That was a glimmer. Notice the way the light slanted in through the window? That was a glimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlimmers are easy to miss as they’re so brief and fleeting, but they can help your mood shift, and lift. Finding them – uncovering them on the commute, or while doing the same-old daily routine – is an art and a skill. Looking for glimmers is a recognized mental health practice to enable you to deal with the darkest days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, 12 thematic chapters each hold 30 or 31 beautiful glimmers plus two aligned alternatives, amounting to one entry for every day of the year – and more than 1,000 glimmers. Learn to notice micro-moments of joy such as putting on a pair of new socks, stroking a purring cat, popping a cork, walking up a hill and looking back at how far you’ve come, finishing a jar, watching a rainbow brighten, sinking your hands into earth, being told “no rush”, reviving a dying fire, and hundreds more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith beautiful line-drawn illustrations, exercises to help you uncover more joy, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridget McNulty began her career as a magazine journalist following a summa cum laude degree in creative writing, and has since written the novel \u003ci\u003eStrange Nervous Laughter\u003c\/i\u003e (2008) as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Grief Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e (Watkins, 2021) and the popular Substack newsletter Daily Glimmers.
