Micro Doses of Self Care

Self-care doesn’t have to mean a 90-minute routine, a weekend retreat, or one more thing on your already-full to-do list. In this episode, Dr. Karmon shares a gentler approach: small, intentional moments that help you reset your nervous system throughout the day.

You’ll learn how stress builds up, how to recognize your body’s early signals, and how to reclaim everyday transition moments for simple, supportive care. From the car-door buffer to sensory grounding and box breathing, these practical tools are designed for real life.

In this episode:

Why traditional ideas of self-care can create more guilt than relief

The power of five- to ten-minute “microdoses” of rest

How chronic stress affects your nervous system

A simple bucket metaphor for understanding emotional overload

A 30-second body check-in for noticing physical tension

Finding small reset moments in your existing routine

Practical ideas for working parents, professionals, and caregivers

A gentle reminder: You are doing enough, and you are allowed to rest.

Try this today:

Choose one five-minute transition in your day—before walking into the house, between meetings, or while your coffee brews—and use it as a moment to pause, breathe, and reset.
