing that the product you are about to buy worth it? If its not worth it then don't buy and waste your money. If its worth it then you can buy it.

3. This might help because when you think about the real function of the product, it might be the same as their relatives. Like basketball shoes, doesn't have to be the trendy basketball shoes like Ja 3s, can just be less expensive basketball shoes. This prevents waste of money and maximize money effeciency.

1. My strategy to prevent my self from getting in the FOMO trap, is using the thnk first before you act strategy

2. This strategy is focuses on controlling your brain ipulses to "pause and reflect" yourself when coming across a cool advertisement and having the "urge" to want the product on the ad, but first you pause and ask yourself if the desicion of your long-term goals or just a trendy item to keep along with others. Notice what caused the feeling of wanting it, was it a specific person's post or a notification and check for sign of stress on your body, think of why you want it, how can it impact your life, is it necessary for you?. After you made the decision to say no to the want and realize it dosent matter, you finally commit and let go of the FOMO, you move on by focusing what kind of items or products that matters to you, your daily life, your health and your savings

3. This strategy trains me to control my brain impulses, it trains your brain for better decision making and improve your self-reflect

# data[].attributes.body
1. State your strategy

My strategy to creating a fomo shield plan is to always trust in your self, what you need and want.Instead of being excited by being influenced by others, see what you want or what you love in yourself.Put limitation on what you see that creates fomo, where you try to fit in the community just because of a trending product that is influenced by advertising schemes and our pressure to fit in.

2. How to do it step by step

The first step is to see what you love to do, your hobby and your passion to do things.Instead of seeing trendy stuff, buy something related to your passion.For example your passion is drawing or painting, you can buy drawing or painting supplies such as stationary, acrylic, oil pastels and other more.Trendy things such as stanleys, or iphone 17 is not a stuff that we actually need.The stuff is not very usefull for our passion or something we love to do.

3. Why it might help

It might help to reduce FOMO by helping others realize what they actually want and need, not determinded by the society and community.It can also help to reduce consumarism that also affects the earth and enviroment such as problems like industrial pollution, non-sustainable agriculture, etc not just ourself.

1. To save myself from FOMO, I will pause before reacting and think about whether I truly want or need something. I will focus on what benefits me in the long term instead of getting caught up in short-term excitement. I will remind myself that I don’t have to follow what everyone else is doing, especially influencers or trends.

2. First, I will stop and give myself time instead of making quick decisions.
Then, I will ask myself if I really want this or if I just feel left out.
Next, I will think about how this will benefit me in the future, not just right now.
After that, I will remind myself that the feeling is temporary and influenced by hype.
Finally, I will make a calm decision based on what is actually right for me.

3. This might help because it prevents impulsive decisions based on temporary emotions or excitement. It gives me time to think clearly and understand what I truly want. Over time, it can help me feel more in control of my choices and less influenced by others.
