A Personal Perspective: Find light amidst triggers and trauma.
explains that “glimmers refer to small moments when our biology is in a place of connection or regulation, which cues our nervous system to feel safe or calm.”
A glimmer is a mini-moment that creates an itsy-bitsy mood shift. For example, when you pet your cat or hear your favorite song a gleam of contentedness emerges. Glimmers are those brief moments reminding us of the beauty and joy in the world, helping us feel safe.You can create more glimmers by creating a habit of intentionally noticing them. Grow glimmers by discovering what some of yours already are.Start by noticing the small, everyday things that bring you a little lift or sense of comfort.
Before I knew anything about glimmers, I looked out for those small things that spark calm, safety, and hope. I’m not talking about 15 minutes of joy. I’m talking about a second, even a millisecond of contentment. They will be there, I promise, if you intend to be aware of them.
