Choosing joy and calm, even amidst adversity like grief or complex post-traumatic stress (C-PTSD), can transform mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This conscious choice triggers dopamine and serotonin release, enhancing mood, focus, and resilience while reducing stress hormones like cortisol.

The author’s experience of redirecting despair into creating a children’s book, Sun Play, illustrates how joy can ripple outward, uplifting others and fostering resilience. For those with C-PTSD, choosing joy gently nurtures regeneration and connection.
