Glimmerthursday

For us glimmer seekers, Thursday gives us an opportunity to share some glimmers with each other.
Since I invite you to share a glimmer with us in the comments.
I'll get us started with the sharing.
Your glimmer doesn't have to be something "big" or monumental.
A glimmer is often found in a micro-moment.
It doesn't even have to make sense for others, as long as it makes sense for you and calms your nervous system.
Ps: if you don't know what a glimmer is, you can look here What is a Glimmer?

You may know by know that Glimmers are the opposite of triggers.
Meaning they spark positive feelings and calm your nervous system.
They can be small micro-moments were you feel joy, coziness, safety, gratitude, warmt, peace, relaxation or any other positive, calming emotion.
They have true power and they can benefit your mental health and nervous system.
Today I invite you to reflect on a glimmer you've experienced.
And to share with us in the comments to spread glimmers and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.

I'm grateful for the glimmers before the week is out.
It's been hard for me to notice glimmers this week.

I’m doing well psychologically, but I wish my body were in good shape too. Just a little more time—I believe I’ll get better and pull myself together.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t go out much, but today I took a short walk with my father. I have some issues with my lungs, but breathing in the scent of pine trees on a slightly rainy day felt refreshing.

One morning, I made pizza for breakfast—a healthy pizza! 🫠

Another day, my mom baked her amazing bread. I’m so grateful for the presence of my family. My mom has been my rock during this period of illness.

And here’s our floor dining setup. We Turks sometimes eat on the floor. Have you ever seen something like this before?

I also knitted a Turkish bath cloth (bath sponge) for myself. Do you use such things?

Finally! I had been wanting to read a book for weeks but kept postponing it. Today, I managed to read, and I’m grateful for that.

And what about you? How are you? Is life going the way you hoped it would?
Are you embracing the beauties you can hold on to?

Do you want to join me in reflecting on some glimmers from your life?
You're more than welcome to share with us in the comments to spread glimmers and inspire others.
As always; I'll get us started with the sharing.
Especially since I've been even more appreciative for my glimmers because I've been down.
They have been farther apart - but they are still there.
And that comforts me.

I have really been clinging to glimmers this week.
I've been so very triggered by a situation with my dad.
And it has sent me into emotional and mental turmoil.
So I've been even more in need of glimmers.
And I've been so very thankful for when some came my way.
I've even create some for myself.
That's a good thing about glimmers: some of them simply come your way and others you can create for yourself.
Do you want to take a moment with me and reflect on a glimmer from your week?

In our little group here, I would like to host Grati-tuesday and Glimmer Thursday.
To help us - especially myself since I so easily forget - to take a moment and reflect on some gratitude and glimmers.
To feel them, however fleeting, in our hearts.
I have found that when I am able to notice and feel glimmers it does better my over-all feeling of well-being.
Oftentimes #anhedonia makes it so very challenging to feel anything good or positive at all.
But I still try to notice the glimmers because I know it does me good.
Would you like to take a moment and reflect on a glimmer today?

It's glimmer time!
I invite you to reflect on a glimmer, you've experienced this week.
And share with us in the comments to spread glimmers and gratitude.
I know just what I'm going to share today.
It was a tiny moment.
Ever so fleeting.
But I could feel it speak peace to my wired nerves.
And that's a thing glimmers can do: signal safety and peace - so clearly being the opposite of a trigger.
