From The Truth Hurts (HaEmet Ko’evet): How to Be Happy? By Gili Man Wolner, Emotional Healer
How can you be happy? Start by recognizing that your happiness is in your hands. No one else can do it for you.
Take responsibility for your life and your feelings, and pay attention to the story you keep telling yourself. What is that story? Question it. Change the story, and use more positive language when you talk to yourself.

What this episode explores
We each write the script of our own lives. Picture a cheerleading squad in your head, cheering you on.
Enjoy the journey, not just the destination. Don’t postpone happiness until you reach a particular goal. Be present now.
Good things take time, and we need patience and faith (emunah) to see deliverance and the full process. Hold on to that faith even during a crisis, trusting that deliverance will come.
Part of happiness is releasing anger and forgiving others so that we can receive forgiveness and love in return. Positive thoughts matter, too. By changing our thoughts, we can change our feelings and our reality.
The episode ends with a practical exercise: make a list of the actions and situations that made you happy in the past. Then use what you learn to bring that happiness back into your life now.
