This marks the third installment of our discussion, and for those who missed the previous episodes, I highly encourage listening to them for foundational insights that set the stage for our current exploration. We kick off the episode by discussing the simplicity yet profound impact of the glimmer practice. Deb outlines a straightforward three-step approach: See, Stop, Appreciate. The 'See' encourages us to recognize a glimmer moment in our lives, which could be as simple as witnessing a beautiful rainbow or noticing the soothing sound of birds. I share my own recent experience with a glimmer, highlighting how these moments resonate deeply within our bodies and minds, igniting feelings of joy and wonder. The next step, 'Stop,' prompts us to pause and acknowledge these glimmers instead of passing by; we often forget to appreciate the beauty around us. Deb emphasizes the importance of letting these glimmer moments fill us for just a few seconds, enriching our daily experiences. Following this appreciation, we delve into the 'Appreciate' stage, which encourages marking these moments in various ways, such as journaling or sharing them with a 'glimmer buddy.' This sharing cultivates connections with others, reinforcing the joy and beauty found in these little sparks of life. #Anxiety #NervousSystemRegulation #PolyvagalTheory #Glimmers #Mindfulness #SelfCare #MentalHealth #Resilience #Wellbeing #Connection #Community #DebDana #Journaling #EmbodiedExperience #StressManagement #EmotionalRegulation #Gratitude #Meditation #GlimmerPractice #ACP #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
