What does Amanita Muscaria have to do with a diary / journal?

Updated: Jun 4

Admittedly: At first glance, it's probably not obvious what taking fly agarics has to do with keeping a diary (usually also called a journal). However, as it is actually one of the most valuable companions when microdosing, let's take a closer look at what it's all about today. 


Starting with microdosing - but how?


"All beginnings are difficult", at least that's how Johann Wolfgang von Goethe saw it. But is that really the case? The hardest thing about starting something new is usually overcoming our little inner "lazy bastard" that has so comfortably settled into the current situation. 


So it's all the more pleasing that it really isn't that difficult to start microdosing. Of course, you should first inform yourself thoroughly and understand how the Amanita Muscaria works, what it does when used in what form and, of course, how to prepare and take it correctly. You will therefore need a few hours to read through the "Unlocking the Power of Amanita Muscaria: A Masterclass" or listen to it while lying comfortably on the sofa. 


By the way, that was the 'hardest' part of your journey with the Amanita Muscaria! And we're sure you won't be able to wait to get started after all this great news about the healing power of the mushroom. 


That's why we think the following quote from a Hermann Hesse poem is much more fitting: "There is a magic in every beginning!" The best way to understand how wonderfully apt this sentence is for the journey of discovery with the powerful medicinal mushroom is to keep a journal from the first day of microdosing. 


Ah, you're not a great writer? No problem! In loving collaboration with experienced microdosers, we have created an appealing and clear journal that covers all the important points. Hardly any "paperwork", and recording the most important criteria on sleep, well-being, reduction in symptoms of illness, addiction pressure and much more can be done in just a few minutes every day.


Journaling - a real eye-opener 


Perhaps you're wondering why it's so useful to keep a diary of your microdosing? Well, that's easy to explain: "Amanita Muscaria newbies" in particular are often not quite sure exactly whether and how the microdoses they consume work and how they should assess their observations on them. However, the journal can be used to assess points such as the quality of your sleep, your perceived energy and creativity, your concentration level and your mood. You can also use the journal to assess the influence of the few milligrams of Amanita Muscaria, which you normally take twice a day, on physical complaints in no time at all. Using a simple points system, you can assess your well-being every day and the improvements you have noticed over the course of the microdosing. 


The weekly overviews and monthly reviews are particularly informative. There you can see at a glance what progress you have made in your development - both in terms of your physical health and your mood, creativity and activity. Only then do many new microdosers really realize the transformation they are experiencing thanks to their new friend and helper aka Amanita Muscaria. Because without a diary, it's often difficult to look back and say exactly when you started sleeping better, whether your concentration has improved or which aches and pains have changed and how. 


More self-care thanks to the Amanita Muscaria journal 

The microdosing diary also fulfills another purpose that should by no means be underestimated - because we all do too little of it: self-care! What's it all about? Well, how often do you take a little time out, just do exactly what you feel like doing or do something that you know would do you good? Far too rarely, right? Yes, that's how most people feel before they start microdosing. We simply live far too much "on the outside", following societal rules, doing this and that, which is what people think you have to do as a functioning member of society. But do you really always feel comfortable with this?


Right here, at this point, the Amanita Muscaria takes you by the hand and shows you very gently but impressively what you really want and need within yourself. You will notice that you can withstand pressure better and say "no" from time to time. You will set new priorities because you will feel a much better connection to yourself. New ideas come to you, you become more creative and active and feel like spending time in nature. And then your self-care becomes more central to your life again. 


Simply record these points in your journal to really understand how fundamentally your new plant friend is leading you on the path to a happy life. After a few weeks or months, when you look through your journal, you'll be amazed - that's a promise!
