I recently came across several Tik Toks talking about glimmers. I had no idea what they were talking about at first, and you might currently have no idea what I’m talking about. So what are glimmers?

What are glimmers?
Glimmers is a recent word that came about in the mental health community. So what are glimmers? Many people describe them as the opposite of triggers. Triggers are something that are associated with a negative emotional experience, while glimmers are associated with a positive emotional experience.
Have you ever noticed a glimmer? It’s a brief flash of joy that comes from something seemingly small. For example, when I’m cooking dinner and my husband walks in the door with flowers he bought for me at the store, that’s a glimmer! Or when you go outside and the sun shines on your face and you get a warm fuzzy feeling.
Glimmers show up all around us every day–in relationships with our family members and friends; in nature (when we see an animal); during work activities; even when we’re alone doing nothing special at all!
Why should we care about glimmers?
Glimmers are a way to find joy in the small things. They can help us focus on what is good in our lives, feel more connected to others, and feel more connected to nature.
Finding joy in the little things makes it easier for us to be happy overall
When we focus on what’s good about our lives instead of dwelling on all the bad things that happened yesterday or will happen tomorrow, we’re setting ourselves up for greater happiness down the road.
How do we find glimmers in our lives?
How do we find glimmers in our daily lives?
One of the best ways to experience glimmers and improve your mental health is to practice mindfulness. Sometimes it can be difficult to find happiness in life when we’re so busy thinking about everything we have to do in the future while also stressing about things in the past.
It’s easier to find little moments of happiness when we’re present and just enjoying moment by moment.
Another way to find glimmers is to look for the positive. Sometimes we get caught up only see the negative in life. We need to learn to be grateful for the small things!
We also need to find things that make us happy. It could be spending some time out in the sun, watching your favorite movie, or doing a hobby. You could also try things like listening to your favorite music!
A glimmer is any little thing that makes you feel happy or at peace.
You can find joy in the little things, and it’s worth it.
The word “glimmer” may not be one you use often, but it’s an important one. A glimmer is a moment of joy, something that makes us feel good and helps us appreciate life. Glimmers are not always big things–they can also be small, like walking barefoot through the grass or getting a hug from someone who loves you. But they all add up to create meaning in our lives and make them worth living!
Glimmers are important because they make us feel happy when we’re having bad days, which helps us get through them better than if we didn’t have any glimmers at all. They remind us that there is beauty in everything around us; even if things aren’t going great right now (like when your favorite TV show gets canceled), there will always be moments where things seem better than before (like when another show comes out).
Conclusion
I hope that you’ve found some inspiration in this post, and that you feel ready to start looking for glimmers in your own life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the size of your goals or the darkness of the world, remember that there are small moments of joy and beauty all around us. Take time today to appreciate one of them–and let me know how it goes!
