Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with today’s Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration from our new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Forgiveness Fix. We made this new book because I’ve read tens of thousands of personal, revealing stories from our writers during the twelve years I’ve been doing this job, and I’ve come to understand that forgiveness is an essential key to happiness. Why is forgiveness so important? It’s because of the emotional weight we carry when we don’t forgive. And interestingly, self-forgiveness is just as important as forgiving other people. So I’m going to share two stories today that will show you how you can find your way to self-forgiveness, too.

Today we’re going to talk about overcoming shyness, which is something we get a lot of stories about. I think we’ve all had those shy moments in our lives, and for some people it can be overwhelming. The good news is that you can step outside your comfort zone and practice acting less shy, and then before you know it you are not that shy person anymore.
