I’ve taught them to tens of thousands of people who I’ve seen learn how to live with more joy, self-compassion, meaning, and resilience. I learned how to be happier now, in my life as it was, even when everything wasn't perfect (it never is).Īnd now I am sharing the skills and practices that changed my life with you! I learned to be more compassionate towards myself - and others - and to do more of the things that bring me a sense of purpose. I learned how to embrace my difficult emotions rather than try to run from them or fear them. I didn’t become some happy-go-lucky person overnight.īut I learned to feel the joy in the many everyday moments. I began to make these simple practices part of my daily routine. But as a mom of a young daughter, I knew I needed a change. I was resistant to try them at first because they didn’t go well with the story I had told myself about not being worthy of genuine joy.
What I discovered when I turned to scientific research is that being happier is a skill anyone can improve through simple practices that take only a few minutes. I wanted to stop dreading my days and feel better. I had convinced myself that I simply wasn’t worthy of feeling happier. I was snapping at people I loved and treating myself with harshness instead of kindness. I was exhausted and felt like I was doing something wrong. But I wasn’t enjoying any of this wonderful life I had built. I worked hard and was so proud to achieve many of my big goals, from learning to speak English without an accent, to having a great career and a family. At 13, I came to the United States as a refugee with my parents, and we began our lives on welfare and food stamps in the projects. I lived according to the mantra, “I’ll be happy when….” And I did achieve a lot. I believed only THEN I would get permission to feel good. You see, for the previous two decades, I had thought the key to happiness was achieving a lot, becoming really successful, caring for my loved ones, and making everything in my life perfect, including myself. I felt unfulfilled in my life, disconnected from my family, including my husband and daughter, and overwhelmed with massive self-doubt. Just a few years ago, I was completely exhausted and burned out.
