The most happy and successful people on earth have a personal
Shift List. They probably don't call it by that name, but they
have one. How do I know? Because these folks are enjoying their
journey on our challenging planet!
A Shift List is simply a list of activities and attitudes that
have the power to shift you from feeling blue to feeling new.
Your Shift List is any way you devise to remind yourself of the
actions that have the power to transform your mood and put you
back on a roll. Your reminders might be a formal written list or
journal, a set of well-placed post-its or notes, pictures or
photos, cartoons or symbols, poems or songs-or a phone or email
"shift" partner. When your aliveness begins to fade, you can
consult your "list" to trigger actions that will get you back on
track and into the Zone!
Here are some possibilities for your Shift List:
Shift Your Attitude
On average, a person has 60,000 separate thoughts a day. Every
thought you have either makes you stronger or weaker. Thoughts
of kindness, forgiveness and peace are strengthening. Focusing
on anger, anxiety, and worry weakens you. If you keep your
creating attention on the outlook that the universe is plentiful
and providing, you'll attract abundance and support. If you
dwell on the view that you're being short-changed and nothing
ever goes right, you'll experience a world of scarcity and
struggle. Focus on what's right about you or other people,
instead of what's wrong. See what's working in your life rather
than what's messed up.
Shift Your Activity
Devote your free time to ventures that enrich your enjoyment of
life. Pursue activities that make you feel fantastic and blissed
out. Begin each day with the projects that are the most exciting
to you, not the chores you think you should get done. Schedule

full day at the spa or a relaxing ride in the country. Explore a
new part of town. Indulge in your favorite food. Eat some new
delight. Go on a fun date with yourself. The rest of your life
will get a big boost and you'll find that you are effortlessly
getting necessary tasks accomplished.
Shift Your Approach
Life is too short to work so hard at pursuits that aren't really
fulfilling! You can either live your life regretting all the
roads left unexplored, or you can start living the life you
really want. Write your dreams down on paper to give them
concrete form and power. You now have an energized blueprint of
what you want and this gives your subconscious a clear signal
for what to attract. To add even more voltage to your goals,
visualize how you would like each day to go. Shift from thinking
of yourself as a victim to realizing you can be the source,
cause, creator, of what happens to you.
Shift Your Focus
Put your Self first. Choose to live life on your terms, not
someone else's. Define success for yourself. What would it look
like and feel like? Write down what success means for you. Use
these answers as your barometer. Make your priority whatever is
most important to you-God, family, friends, passion, art, your
life purpose. You'll find that decisions come more easily, and
you'll activate more support, love, money and magic in your life.
Shift Your Intake
We're strongly influenced by the people, thoughts and atmosphere
around us. We absorb the energy of what we allow into our space.
Hang with people who have the same life focus as you. Cut short
draining conversations. Give extra time to interactions that are
exhilarating. Switch to more inspirational reading that
activates the best aspects of your character.
Shift Your Outflow
Get rid of energy drains. Resolve any issues that you have been
brooding about for a long time. Bury the hatchet with friends
and relatives. Praise people rather than criticize. Detach from
the need to be right-and from the habit of judging or
controlling others. Catch yourself verbalizing self-defeating
thoughts. Stop labeling yourself while you're at it!
Shift Your Space
Clutter: The Silent Energy Sucker! Clutter has a real physical
effect on your energy levels. You don't need to clean out your
garage or closet all at once. Just take 15 minutes a day to
de-clutter some aspect of your space. Get rid of old, dead
things you don't use anymore. Add new, fresh elements to your
life. Feng-shui all areas of your earth adventure. What's on the
outside is a reflection of what's on the inside. What about
outdated relationships? Activities that no longer thrill you?
Habits which have ceased to serve a purpose?
Shift Your Environment
Get outside. Connect with nature and open spaces. Even in a city
you can find a park and some greenery. Breathe in the fresh air
and stretch your legs. Lie on your back, clear your mind and
follow the clouds drifting by. Listen to the grass grow. Watch
flowers bloom!
Shift Your Body
Move your body as much and as often as you can all day. Active,
physical movement will center, balance, ground and revitalize
you. The more you participate in life, the more life-in the form
of love, money and health-will flow through you. Hike, jog,
skip, swim, garden, cook, sing, skydive, quilt or paint. Let
your body dance you. Play music that speaks to your soul.
Shift Your Vibration
Spend part of each day in silence so that you can hear Spirit
speak to you. This can be an active meditation-like yoga,
tai-chi, walking, running, knitting, or petting an animal-as
well as a quiet sitting mediation.
Shift Your Pace
Most of us feel like we are victims to time-when in reality we
control how we use our time. Slow down. Rushing has become a way
of life for most of us. Gear down your walk. Slow down your
speech. Take a moment to breathe. Set the tempo so that you can
enjoy doing whatever you're doing.You will see dramatic positive
results.
Shift Your Age
Play on the ground like a baby. Fly a kite, roll in the grass,
or build a fort like a kid. Laugh with delight for no reason
like a child. Dance all night like a teenager. Sit on a
mountaintop like an old sage.
Shift Your Style
Under promise and over deliver. Give yourself more time to
complete a project than you feel you'll need-and deliver it
early! Learn to say no when an activity isn't intuitively right
for you. Focus on thriving, not just surviving. Your days will
not feel as frantic. You'll feel more fulfilled and happy!
