I recently had someone ask me on twitter: "How did you get from Shy to shining?"
I decided to answer that question on my blog so I could easily share it with everyone. Below is an excerpt from the introduction to my soon to be published BOOK which answers this question. Of course overcoming any ingrained habit is a life long challenge but there are ways to do it.
So... how did I go from shy to shining" I made a very deliberate
choice. Somehow I knew that I did not
want to continue being type cast as the shy background player in the movie of
my life. I yearned to step out of that role. It was suffocating me but I didn’t
feel capable of being anyone else. Shai was familiar, she was comfortable, she
was well liked, respected even, but she was driving me crazy! If you are reading this book, chances are
there is a quality or habit that you feel locked into that you would like to
release. That’s just how I felt. So, I
made a choice. The deliberate choice I made to step out of
my shyness wasn’t premeditated but as soon as I made it, I knew it was right.
