Dualism: Triggers vs. Glimmers: What Are You Really Training Your Mind to Find?
We’ve all heard the word trigger thrown around like a buzzer waiting to go off. Triggers are the things that knock us off balance, ignite old wounds, or set our nervous system into high alert. Most people know their triggers—at least the obvious ones. Deadlines. Criticism. The sound of a whistle that reminds them of a coach who broke them instead of built them. The email that hits their inbox with just the right subject line to ruin their day.
What we don’t talk about enough is the other side of the equation.
Glimmers.
I came across this idea recently while I was doing research on relieving anxiety for one of my clients. It hit different—not because it was flashy, but because it was true. Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. They’re the moments that pull you back to center. The subtle, barely-noticeable cues that tell your nervous system, you’re okay here. That you’re safe, grounded, connected. The world didn’t just get perfect—but for this one breath, it didn’t need to be.
