Glimmers

Glimmers

Negative news seems to be increasing every year in an accelerating algorithm loop which rewards media and advertisers with more eyeballs ?? because of the dopamine hits that fear provides.


Sadly, this negativity-loop phenomenon, which is only going to get worse with AI, is shaping the reality that affects us all.


?? What things are you doing personally to counter this negativity?


I invite you to spend more time noticing the 'glimmers' - little sparks of joy - that dance in your life on a daily basis, if you actively notice, because what you focus on expands:


the brilliant red of a Cardinal perched on a tree


crisp leaves rustling in the wind


taste of cinnamon and cardamom on your tongue as you enjoy your chai


the scent of a newly opened book and the feel of the page...


Engage all your senses. What glimmers have you noticed today? Write them down.


The nature of reality is this: the more things you are grateful for, the more things the universe will provide for you to be grateful for, and the more things you complain about, the more things the universe will provide for you to complain about.
