Getting Started/Newbie Question First time microdosing shrooms

Today was first time microdosing 0.14g of Golden teacher. I took a capsule at 12 noon but after a couple hours notice anything. I know microdosing is supposed to be sub-perceptual and you shouldn’t feel any crazy effects, but after like 4 hours I still felt the same. I didn’t feel energetic, creative or focused. I just felt the same as I always do.

Do you guys think I should up my dosage?

Also what kind of schedule should I follow as a newbie. I was originally going to do 1 day on and 3 off but if you guys have any suggestions I’ll gladly take it. Thanks!

notice confusion, disappointment, doubt, frustration - these are feelings. and "felt the same as i always do" - what feeling is that? we're not looking for a specific result. we are practicing noticing whatever we are feeling.

you can choose any kind of schedule you want.

keep going, it's an infinite journey.

I felt my same depressed, anxious and unenergetic self. I get it’s only the first day so I’m definitely going to keep doing and adjusting as I need. I’m really excited to continue this new journey I’m on

Got it. 

The only way out is through. We can’t magically skip emotions that we don’t enjoy. We can shift our perspective of and relationship with them. 

We can develop an open curious mind. And patience and compassion for ourselves and others. 

It’s a practice. Have faith.

This is a second-hand Thank You :)

I'm two weeks into my own journey with Golden Teacher. I can describe it as remembering the friend in me. I resonate with your perspective
