Silence — a luxury, yet so elusive these days.
I was listening to a podcast recently when the idea of microdosing caught my attention — not in the way you might think, but in relation to silence. Of course, sitting in stillness for extended periods is the most potent form of this practice. But let’s be honest — creating that kind of consistent daily ritual can be challenging.
So what if, instead, we learned to microdose silence throughout the day? Little pockets of quiet that help us reset, ground, and return to ourselves — even for a moment.
Here are a few simple ways I’ve been experimenting with this lately:
* Leaving my earphones at home when I walk my dog
* Driving without music or podcasts — just me and the road
* Eating lunch with no distractions, simply tasting and noticing
* Swapping my morning podcasts for the soft hum of my diffuser while I get ready
It’s amazing how these small, intentional pauses can create a sense of calm that carries through the rest of the day. 🌿
