Weekend thought ✨

2/4 Microdosing hope could mean deliberately cultivating tiny moments of optimism, reassurance, or possibility throughout the day—small actions or thoughts that reinforce a sense of hope without requiring a dramatic shift in mindset.

1/4 MSW has an arguably strong case here. Micro-dosing hope is conceptually similar to exercising the vagus nerve with micromoments of love. Both involve small, repeated experiences that gradually strengthen emotional and physiological resilience.
