Daily Glimmers

This self-help book gives you the tools to find three-second glimmers of joy every day. Did you taste something delicious? That was a glimmer. Notice the way the light slanted in through the window? That was a glimmer. Looking for glimmers is a recognised mental health practice to enable you to shift and lift your mood. They are brief and fleeting, and finding them is an art and a skill. In Daily Glimmers, 12 thematic chapters each holds about 30 beautiful glimmers, amounting to one entry for every day of the year. Learn to notice micro-moments of joy, such as putting on a pair of new socks, stroking a purring cat, popping a cork, finishing a jar, watching a rainbow brighten, sinking your hands into earth, being told ‘no rush’, reviving a dying fire, and hundreds more. With beautiful line-drawn illustrations, helpful exercises, and reflections on the history and effects of glimmers, this fun, fresh book is small enough to pop in your bag – but big enough to expand your life.
