Dr. Seuss had it right in Happy Birthday to You, even if it’s hard to feel like yourself sometimes. Microdosing might help. A new study published in Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs Online revealed that microdosing could be associated with a higher sense of authenticity, or feeling comfortably like one’s true self. The study indicated a significant increase in a state of authenticity on the day of microdosing and the day following. In addition, on microdose days, participants reported increased activities (i.e., cleaning, meditation, yoga, spending time in nature, and socializing) with greater satisfaction and interest in these activities.
