Have you ever heard of the therapeutic concept of “glimmers?” Glimmers are small moments that catch your eye and make you feel joy or peace. Maybe you’re walking down the street and notice the colors of the sunset, or you pour yourself a cup of coffee and Taking note of glimmers is a way to help cultivate gratitude and positivity in life, especially if you’re struggling.
It’s been a difficult few months, topped off with an awful past week. Illness, disability, fear, restraint. It all piles up and begins to weigh me down.
You know what I’m grateful for in this time? My hair. My vibrant favorite color pink hair that inspires me creatively, motivates me to get dressed, that I catch in the corner of my eye throughout the day and it makes me smile.
My pink hair is my glimmer.
Its made me realize, my entire style is made up of glimmers. Small moments that catch my eye and make me happy. A shimmering pin, a pleasing pattern combination, a silly cat somewhere in my look. It all makes me happy.
So here’s my suggestion to you today, find little things that bring you joy that you can add to your outfits. A scarf someone you love made, a ring that creates rainbows when it hits the sun, it could be anything. It doesn’t need to be a perfect match, or make sense, it’s just there to make you happy. Let the glimmers ground you, and teach you a deeper lesson.
