The Enormous Power of Glimmers to Calm Your Anxious Mind https://wp.me/p5dH2p-9xN

Glimmers are some kind of internal or external cues—small, positive moments or experiences—that spark feelings of joy, safety, or peace for you. These pleasant instances can ease and relax your nervous system with a feeling of contentment or a sense that everything is OK, even if just for minutes.

It’s the opposite of a trigger, which activates your nervous system and heightens anxiety or negative emotions.

A glimmer can be anything from feeling the sunshine warming your face to cuddling with a furry friend to smelling the aroma of coffee brewing. It’s whatever evokes a good feeling for you.

It almost seems too simple. But it’s true and scientifically proven.

Noticing little positive moments could be one way to help calm and regulate your anxious, overwhelmed nervous system.
