    Notice the Good All Around You Every Day
    2025/01/27
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. II don’t know about you but I still feel like it’s New Year’s because I’m still making resolutions. When I think about it, I’m actually making resolutions all year as I try to develop better habits. And one of those habits is to try to remember the good every day and not just focus on what happens to be going wrong at any given time. Making a habit of focusing on good things is a common self-help theme that we see in our stories… because it really works. And that’s what I’m going to talk about today, with two stories from our new book about 101 ways to think positive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Face Your Fears and Have Fun

    Face Your Fears and Have Fun
    2025/01/15
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. This is the time of year when we are already re-examining our New Year’s resolutions and deciding which ones are actually do-able. I want to share one today that is an all-year resolution for me and my husband, and that is to face our fears and have more fun as a result. We are constantly fighting off that tendency to NOT do something new, usually for some dumb reason like we don’t know where to park there. But we’ve gotten way better about doing new things, eating new things, going to new places, having new experiences. So when you’re thinking about your New Year’s resolutions, you might want to add one about facing your fears or insecurities. And that’s what I’m going to talk about today, with two stories from our new book about 101 ways to think positive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
