Manifesting More Joy and Happiness to Your Life
We live in a world filled with both radiant light and shadow. In our day-to-day lives, it can be easy to become entangled in the chaos, the noise, and the everyday stressors. Yet, the universal truth remains: where your focus goes, energy flows. When you begin to look at things with a “glass half full” mentality, you unlock one of the greatest secrets to attracting your dream life: that you have the power to manifest your own reality.
To help bring back that spark of happy, heartfelt joy into your life, try your hand at these five manifestation hacks below.
1/ Make A List of Things That Fill You With Joy
Think back to the last time your stomach hurt from laughing too much and aim to recapture that feeling as often as possible. Make a list of anything and everything, big or small, that brings joy to your life, whether it’s watching a favorite comedian’s stand-up, spending time with a close friend, or even just making your favorite breakfast in the morning.
Once you’ve written your list, think of ways you can incorporate the things you’ve included into your everyday routine. It might be wildly impractical to buy tickets to watch your favorite comedian every single week, but there’s nothing stopping you from listening to their routine in the car on your way to work. Similarly, you can pencil in a weekly coffee-and-catch-up date with your close friend - for the sake of practicality, you can even make it a Zoom date. Even just waking up ten minutes earlier each day so you have time to make your favorite breakfast means that you’re able to start your day with a smile on your face.
2/ Make Gratitude A Part of Your Daily Routine
Joy is one of the highest vibrational frequencies available to us. When you choose to focus on what’s going well, what you’re grateful for, and what lights up your soul, you begin to harmonize with the universal energies of abundance and love.
To help with this, take time each day to list five things that you’re grateful for. They can be anything, big or small, and much like exercising a muscle, you’ll find this gets easier and more effortless each time you do it. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at truly begin to change.
3/ Begin Your Day With Visualization
Happiness is more than just a state of mind - it’s an energetic vibration you choose to align with every single day. To help, you can start each day with a powerful visualization exercise where you imagine in your mind your life as already joyful, already fulfilled. Simply close your eyes and imagine:
Laughing with people you love
Feeling peaceful in your body and environment
Experiencing synchronicities that make your heart smile
Living a life that feels light, supported, and guided
Now breathe into that vision, and allow it to anchor into your energy field. You can take this one step further and choose a joy affirmation for that day, something like: “I AM finding the positive in everything that happens and choosing to witness all the magic the Universe has to offer me.”
4/ Embrace Your Inner Child
With their vast imaginations and ability to turn almost anything into a game, it seems that joy comes so effortlessly to children. Make a list of the activities you used to enjoy when you were a child - perhaps you liked to draw cartoon characters, create dramatic plays for your stuffed animals to act out, or get your hands dirty with any manner of creative crafts. Then, paying no attention to how “silly” or “immature” these activities may be, set aside an afternoon where you can be free to reconnect with your Inner Child and enjoy some good, old-fashioned play time.
5/ Use Feng Shui For a Home Filled With Joy
There are a number of things you can do in your home to help attract more joy into your life. In Diamond Feng Shui, the color to attract joy is peach, so add peach-colored items in the West area of your bedroom, living room, and workspace in the form of candles, artwork, and soft furnishings.
Hang crystals by your windows so that they create rainbows across your walls whenever the sun comes out. Open your windows and use carefully-placed mirrors to reflect the natural light. Make sure to have plenty of soft lighting in each room, and consider placing lamps in each of the four corners to banish any shadowy areas. Finally, avoid having too many dark colors in your living room or bedroom and instead focus on soft, cheerful hues and images.
With Love and Joy,
