Glimmers: A Practice for Capturing Daily Moments of Joy

By Chronicle Books

A fresh take on the gratitude journal that helps you cultivate joy every day by noticing and celebrating "glimmers"--small daily highlights that brighten your life.

So often, we're accustomed to looking for joy only in momentous life events, like promotions, graduations, weddings, or significant birthdays. But if these milestones are the only joyous occasions we're paying attention to, thousands of joy-encouraging "micro-moments" can go unnoticed. Glimmers are those small moments that spark joy and comfort throughout a busy day, and this lightly guided journal is the perfect vehicle for learning to recognize them by recording and reflecting on their meaning.

Complete with an introduction describing glimmers and why they're important, and a debrief on how to use the journal, Glimmers has everything you need to start a daily practice. Through a simple repeating prompt to "list five glimmers from your day" and five areas on each page to reflect, glimmer journaling is akin to gratitude journaling. Instead of focusing on what you're grateful for, however, you focus on unexpected things that bring you joy.

With a stunning shimmery foil cover and inviting space to write, this luxe journal is the perfect way to uncover your own glimmers and incorporate them into a mindfulness or self-care practice that works for you.

DAILY JOURNAL FOR CULTIVATING JOY: Glimmers are deeply personal and differ from person to person. For some, a glimmer might be a well-played crossword puzzle at breakfast; for others, it's an after-walk work during sunset. This daily journal's easy-to-follow prompts help us recognize the positives in every day.

DELUXE DESIGN: Glimmering foil across the front and back covers and a sparkly ribbon marker make this volume perfect for gifting or self-purchasing to honor a birthday, anniversary, holiday, mental health or physical recovery, or any moment that calls for a consistent focus on joy.

HABIT BUILDING PROCESS: This inspirational journal is a wonderful addition to the personal toolkit of anyone who enjoys such resources as Calm the Chaos Journal or The 5-Minute Gratitude Journal.

Perfect for: Gratitude journalers looking for a new angle Mindfulness/meditation practitioners Self-care purchase for stress management or setting daily intentions Gift giving for birthday, graduation, New Year, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or any special occasion Fans of such popular interactive journals as Calm the Chaos, Awestruck: 52 Experiments to Find Wonder, Joy, and Meaning in Everyday Life, and Write It Down, Let It Go
