Shift - A Game About Love, Fear and Life

Click here to see my demo! Live from New York!

Keep in mind, I was given 1 minute and 1 take to convey our message. I’m actually more fun than this… but pretty cool. Look ma, I’m famous!

We’re putting a plan into place to get angels like Liz involved around the country. People love playing and we’re looking for Shift advocates who want to start game nights in their hometowns. I was excited to get this this morning and thought I’d share.

Hey Ladies-

I’m so thrilled, I have to share:

Last night I hosted Game Night a la Wild Oats.

The first guy to answer a question was thrown off by it (think: “wow, I didn’t know what these questions were going to be like, I’m not sure I’m in for this depth”…) but, once we got rollin’ my two friends were ALL ABOUT SHIFT. They asked how soon they could play again. (Note: Is Nicole hosting next Thurs at Borders? I want to be IN on all the game nights so I can tell folks to come, even if I can’t! THANKS!)

 

YOUR GAME IS BRILLIANT and insightful. It gets folks to access parts of themselves and memories they might not access regularly…or at all. This game changes lives- seriously!

Wanted to share my enthusiasm today.

You women are changing the world one question at a time.

BLESSINGS~

Liz

Shift Workshops: Ask you to face your fears, take risks and choose love while uniting your team behind a single thought, your Playing to Win!

The mind is a muscle. You gotta work it. Shift workshops actively work your mental muscles. Other workshops give you a few small exercises to ground the lesson. Shift workshops keep you active. We exercise your mind. We engage that place where shifts take place. When you experience something, you own it. That’s why play promotes learning. Shift workshops are based on play so that you will experience what it feels like to make a shift. You will experience the shift from fear to love, from contraction to expansion, from judgment to open-mindedness and from being your own worst enemy to your ultimate champion.

We work the inside from the outside. When readings, affirmations, and lessons work, they work internally. Playing Shift works from both the inside and the outside. You get instant feedback from your peers who act as mirrors. You can receive acknowledgement, honor and respect. However, you can also get called on your “Shift.”

Instant gratification. Yes. Spray and pray. No. Some workshops spray you with their philosophy, give you a few affirmations and you’re left to pray that it will work. Our workshops give you the tools to see yourself, know that you are always at choice and shift the situation. Shift is a proven, effective tool that creates positive thinking and releases limiting beliefs. Based on you, Shift changes each time to meet your unique needs so that you can constantly make the shift to having the life you want.

Shift currently offers your organization 1 hour, 3 hour or 8 hour workshops. Facilitated game plays are available too. All are customized to meet your needs and timeframe.

Contact Nicole Casanova at nicole at ShiftTheGame.com for more information on costs and availability. Or, call us toll free at 1-866-SHIFT01 (1-866-744-3801). We want to help your organization Shift!

“Please come back to check us on our SHIFT!” … anonymous, Denver Schools

What would happen if 1 million people committed to making a personal shift by January 1, 2007? 

Do you wish you could rebuild New Orleans, end the war, improve education, end child abuse, house the homeless, provide healthcare to those in need?  Is it crazy to think we can actually impact such huge issues?  The truth is we can.  It starts within.  

Making a shift does not require money, the right politician, or anything outside of us.  Making a shift is simply choosing to do something differently.  What would you choose to be different in your own life?  If 1 million people committed to making their own personal shift we would feel something; more peace, abundance, connectedness, love. 

 

Our thoughts are our reality.  If you write down a goal it is more likely to happen.  All we are asking is for 1 million people to write down their own shift.  Declare your personal shift to the world, and publicly commit to making the shift.  Declare your shift by replying to this post. Better yet, copy this and forward it to 5 friends, and ask them to come to http://www.shiftthegame.com/blog/declare-your-shift.html and post their reply so we can make even more shifts.

State what you are willing to shift, your name, location, and date.  Add yours next to mine: 

 

1.  I will start each day acknowledging ME by writing down what I am grateful for about myself.  I will write down my accomplishments, qualities and more…so I remember that I am good enough.  Nicole, Boulder, Colorado, 9/1/06. 

 

2.    I am going to shift my thoughts and actons into helping those less fortunate than me..  I am going to do some volunteer work- I would really love to get involved with habitast for humanity- I can’t lift but I can use a staple gun or hammer or paint.  That is my way of mentally shifting from my materialistic existence to ehelp others who have less.  Arlene, Weston, Florida 9/2/06

3. I will say No without giving an excuse or defense.  Dan, Minneapolis, MN 9/6/06   

4.  I shall in my mind begin the process to be grateful for all the little things that come my way and the love I receive.  Amber, Key Largo, 9/29/06 

5. I will be more present.  I will cherish the moments to think of nothing, to rest my mind, to gain clarity of my surroundings and feel the purpose of an empty moment instead of trying to plan or define everything all the time.  Michelle, Delaware, 9/28/06.
