“Glimmers” are the opposite of  “triggers” – they’re transient, micro-moments we encounter throughout our day which evoke feelings of happiness, gratitude, calm, peace, safety, connection or similarly positive emotions.

Research has shown that glimmers help balance our autonomic nervous system, reducing the impact of stress and promoting resilience and that journaling about glimmers, particularly at night, can help train our brains to focus on the positive, enhancing our overall well-being.

Because glimmers are so fleeting, many of us move through our day without recognizing them – much less acknowledging and reflecting on them. As a result, we don’t fully  realize the benefits of these brief uplifting moments. 

With the Daily Glimmers Journal, you’ll be prompted to develop a habit of recognizing  your glimmers, writing them down, noting the emotion they evoked, and tracking their impact on your daily mood. You’ll also have space to journal in a free-form way, permitting you to expand on the highlights of your day; the people, places or things which inspired your daily glimmers; and simply reflect or express gratitude for the glimmers you encountered throughout the day.

The Daily Glimmers Journal will help train your brain to notice the positive, helping you focus attention on what’s good in your life (gratitude). Seeking glimmers will improve mindfulness as finding our daily glimmers requires that we be present and attentive to our experiences and emotions (mindfulness). Finally, as those who practice manifestation are aware, one must maintain a positive mindset to align with one’s desires. Noticing, appreciating, and reflecting on/writing about glimmers will assist in achieving that aligned energetic vibration.

As with forming any new habit, greater consistency brings greater progress; however, the Daily Glimmers Journal features undated pages, allowing you to enter each date.

 Absolutely not. Glimmers are largely unique to the individual and can encompass something as simple as savoring that first sip of coffee in the morning, getting a hug from a friend, hearing an old favorite song on the radio, having someone pick up your tab at the drive-thru, or seeing a rainbow. 

Absolutely! The Daily Glimmers Journal makes a thoughtful gift for anyone seeking to enhance gratitude, improve mindfulness or raise their vibration.
