Glimmers

A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger.

Where a trigger activates your stress response — tightening, guarding, bracing —
a glimmer is a tiny moment that activates your nervous system’s sense of safety and joy.

It’s that subtle spark when you feel warmth in your chest watching sunlight filter through leaves.
The soft relief of a deep breath after tension.
The laugh that catches you by surprise.
A scent that reminds you you’re home.

Glimmers are micro-moments of regulation — signs that your body remembers peace is possible.
When you start noticing them intentionally, you train your system to seek balance instead of reactivity.

In short:
✨ Triggers contract; glimmers expand.
They’re your nervous system’s way of whispering, “Right now, you’re safe.”

This week, let’s bring back quiet mornings — a soft landing strip for the day. Even ten minutes of stillness can set the tone for living from equanimity, giving space for whatever may come.

Try weaving in micro-breaks for deep breaths throughout your day — tiny pauses that calm the nervous system, lower cortisol, and widen your view on whatever’s unfolding. Schedule them – set an alarm – attach them to a task that you carry out frequently.

Remember: it’s OK to ask for help — from Jason, or anyone who can hold space when things feel dense.

And let art be your release valve. Cathartic art — let it all spill out. It’s not about results, but about seeing your world — the chocolate factory, where you are in life and where you want to go — from a new angle.

On a subtler note, explore surrender. Ask yourself gently: Can I be with this?
With the factory, with Lottie, with the stress… practice acceptance, releasing the need to control.

These are baby steps — the ego might resist, but that’s part of the dance. Let’s just see how far you can go right now. The kitchari cleanse will help soften what needs to loosen — the patterns that keep you from feeling free in this very moment.
