Inika ManoharGlimmers are mini moments of delight and comfort, these tiny sparkly moments of joy bring us a sense of comfort helping to calm our nervous systems. And they are necessary to our mental well-being. The relaxing feeling we get when we gaze into the sea or that little moment of happiness we get when a baby smiles and waves at you is what scientists call as a ‘glimmer’.
Experiencing glimmers:
Glimmers are minute but significant experiences that happen during our day-to-day activities. Glimmers vary from person to person and are personal.
Let me list out a few examples.
- A walk on the beach
- Admiring the moon
- Walking barefoot on grass
- Sipping a hot cup of coffee on a rainy day
- Hugging your loved one
- Randomly listening to your favourite song somewhere
- A small act of kindness
- Blasting your favourite playlist in the car
- Ordering in your comfort food
- Watching a good movie
- Glimmers are everywhere
When you consciously decide to focus on the small beautiful and delightful moments, we can lead a much more positive life.
