Harnessing Glimmers: Embracing Life’s Little Drops of Light

Have you ever had one of those fleeting moments of pure joy? A tiny spark of happiness that feels almost insignificant but somehow lifts your whole mood? Maybe it’s stepping outside after a week of grey skies to be greeted by warm sunshine, or sitting at your desk and realising, I actually love my job.

These moments, often called glimmers, are the complete opposite of triggers. They’re those little drops of light that bring comfort, peace, or excitement. And in a world that often moves too fast, where self-doubt and imposter syndrome can creep in, these glimmers are worth holding onto for as long as possible.

Instead of letting them pass unnoticed, what if we intentionally harnessed them? What if we allowed ourselves to soak up those feel-good endorphins, using them as fuel for self-reflection and motivation?

When we feel at ease, when we feel proud, when we feel enough, those are the best times to take stock of just how far we’ve come. To acknowledge our wins, however small. To set realistic goals, knowing exactly what we’re capable of achieving.

We can be so hard on ourselves, always pushing for the next thing, always striving. But in these little moments of light, there’s an opportunity. A chance to pause, to appreciate, to remind ourselves that we’re doing just fine.

So next time you feel that rush of quiet happiness, whether it’s from a kind word, a beautiful sunrise, or a job well done, don’t brush it off. Hold onto it. Let it carry you forward.
