  Carmen Lezeth: Hey everyone, welcome to All About the Joy.
• 0:03
  Carmen Lezeth: This is Carmen Talk, and I'm Carmen Lisette, your host.
• 0:06
  Carmen Lezeth: Here's a question I want to ask you.
• 0:09
  Carmen Lezeth: If there was one thing that you could share with the world that you think would make the world a better place, what would it be?
• 0:18
  Carmen Lezeth: Right.
• 0:19
  Carmen Lezeth: It's a tough question, but it's something that was asked of me recently, and I immediately answered that it would be teaching people the difference between happiness and joy and why it matters.
• 0:34
  Carmen Lezeth: And it's so weird because I figured this out a long time ago for a lot of different reasons, but I'm very analytical.
• 0:45
  Carmen Lezeth: So I always overly analyze everything, and I don't know where that comes from.
• 0:50
  Carmen Lezeth: But do you remember that song, Joy and Pain and Sunshine and Rain?
• 0:59
  Carmen Lezeth: Remember that song?
• 1:00
  Carmen Lezeth: Um, and I always used to sing the other verse of that, which is actually not part of the song, but I think I heard it in church somewhere.
• 1:08
  Carmen Lezeth: Um, but I used to always say, Joy and pain and sunshine and rain, sing it, all God's children, joy, which actually is not part of the song, but you know, our memory, our memory does this amazing thing.
• 1:25
  Carmen Lezeth: But that song, I remember being like, I don't know, do I believe that?
• 1:30
  Carmen Lezeth: Do I think, you know, pain and rain, like I love the rain, you know?
• 1:35
  Carmen Lezeth: And I remember just overly analyzing and then thinking about joy really deeply.
• 1:40
  Carmen Lezeth: I've never really shared this, but there's a story in my first book, Canela, which is a story about my mom taking me on a trip on a bus to all these different towns because she was surprising me with the one thing I ever wanted at that time as a little kid.
• 2:00
  Carmen Lezeth: Um, I was put in the local church band, which is we would march in parades.
• 2:07
  Carmen Lezeth: And I remember when I was real little, I used to hold the banner at the front of the parade.
• 2:12
  Carmen Lezeth: And everybody, all of the older kids, all of the older people that were marching, all had quote unquote marching boots.
• 2:20
  Carmen Lezeth: But marching boots, especially in the color guard, which are the people who carry the flags and rifles and sabers, and they do more of the choreographed part of the parade.
• 2:30
  Carmen Lezeth: You usually see them at the beginning.
• 2:31
  Carmen Lezeth: Um, all of them had real boots for marching.
• 2:36
  Carmen Lezeth: And at the time I didn't know what they were, but they're they are horseback riding boots.
• 2:41
  Carmen Lezeth: And at least back then, that's what we were wearing.
• 2:45
  Carmen Lezeth: And I couldn't afford them and I didn't have them.
• 2:48
  Carmen Lezeth: And so what they would do, because I I wasn't the only kid, this was kind of a you know, middle class, poor neighborhood.
• 2:55
  Carmen Lezeth: It wasn't like I was the only one, but you'd wear sneakers, and then the parents would put like these kind of pleather uh canvas things on your on your calves.
• 3:08
  Carmen Lezeth: Um I'm sitting here showing you my calves as if you can see me doing this, but um, and there would be like this string that would go underneath your foot in your sneakers, and so it would kind of mimic looking like you were wearing a boot, but you were not, right?
• 3:25
  Carmen Lezeth: You were wearing sneakers and a black pleather thing, a majiggy or whatever.
• 3:28
  Carmen Lezeth: And sometimes we were white.
• 3:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I think when we were younger we wore white.
• 3:32
  Carmen Lezeth: But this story is when we were wearing the black ones, and I I was really kind of um, I was so, you know, I I always knew we were poor.
• 3:40
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know when I knew I was poor, but I always understood that there were just some things I was never gonna have.
• 3:46
  Carmen Lezeth: And so one day my mom woke me up and um, you know, told me to get dressed or whatever, and we went on all of these different bus rides.
• 3:56
  Carmen Lezeth: Um, and we finally got to our destination, and it was a store where it was just all cowboy boots and all of these boots.
• 4:04
  Carmen Lezeth: And I knew in that moment what was going to happen, I was finally gonna get my horseback riding boots.
• 4:12
  Carmen Lezeth: And there's more to the story in the book about this, but she got me the boots, but we couldn't afford to get them cut.
• 4:19
  Carmen Lezeth: So when this again, this is back then, okay?
• 4:22
  Carmen Lezeth: When you buy horseback riding boots back then, you needed to get them cut because they might have been too long.
• 4:28
  Carmen Lezeth: They hit the back of my knee.
• 4:31
  Carmen Lezeth: Um, but we couldn't afford to get them cut, but I wanted to wear them for the next parade or whatever it was.
• 4:35
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember the back of my knees bleeding because they were cutting into the back of my knees, but I didn't care because I loved them.
• 4:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I was I I don't know.
• 4:48
  Carmen Lezeth: I know everyone has had this experience of wanting something so bad, like maybe at Christmas when you would write to Santa and then you got it.
• 4:55
  Carmen Lezeth: Like I just remembered this moment in time that was um it's still one of my favorite moments when I think about my mom.
• 5:04
  Carmen Lezeth: And I was in the parade and I remember the, you know, I could feel the blood, you know, dripping, not horribly, but on especially I remember it was on my left knee, you know, it was on the back.
• 5:16
  Carmen Lezeth: And the other part that I remember that gives me so much joy is when I remember one of the parents, uh, Mrs.
• 5:24
  Carmen Lezeth: Wall and Mr.
• 5:25
  Carmen Lezeth: Wall, but Mr.
• 5:26
  Carmen Lezeth: Wall took the boots off of me and and then Mrs.
• 5:29
  Carmen Lezeth: Wall was wrapping my leg and cleaning it up or whatever, and they they they ended up getting the boots cut for me, um, so that I could wear them all the time.
• 5:40
  Carmen Lezeth: And I just the reason why I I bring this up is because when you can recall these moments, that's joy, that's that little part of joy that you can always go back and revisit, right?
• 5:58
  Carmen Lezeth: The happiness part was getting the boots, right?
• 6:02
  Carmen Lezeth: It was an external thing that happened.
• 6:05
  Carmen Lezeth: And and that's what I want to try to explain.
• 6:08
  Carmen Lezeth: I always say it on the show, you know, happiness is what happens to you.
• 6:12
  Carmen Lezeth: I use the example all the time.
• 6:14
  Carmen Lezeth: Like if you get a bonus at work that you weren't expecting, you're gonna feel happy, right?
• 6:20
  Carmen Lezeth: If uh you eat a piece of chocolate cake, if that's your jam, you know, it makes you feel happy initially, you know, and and and then of course we dread it because we know the calories or whatever.
• 6:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know.
• 6:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't, but a lot of people do.
• 6:32
  Carmen Lezeth: There are a lot of things that happen to us, right?
• 6:36
  Carmen Lezeth: That happened there external.
• 6:38
  Carmen Lezeth: And it's even like taking a walk on the beach and just feeling the air, you know, on your face, you know, when you're taking that walk, you're like, wow, this is so beautiful.
• 6:48
  Carmen Lezeth: That's happiness.
• 6:49
  Carmen Lezeth: It's it's something that happens in the moment and it's happening to you.
• 6:54
  Carmen Lezeth: The easiest way I could explain joy is this ability to not just remember that feeling, but to dig for it, to find it when you need it most, right?
• 7:07
  Carmen Lezeth: When you're feeling sad, when you're feeling like life is so hard, when you're feeling like things are just not working out, instead of digging the hole deeper, instead of going into that horrible, sad place, if you can find your way out of it.
• 7:27
  Carmen Lezeth: And remembering some of those moments, remembering what it feels like, that to me is part of what joy is.
• 7:37
  Carmen Lezeth: Joy is the ability to find within yourself that moment that can give you perspective and possibility and the silver lining and the light at the end of the tunnel.
• 7:53
  Carmen Lezeth: And I, if there was one gift I could give everyone that I know, or everyone on the planet, is to not always feel like everything is negative and everything is bad and that the world is horrible and that your circumstance is dire and nothing is ever going to fix it.
• 8:14
  Carmen Lezeth: Like those things may be true to a certain extent, but we can always find, even in the worst of moments, a way to see the light, a way to see a way out.
• 8:30
  Carmen Lezeth: And that to me is about accessing joy.
• 8:33
  Carmen Lezeth: It's about accessing a moment that can take you out of what you're going through in that moment.
• 8:39
  Carmen Lezeth: So it look it, it's not about denying the circumstance you're in.
• 8:42
  Carmen Lezeth: It's not about being like, oh, you know what?
• 8:44
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't care, I can't pay my bills, whatever.
• 8:47
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just gonna sit here and be in joy.
• 8:49
  Carmen Lezeth: That's not what I'm saying.
• 8:50
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm saying sometimes when we're in a bad space, it's so much easier to keep staying in that bad space because we don't know how to get out.
• 9:02
  Carmen Lezeth: And sometimes when you can remember a moment, you know what?
• 9:07
  Carmen Lezeth: I might do it this way.
• 9:09
  Carmen Lezeth: Have you ever been feeling really, really sad?
• 9:11
  Carmen Lezeth: And then some song comes on the radio and you're like, oh my God, I remember this song, it's so good.
• 9:16
  Carmen Lezeth: And you just start to feel good, it's kind of that same thing.
• 9:20
  Carmen Lezeth: It doesn't mean that whatever was going on is now no longer an issue.
• 9:25
  Carmen Lezeth: It doesn't mean that whatever is happening is now fixed.
• 9:30
  Carmen Lezeth: But when you can change your spirit that way, when you can turn around and be like, oh my God, this song is so good, that's also being able to access joy.
• 9:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Now I know the music is making you feel happy, right?
• 9:45
  Carmen Lezeth: It's it's an external thing.
• 9:46
  Carmen Lezeth: The joy is being able to find a way out.
• 9:49
  Carmen Lezeth: You can also, without having external things, music come into your way to make you happy in that moment, you can also access joy from within.
• 10:00
  Carmen Lezeth: I was explaining to someone the other day that I was just really having a hard time after I had gone and met with my doctor.
• 10:09
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, they had told me things that I wasn't happy about, right?
• 10:13
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, health-wise, I've been really trying to get back on track.
• 10:16
  Carmen Lezeth: And it just, you know, as she was explaining things to me or whatever, then I was finding myself getting really upset.
• 10:23
  Carmen Lezeth: And when I left, I got in my car and I tried to take like, you know, a few breaths and tried to like clear my mind.
• 10:30
  Carmen Lezeth: And I was just so angry on so many levels because I started thinking about why is health insurance like this?
• 10:36
  Carmen Lezeth: Why is, I mean, besides the fact that I have some actual physical issues I have to deal with, like most people, I was also upset about the fact that I couldn't have the conversation with the doctor.
• 10:45
  Carmen Lezeth: And I was getting more and more mad because you have to schedule a different visit if you're going to talk about something else, which means a different co-payment.
• 10:52
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, like so.
• 10:53
  Carmen Lezeth: I started, you see, I'm starting to go down that rabbit hole because now I'm I'm upset about everything.
• 10:58
  Carmen Lezeth: So I'm in my car and I was like, and I started thinking about my mom, and I started thinking about my horseback riding boots for the parade, and I started thinking about the parents who turned around and did so much for me when I was a kid, who stepped in so many times when um I needed them, especially after my mom passed away, those same people.
• 11:24
  Carmen Lezeth: Um, and I started thinking, like, oh my God, I'm so blessed.
• 11:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I wish more people understood the power of joy, the power of being able to remember things that are more important than whatever the thing is you're going through in the moment.
• 11:46
  Carmen Lezeth: Because here's the thing about sadness that people don't understand and happiness, they're fleeting.
• 11:53
  Carmen Lezeth: They are going to happen.
• 11:56
  Carmen Lezeth: And one doesn't exist without the other, right?
• 11:59
  Carmen Lezeth: Sadness is something that we're all going to experience in one way, shape, or form or the other, whether it's someone passing away or some type of disappointment, or right?
• 12:10
  Carmen Lezeth: This is the journey we're on as human beings.
• 12:13
  Carmen Lezeth: We are walking a path and there are going to be highs and lows.
• 12:17
  Carmen Lezeth: And then we're going to have these moments of happiness that, oh, okay, great, you know, a new baby is born, or, you know, I did get that advancement and a new job position or whatever.
• 12:30
  Carmen Lezeth: Like there were going to be these moments where we have highs and lows, happiness and sadness.
• 12:37
  Carmen Lezeth: But the real trick of it all for me, and it's not a trick, it's just a skill, is it's not just that I want my life to be content like this all the time, because if it was, it would be kind of boring after a while, right?
• 12:51
  Carmen Lezeth: But how do I deal with every single thing that happens along the way?
• 12:56
  Carmen Lezeth: How do I find ways to deal with the lows, the parts that are painful, the parts that are hard, so that I can get back up here so I can keep enjoying more of this life of mine and have a more consistent pathway that has more moments of joy and happiness than sadness and despair.
• 13:18
  Carmen Lezeth: Because the thing that's interesting is, and I this part I don't understand.
• 13:24
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know what it is about the human species that we revel.
• 13:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know if that's the right word, but we revel in pain.
• 13:34
  Carmen Lezeth: And and I know everyone's gonna be like, I don't.
• 13:37
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, you know what?
• 13:38
  Carmen Lezeth: Here's the thing.
• 13:39
  Carmen Lezeth: I feel like we're predisposed to wanting to maybe help or see what's going on, or I don't know, but like think about a car accident.
• 13:49
  Carmen Lezeth: If there's a car accident and you're driving along, the reason why you end up having traffic isn't because people are going their normal, whatever.
• 13:57
  Carmen Lezeth: They're slowing down.
• 13:58
  Carmen Lezeth: This is, and I'm not talking about they're slowing down to go around the accident.
• 14:01
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I'm talking about.
• 14:02
  Carmen Lezeth: Most people are watching the accident, right?
• 14:06
  Carmen Lezeth: It's kind of like when something bad happens, people are like now using their phones to videotape it.
• 14:12
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, and sometimes I'm grateful that people do that, but we don't always understand why we're so fixated on the negativity, the sadness, the violence, the accident or whatever, right?
• 14:27
  Carmen Lezeth: Whereas things that are joyful and beautiful and wonderful, we kind of don't pay that much attention to them.
• 14:34
  Carmen Lezeth: We we kind of just let them go.
• 14:36
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, we're like, oh yeah, that was great.
• 14:37
  Carmen Lezeth: And then we just move along and we want whatever's next.
• 14:40
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, in that sense, I feel like human beings are pretty remarkable.
• 14:44
  Carmen Lezeth: The reason why we've made so many advancements is because we're never satisfied.
• 14:48
  Carmen Lezeth: Like there's good and bad to that, right?
• 14:50
  Carmen Lezeth: We're never satisfied in any way, shape, or form with what is.
• 14:53
  Carmen Lezeth: We want what's next.
• 14:55
  Carmen Lezeth: That doesn't mean we're greedy.
• 14:56
  Carmen Lezeth: It doesn't mean we're, it means we're human.
• 14:59
  Carmen Lezeth: This is why we've made so many technological advancements and medical advancements.
• 15:04
  Carmen Lezeth: And, you know, I mean, I love humans.
• 15:09
  Carmen Lezeth: I think humans are amazing.
• 15:11
  Carmen Lezeth: I think what makes me sad is watching the breakdown of humans so easily because they don't understand that life doesn't need to be so negative.
• 15:21
  Carmen Lezeth: It doesn't need to be so sad all the time.
• 15:24
  Carmen Lezeth: Life has its ebbs and flows, but you have the ability to have the best life anyway.
• 15:30
  Carmen Lezeth: Like you have the ability to grab joy over holding on to sadness and despair.
• 15:37
  Carmen Lezeth: You have that choice.
• 15:39
  Carmen Lezeth: And I already said it earlier.
• 15:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Some of the ways to start training yourself to feel this, to understand it, is, you know, like music's an easy one.
• 15:50
  Carmen Lezeth: When you're feeling sad, when you're feeling like, you know, you thought you were gonna be able to do something, but you didn't quite qualify, or you got rejected, or whatever.
• 16:01
  Carmen Lezeth: You went out on a date and you really liked the guy and he told you, you know, he wasn't interested in you, whatever it is, whatever it is, you know, or maybe you were gonna run a race and you came in fifth and you thought you were gonna win it.
• 16:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Whatever it is.
• 16:13
  Carmen Lezeth: Um, one of the ways you can start to train yourself to focus on joy or focus on getting yourself out of the sadness is do a simple thing and start having music available to you right away.
• 16:29
  Carmen Lezeth: When you start feeling sad, and this is not to deny the sadness, you can have the cry, you can have the moment, but you all know when you're way too sad and you're digging the hole deeper.
• 16:41
  Carmen Lezeth: We do know, you do know when enough's enough, but you're still there.
• 16:46
  Carmen Lezeth: And then you start to get angry, and then you start blaming other people, and then you start going to you know what I'm talking about.
• 16:53
  Carmen Lezeth: But if you could turn around and even do something as simple as putting on a song that you love that has always made you feel good, and have that available to you immediately, that might be a way to start getting you into that space.
• 17:08
  Carmen Lezeth: For me, I have a lot of different memories that I put in my first book, Canela, that I sometimes go to in my head because I remember what it felt like to be loved.
• 17:21
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember what it felt like to be nurtured.
• 17:26
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember what it felt like to be accepted.
• 17:31
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember what it felt like to be thought of as worthy.
• 17:36
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember what it feels like to be considered.
• 17:41
  Carmen Lezeth: And I have all of these moments, right?
• 17:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I have all of these moments stored away so that when something happens and I'm miserable or sad, I can find my way out of it.
• 17:55
  Carmen Lezeth: I can trigger one of those moments instead of going down the spiral of that rabbit hole where I start to have more resentment and anger, and I find more things to be upset about and who to blame and who to.
• 18:10
  Carmen Lezeth: I wish I wish that people could feel what it feels like to be a little bit more joyful every day.
• 18:24
  Carmen Lezeth: This is why I named my show All About the Joy.
• 18:28
  Carmen Lezeth: This is why my company, this is one of the companies that I love and that I, you know, have the trademark on, and all about the joy is the thread that is my life.
• 18:43
  Carmen Lezeth: It is how I got through every single circumstance that was put in front of me, and it continues to be what I do today.
• 18:52
  Carmen Lezeth: I get angry, I get upset with people, I get disappointed in people, but the reason why it's so, I guess, easy for me to walk away from people is because you also start to understand when you are a person that accesses joy and understands how joy works, you don't want anyone to interfere with that.
• 19:16
  Carmen Lezeth: So you put up these boundaries, you put up these blocks, and it just happens accidentally or it happens because of it.
• 19:25
  Carmen Lezeth: It's like a side benefit of understanding how joy is such a powerful, intuitive, you know, human instinct that you can develop as a skill.
• 19:35
  Carmen Lezeth: It stops people from coming into your life that are actually not supposed to be there because they're not worthy.
• 19:43
  Carmen Lezeth: And I know that sounds really mean, but it's like if someone is invading your ability to have joy, you're not gonna want them there anymore.
• 19:53
  Carmen Lezeth: They can either find a way to have joy in their lives too, or they just get pushed out.
• 20:00
  Carmen Lezeth: And so people interpret my ability to walk away from people as like, wow, she's so hard, she's so mean, she's like.
• 20:07
  Carmen Lezeth: It's not even that.
• 20:09
  Carmen Lezeth: It's just the protective space that I have been able to create around myself, it's not isolating, but it is very selective, right?
• 20:19
  Carmen Lezeth: It is very selective, and it's so rich in the people that are in my life.
• 20:26
  Carmen Lezeth: And I have said this before too, and I know people don't believe me, but when you are able to get toxicity out of your life, other light, other love, other beauty, other people show up.
• 20:42
  Carmen Lezeth: The people that are supposed to be in your life in that moment in time are there.
• 20:47
  Carmen Lezeth: And they understand and respect your joy, and they actually add to your joy and they add to more of those memories, right?
• 20:56
  Carmen Lezeth: All of my memories of joy are not just from when I was a kid and from that one story about the boots and my mom and Mr.
• 21:04
  Carmen Lezeth: and Mrs.
• 21:04
  Carmen Lezeth: Wall and all the other things that happened back then.
• 21:07
  Carmen Lezeth: There are also moments of joy that I now have because I have such beautiful, wonderful friends in my life, because I have such beautiful, wonderful people in my life now that it's almost like you're curating your life and the people who are gonna be in it.
• 21:25
  Carmen Lezeth: And look at this also, I know can sound like, okay, and so like I have all these friends, and that's not what I'm saying.
• 21:32
  Carmen Lezeth: You don't have to have a lot of friends, but you don't want to have a lot of bad people in your life just to say you have a lot of friends.
• 21:39
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean?
• 21:40
  Carmen Lezeth: Like if you have one friend you can count on, one family member that you know will be there for you, you are one of the wealthiest people on the planet because I know so many people who don't have that.
• 21:52
  Carmen Lezeth: And by the way, I've not always been in this position.
• 21:57
  Carmen Lezeth: This has been something that has built over time my ability.
• 22:01
  Carmen Lezeth: And it starts with understanding seriously the difference between happiness and joy.
• 22:07
  Carmen Lezeth: Because here's the thing about happiness.
• 22:08
  Carmen Lezeth: Once you know what happiness is, you don't invest in it too much.
• 22:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Like, okay, I got a bonus, great.
• 22:15
  Carmen Lezeth: Woo-hoo, I'm so excited, that's wonderful.
• 22:17
  Carmen Lezeth: And I move on, right?
• 22:19
  Carmen Lezeth: Because happiness is fleeting.
• 22:21
  Carmen Lezeth: You start to realize, and then what you learn, sadness is also fleeting.
• 22:26
  Carmen Lezeth: You understand, like, oh my God, I'm so heartbroken right now, I'm sad, whatever.
• 22:30
  Carmen Lezeth: This was a terrible thing that happened, but it doesn't eat at you.
• 22:34
  Carmen Lezeth: It doesn't take the rest of your being to understand it.
• 22:38
  Carmen Lezeth: You're like, this also, you've heard the term, this too shall pass.

  Carmen Lezeth: That's what that's about.
• 22:43
  Carmen Lezeth: But it also happens with happiness.
• 22:45
  Carmen Lezeth: But joy, joy is a skill.
• 22:48
  Carmen Lezeth: Joy is a thing you can access.
• 22:51
  Carmen Lezeth: You can learn to get so good at it that no matter what is happening in your life, you can take a real breath.
• 22:59
  Carmen Lezeth: You can turn around and find the light in it, you can find the possibility in it, you can find the joy in all of the darkness that you're going through to pull yourself out and to move forward anyway.

  Carmen Lezeth: And that's kind of what I wish I could help so many people with.
• 23:20
  Carmen Lezeth: It's what I wish most people would understand.
• 23:23

  Carmen Lezeth: So that's the gift I would want to give everyone.
• 23:45
  Carmen Lezeth: If I could wrap it up in a package and hand it out, I would.
• 23:49
  Carmen Lezeth: I think it's probably one of the greatest things that I have ever learned or that I ever understood about life.
• 23:56
  Carmen Lezeth: It's one of the things I'm solid about.
• 23:59
  Carmen Lezeth: And I just wish everyone else would figure out how to access joy more often.
