30 Days Of Microdosing

I stared at my hand, at the label on the bag of coffee beans, at my desk plant, nothing happened…

Who?

I’m Marije. Every 30 days I try something new and write up what actually happened, failures included.

Aim high, dream big, the world’s your oyster, you’ve got this… Be lame, tell yourself whatever you need to hear so you get started. Just do it, shoot your shot.

I’ve spent the better part of the last 15 years building character, a noble pursuit. Mind you, whilst I was in the midst of it, it felt more like failing at life. Nothing like a dip at rock bottom to get yourself into gear.

After doing a double master’s in the subject, I have yet to graduate in mindfulness. I have however become painfully self-aware as I have landed in my writer era.

Next up: 30 days unemployed, live from 1 November. Follow along.
