Do You Have a Glimmer Block? Part 2

Today's Heartlift with Janell

"As we delve into the realm of positive psychology, we uncover a wealth of evidence supporting the notion that focusing on positive moments contributes significantly to our overall well-being. Psychologically, this emphasis on positivity is linked to the broaden-and-build theory proposed by Barbara Fredrickson. According to this theory, positive emotions broaden our awareness and encourage novel and creative thinking, ultimately building resources that contribute to resilience and long-term flourishing."
-Heather Alfonso, Glimmers: Cultivating Joy in Everyday Moments
How is your glimmer hunting going? Season 14 invited us to look for glimmers of grace this holiday season. It is important to remember that glimmers are micro-moments of joy: unexpected delight and surprising visitations of beauty. But, as we are learning, there can be blocks to our awareness of glimmers: cognitive distortions. In today's episode, we talk about:

1. All-or-nothing thinking (often called Black-and-White thinking)
2. Jumping to Conclusions (often called Mind Reading or Fortune Telling)
3. Disqualifying the Positive
4. Labeling

This week's podcast prompt: The Stinkin' thinkin' of LABELING often is placed or projected on us by others, even loved ones. After listening to the beautiful meditation on releasing the labels, what glimmers show up?
