Too often, we strive to be serious, to not make waves, to be like everyone else. But when do we actually feel joy and happiness in our daily lives? That’s why it’s high time we gave ourselves the right to transform the way we live! Here are our top tips for putting some glitter in your life.

1 – Stop being afraid of other people’s opinions

One of the things that most prevents us from putting glitter in our lives is the gaze of others.

We’ve always been taught to seek the approval of others, and unfortunately, we’re wrong.

Because what makes you happy, what makes you dream, what makes you vibrate with joy, is not necessarily what makes your neighbor happy.

So, how can you bear the weight of this gaze upon you?

It’s time to give ourselves the right to be different from others. After all, we have the right to like certain things that others don’t. And there’s no need to justify it.

And, there’s no need to justify ourselves, no need to boast, no need to defend ourselves and even less need to hide.

Remember that you’re not here on Earth to do things right, you’re here to be you and experience what makes you happy.

Give yourself that right now.

To put some glitter in your life, forget the gaze of others and follow your own joy!

2 – Practice gratitude to put glitter in your life

We’ve learned to hide our joy and happiness. Either because we believe it’s bad luck (following the adage: let’s live happily, let’s live hidden), or because we’re afraid of embarrassing others.

After all, we shouldn’t throw our happiness in people’s faces.

So what do we do? We ramble on about our problems. And the more we ramble, the more we see them.

Putting glitter in your life means allowing joie de vivre to take root in your daily life. And, it’s going to require us to stop seeing only our problems.

That’s why it’s high time to see how lucky we are. Some days will be better than others, some periods too.

See the good in every day. And, you’ll see that even if you don’t have all the glitter you want in your life, you already have some.

What’s more, gratitude has great power. Indeed, the more grateful we feel for what we have, the happier we are and the more we attract to ourselves things that will make us grateful.

So, how do we put glitter in our lives? By focusing on the beautiful things in our lives.

3 – Have a passion

Putting glitter in your life means allowing yourself to do things you love.

Today, we talk a lot about our passion, and indeed, we tend to take it far too seriously.

But having a passion is simply doing something you love. Nothing more, nothing less. In fact, we have the right not to want to perform, not to be the best, and even not to continue.

After all, a passion belongs to you and looks like you at a given moment, just as it can follow you for the rest of your life.

It can even become a job, a vocation or remain very personal to you.

In fact, the most important thing about having a passion is the joy it brings you.

All too often, on a day-to-day basis, we fill our days with serious things to do. We’re not here to have fun, some say.

This is completely false!

In fact, we’re here to do things that make us happy. Of course, our daily lives have their constraints, but that’s not all!

So, how can we add a little glitter to our lives? By allowing ourselves to have passions.

I recommend this inspiring book on the subject:

You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay.

Reading this book is like taking my mind on vacation!
It teaches me how to get in touch with myself.
How to feel better about myself. That I’m acceptable to myself and to the world.
How to think positive thoughts all the time and let things fall into place.
That I’m good enough, that I need to forgive the past with love, then just leave it and move on.
How to bring joy into your life, wherever you are.
Louise Hay knows this, because her life has been difficult, but she has picked herself up and moved on.
The way the book is presented is very comforting.

Thank you very much for reading this article.
