GLIMMERS
What is a Glimmer you ask?
It's a moment of joy and safety in your day!
Our autonomic nervous system can be in overdrive with all the stimulation from our daily lives, let alone the current state of the world. Rather than being another source on the internet with lists of triggers, we’re here to provide Glimmers.
The site is a daily reminder to connect to safe, joyful, and appreciated thoughts. When we can remember a feeling of joy and safety, it is easier to return to it. Remembering Glimmers in the present moment can be a practice to help your sympathetic nervous system drop out of fight or flight mode more smoothly.
