You may be familiar with the term "triggers," but have you heard of "glimmers"? Coined by experts in nervous system regulation, glimmers are the polar opposite of triggers. They are tiny moments of awe, micro-moments of safety, or brief flashes of joy that signal to our brains that the world is okay. A glimmer isn’t a life-changing event; it is the way the morning sun hits a steaming cup of tea, a nod of recognition from a neighbour, or the sound of birdsong in the garden. Finding positivity isn't about ignoring the news; it’s about intentionally balancing the scales by training your brain to notice these glimmers. When we prioritise these small joys, our overall outlook begins to shift.
