When it comes to personal development and longevity, microdosing may be the key to unlocking the best version of ourselves. Microdosing is a technique used to take very small doses of a (legal) substance to achieve powerful results, from improved mental clarity to achieving better physical control over one’s body. In this blog post, we’re going to focus on 7 tips to get you started with microdosing.
What is Microdosing?
Microdosing is a technique that involves taking a very small, low-dose of a substance, typically up to 10% of a recreational dose. This is because microdoses are not meant to get you high, but to improve focus, creativity, and motivation, as well as reducing stress and anxiety. Common substances used in microdosing include psychedelics, natural herbs, nootropics, and vitamins. The dosages involved in microdosing are so small, there are rarely any risks associated with it.
7 Tips to Get You Started Microdosing
1.
Do Your Research
Before you start microdosing, make sure you have done your due diligence in researching the substance you plan on using. It’s also important to understand the potential legal issues associated with psychedelics and other substances.
2.
Start Small
When starting to microdose, it’s important to start with very small doses, and gradually increase over the course of a period of weeks or months. This is the best way to ensure you are getting the most out of your microdose experience.
3.
Find the Right Substance
Not all substances are created equal. Different substances will produce different effects, so it’s important to find the one that works best for you. Start with substances that have little to no associated risks.
4.
Track Your Progress
When you’re first starting out, it’s important to keep track of your progress. Note changes in your mood, focus, and motivation, as well as any changes in your physical and mental health.
5.
Know Your Limits
In any situation where drugs or substances are involved, it’s important to understand your own limits and be mindful of what your body is telling you. If you experience any adverse reactions, immediately stop doing the microdosing until you can speak to a doctor.
6.
Listen to Your Body
It’s important to always listen to your body and to not push yourself too far, too fast. Start gradually and only increase your dosage if and when your body tells you to.
7.
Create a Support System
It can be helpful to have a friend or family member you can reach out to if you experience any challenges while microdosing. A good support system will keep you accountable and remind you of the potential risks.
