Microdosing affects your mood and well-being as well as self-love. This love for yourself is important for feeling good about yourself, standing up for yourself and making choices that are right for you. A strong connection with yourself is important. In this blog you will read what microdosing can mean in this area.

What is self-love?

Mind-altering mushrooms have a definite impact on mental health. People who microdose (this involves taking such a low dose of magic mushrooms or truffles that you don’t notice hallucinogenic effects) report that it supports their creativity, mood and cognitive functioning. But microdosing can also help you feel a deeper connection with yourself, strengthen your self-love.

What exactly is self-love? Self-love means valuing yourself. Self-love looks different for everyone, but it includes being kind to yourself, being able to forgive yourself and avoiding harsh judgment of yourself. It also includes being able to trust yourself and see your own value. It also means being able to prioritize your own needs and set boundaries.

Self-love matters because it teaches you to put yourself first. When you start from self-love, you pay attention to activities that make you happy and recharge you. To do this, however, it is essential that you can set boundaries and say no.

That seems selfish, but research shows that taking care of yourself actually increases your empathy. Empathy comes from compassion and patience. But how can you be empathetic toward others if you can’t be empathetic toward yourself? If you can be kind to yourself, you are better able to be kind to others. To strengthen your self-love, you can use microdosing.

How microdosing can boost your self-love

Just to be clear, microdosing with magic mushrooms or truffles is not a panacea that will make you suddenly overflow with love for yourself. Microdosing can cause a subtle change in your mood and perspective. It can open a window, so to speak, to greater insight into yourself. With that, you can initiate constructive changes so that your life is more in line with what you want and what suits you.

Research suggests that microdosing can help improve your mood, reduce anxiety and help boost your ability to concentrate. It can even be used as support for PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, depression and ADHD. Furthermore, users indicate that microdosing can also help with:

• More creativity
• More energy
• Greater productivity
• Improve cognitive functioning
• Being able to make better decisions
• More positive outlook on life

Microdosing can be a great way to experience more self-love. Not by just flipping a switch, but by increasing your self-awareness, reducing anxiety and improving your mood. Microdosing can be the push you needed to grow.

How do you use microdosing for more self-love?

Loving yourself means taking care of yourself. So take a moment every day to do that. It is important that you regularly turn inward and see what you need at that moment, but also in the future. You can also use other ways of self-care and combine them with microdosing.

Keep a journal

If you’re going to microdose, it’s a good idea to start keeping a journal. This is helpful because you can keep track of your process. Do you notice any difference from microdosing and what do you notice it by? But you can also use journal writing to support your sense of self-love.

Write down what makes you happy and what activities give you a sense of fulfillment and gratitude. This will give you a better sense of what suits you and makes you happy. Then you can spend more time on these activities, which is a form of self-love.

Mindfulness and meditation

Mindfulness and meditation are a great way to cultivate self-love. These exercises give you more insight into your feelings and thoughts. You are fully present in the now and connect with your deep inner self. As a result, you become more aware of thought patterns, whether positive or negative. Meditating also teaches you to distance yourself from thoughts and emotions, allowing you to get less carried away and stay more centered.

Meditation and microdosing combine well. Because microdosing can enhance your concentration and reduce stress, you can get more out of your meditation.

Get out into nature

In nature, people can truly be themselves. If you want to boost your self-love, head out into the woods and fields. By hiking or even forest bathing, you can let go of everything and connect deeply with yourself. In nature, you can truly feel who you are and you don’t have to fear judgments. Nature takes you as you are and that can help you experience more self-love. Explore that feeling. Take time to meditate in nature. When you get back home, hopefully you can hold onto that feeling for a long time.
