Glimmer - The Opposite of Trigger
from Awkward Talks
As humans, we are hardwired in a way to be attentive to triggers, more so those that signal potential threats or dangers. This evolutionary trait has helped our ancestors survive in a world filled with risks. However, in our modern lives, where many of us are fortunate to live in relatively safe and stable environments, it is essential to shift our focus towards looking for glimmers rather than fixating solely on triggers. It's a shift in perspective that allows us to appreciate the richness of our experiences and the beauty that surrounds us, even in the midst of life's challenges.
