"Glimmers" are small, positive moments that make you feel happy, safe, or connected. They’re the opposite of "triggers," which can cause stress. Glimmers can be as simple as a smile from a stranger, birds singing, or a quiet, peaceful moment. These little things help shift your focus to something good and comforting. The idea is often used in mental health to help people notice and appreciate these positive moments in their daily lives.
Some examples of glimmers to look for in everyday life:
• A warm breeze on your face during a walk.
• Hearing your favorite song unexpectedly.
• A stranger smiling at you or holding the door.
• The scent of fresh flowers or morning coffee.
• Sunlight streaming through the trees.
• The sound of birds chirping in the morning.
• The comfort of a cozy blanket on a chilly day.
• The first sip of your favorite drink.
• Seeing a colorful sunset or sunrise.
