Glimmers are micro moments of joy, they spark a sense of connection, safety, maybe contentment.
There are moments that all to often get squeezed out by our busy lives. We're juggling so many things, planning so many things and have been trained to achieve, that so often we miss the moments of meaning and enrichment in life.
The ironic thing is, that when we make the space to see the 'glimmers' not only does life become more fulfilling, it feels more spacious too. Well, that's my experience.
Glimmers, are just that, a micro-moment of joy, of connection to the wonders of the world in just that moment: The taste of that first cup of tea; noticing the colours in the sky; the smell of freshly baked bread; a smile shared with a stranger.
Our brains are wired to have a negativity bias, so it can be easier to see that micro moments that p**s us off, that anger us that make us sad or powerless. But then our life becomes made up of a tapestry of annoyance and negativity which isn't fun.
Glimmers take a moment, but can brighten up your life.
We need to move away from the idea that joy can only be found in the big things, the groundbreaking things, when most often it's the tiny things that all too often get missed in the business to life.
I'd love to hear your "glimmers" from this week. So please comment below and together we can demystify joy! ✨️✨️✨️
Yey!
