Mindset Monday: Glimmers Are Your High-Performance Secret

Sometimes it's fun to lose control. Even in little ways. The joy is still real.

Like today, when I decided not to round-brush my curls into sedate submission, but instead let them be their natural, uncontrolled riot. It gave me a glimmer, and I’m savoring it.

Here’s the secret I’m sharing with you this Mindset Monday: This wasn’t just an indulgence. It’s high-performance neuroscience.

Training your brain to focus on glimmers—small moments of joy, connection, or calm—can significantly impact your mental health and performance. It has enormous power to boost resilience, focus, and well-being.

Here’s why incorporating glimmers into your daily routine is key for high performance:

🧠 (1) Rewire your brain: Focusing on glimmers creates and strengthens neural pathways for positivity and resilience, enhancing neuroplasticity.

🌿 (2) Activate calm: Focusing on glimmers reduces stress, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and promotes well-being.

⚖️ (3) Shift your focus: Actively seek out positive moments to counter your brain's natural negativity bias.

💥 (4) Boost motivation: Recognizing glimmers releases dopamine, enhancing focus, drive, and performance.

💪 (5) Build resilience: Gratitude for small moments helps buffer against burnout and fosters emotional regulation.
