Why it matters?
Finding awe in everyday life is about noticing the world around you. Sometimes these extraordinary moments are fleeting…but that doesn’t make them any less special or important to us.
This is where “glimmers” come in. It’s a term coined by Deb Dana in her book “The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy.” Glimmers are the opposite of triggers—small events that can have a strong effect on our wellbeing. They can make us feel joyful, calm or safe.
Dana calls these events “micro moments of goodness.” Similarly to awe, glimmers help reduce our stress levels and help us start seeing things a little differently.
This week, set a glimmer intention for yourself. Try to find one or two each day and write them down.
