"Joy, No Matter What" - Make 3 Simple Choices to Access Your Inner Joy by Carolyn Hobbs
"Over the years, I saw that our own beliefs, fears, and habitual reactions to life limit our joy much more than any spouse, boss, or devastating life experience.
I started teaching my clients to carry two questions with them in their daily lives:
?Am I feeling joy now?
If not, how am I holding my joy away?'
I walked into each therapy session and workshop with the goal of helping people reconnect with the essential joy in their core.
Over time, my three-step approach evolved:
1) say yes to what is; 2) witness your thoughts, feelings, and reactions; and 3) respond differently, with kindness and compassion.
By seeing our old habits clearly and by taking full responsibility for how we respond, we become able to hold all of life's gifts in joy."???????????????~ Carolyn Hobbs"Joy, No Matter What" (Conari Press, March 2005) shows that joy is not something "out there," only available to a select few born with emotional silver spoons in their mouths.
We all have joy at our core, and no mater what is going on in our lives, we can uncover our innate joy and bring it into the light of our everyday lives.
Carolyn Hobbs has worked with thousands of people in individual and couples' therapy, workshops, and graduate courses.
She has helped people to face depression and anxiety, handle chronic pain and life-threatening diseases, overcome addictions, cope with life transformations ? and still find their joy in the midst of whatever life throws their way.Hobbs offers brief essays on everyday situations and habits we all fall into ? mind, fear, feeling, and belief habits ? with information on what they truly are, and exercises that help us to change them."Joy, No Matter What" helps you to be the joy you want to see in the world.Carolyn Hobbs is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and a member of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology and the Association for Humanistic Psychology.

Combating Writer's Depression
Depression is something every writer I've known faces. When you sit at your desk staring at the blank page you think of a million things, hardly any of which belong to the story your're trying to write. Did I pay the gas bill? Will they shut me off today? Was my daughter's recital this Friday or next? Did I forget to feed the dogs? Soon, these thoughts turn into: What am I doing at this desk? I'll never make it as a writer. God! Two rejections in one week! This must be hell because nothing can be as bad as this. Why do we write? Why do we sit down for hours all alone, just thinking and imagining? Most writers just want to be heard.
We are observant, intelligent, and gifted people who want our voices, our words on the page. To be read, remembered, recognized, but mostly we love the written word. We love to read. As a kid, I read anything and everything. From Tolkien to H.P.
Lovecraft, and back again. I devoured books like the air I breathed.We had contests at our local library...

The economic cost for this disorder is US $40 billion per year, but the cost in human suffering cannot be estimated. Depressive illnesses often interfere with normal functioning and cause pain and suffering not only to those who have a disorder, but also to those who care about them. Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the ill person. But much of this suffering is unnecessary.
