Thank you for reading and further for sharing back!

In my experience, taking a break doesn’t have to translate to extensive travel or eating your savings. Sometimes, it’s just about slowing down — stepping away from the grind for a little while to reset, even if that means enjoying simple moments in your own city.

After having kids (I have 2), my microdosing focus shifted from extended travel to finding joy in smaller experiences closer to home. Grabbing coffee or lunch with friends in the middle of the day, or trying something new, like a trampoline workshop. These pauses didn’t require elaborate planning nor a big budget; they were about reclaiming time in everyday life.
