Staying sparkly when you have a grinch in your life

Darling, let me tell you something: you are the STAR on top of the Christmas tree of life.

That’s right—the freakin’ main event! ✨ And what does the star do? It shines so damn bright that everyone in the room looks up and goes, “Wow, that’s gorgeous!” (Yep, they’re talking about you. Don’t argue. Just take it.)
Now, I know sometimes people (or life) try to dim your sparkle. Maybe it’s that one grumpy Grinch in your life or the chaos of trying to wrap presents with tape that sticks to everything but the damn paper. But listen here, gorgeous one: you’re untouchable. You’re made of metaphorical glitter, and we all know glitter doesn’t go away—it just spreads and ends up in all sorts of places FOR DAYS!!!
So this season, channel that sparkly, starry energy. Be unapologetically bold, dazzling, and radiant. Shine so brightly that people have to squint to look at you (and if they complain, and many will hand them sunglasses and keep sparkling , let them suck the air out of someome elses balloon) .
Remember, you’re not just part of the décor—you’re the highlight of the whole damn show. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
So how do you stay shiny when others are pulling you down or out of alignment? Here’s your sparkle survival guide:
1. Protect Your Energy Bubble
Picture yourself wrapped in a giant, glittering bubble of fabulousness. This is your personal vibe shield. When negativity tries to creep in, let it bounce right off like a rogue ornament hitting the floor (but without the mess). Set boundaries, say “no” when you need to, and remember: protecting your energy is self-care, not selfishness.
2. Keep Your Sparkle Ritual Strong
When life (or people) tries to dim your light, lean into your rituals. Whether it’s journaling, meditation, dancing to your favorite tunes, or yelling “F**K YES!” in the mirror, do what makes you feel aligned and unstoppable. These small acts of joy are like recharging your inner glitter factory.
3. Reframe and Refocus
When someone tries to dull your shine, it’s usually more about them than you. Remind yourself: their storm has nothing to do with your sunshine. Instead of getting stuck in their drama, refocus on what lights you up. Stay in alignment by shifting your thoughts to gratitude, love, or whatever makes you feel like your best self.( hint - this aint always easy but if you use all my tools youll touch base with YOU again)
4. Surround Yourself with Glittery Souls
You don’t need a crowd, just a few solid cheerleaders in your corner—those who love seeing you shine. Whether it’s a friend, a mentor, or even your favorite affirmations playlist (wink check out mine on Spotify), let their positive energy reflect your own brilliance back at you.
5. Own Your Sparkle
When you step into your power, you become unstoppable. Remind yourself daily that your light is meant to shine, not shrink. The world doesn’t need dim stars—it needs bold, beautiful, sparkly ones like you. Own that.
So here’s the deal: no matter what life throws at you, you’ve got the tools to stay aligned, radiant, and unapologetically YOU. Keep shining like the magnificent star you are, and never, ever let anyone dim that light.
Yeehaw to your sparkle season! 🎄✨
