“You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it” - Dr. Wayne Dyer
How often have you found yourself in the same old thinking that gets you no where? Your life feels like constant turmoil. You want to join the neighborhood gym, but the $30.00 per month membership means you will have to scrimp somewhere else in your budget like the Mega Channel Cable TV package you have. Maybe you are limiting your “You Time” to a daily shower and wonder why you feel stressed all the time. You want to change jobs but there is just no place that’s a perfect fit for you, so you stay stuck where you are.
We have read and heard that change begins with within ourself, and it’s true. Researchers say that we have about 60,000 thoughts swirling around in our heads each and every day. Many of those thoughts are negative coming from our egos, from fear or from past experiences. Your Aunt Lilly said you would never be able to support yourself as an interior decorator. With a thought like that recycling in your brain, guess what – you will never be able to support yourself as an interior decorator. Sure, this is just an example, but put your own dream occupation in place of interior decorator. Are you able to make changes in your life and move in the direction of your dreams? Or, have you been unable to move towards that dream because of thoughts like your ego saying it’s a lot of work and you will be a failure or maybe you’re afraid that others will think you are not good enough. Or, maybe you think Aunt Lilly was right. You have the power to change all this.
When you change the thoughts that you carry around with you, you can change your life. Your thoughts are creating your life. Think of yourself as a magnet. If you believe your job is lousy, it’s lousy. If you believe that your relationships are awesome, they are awesome. If you believe that you are stuck in a life situation, you are stuck. If you believe that you are loved, you are loved. These are truths based on the law of quantum physics and the law of attraction.
You can change your thinking. You do not need to let negative thoughts control your life. Like any good habit, it just takes some time and practice. You need to exercise your mental muscles. Read a book, play a game or attend a class that will work your mental muscles to know you have the ability to change your thinking. For example, here is an exercise for you - take a moment to “hear” the thoughts in your head before responding. Are they positive thoughts that will move you forward as a loving individual, or are they negative thoughts that will hold you, and the people around you, back from reaching their full potential? For example, your co-worker Bob has just asked you once again to cover for his shift. Your usual response is to just say “yes” without thinking. You never say “No”. You just want to please him and get over any conflict. After the fact how do you feel? Do you really want to work for Bob? How did that feel?
Now stop for a moment before you respond to Bob’s request. This is your practice leading to good habits. Ask yourself when was the last time you said “No” to someone, anyone? Why can’t you say “No”? Are you always a compromiser to keep everyone happy except yourself? Think of what is best for you right now. Is it best to help Bob out again, or is it best to help yourself out by not working his shift and following your own plans even if it was to have dinner with yourself. Now practice in your thoughts saying “No” to Bob. How do you feel? Empowered? If Bob would not take it well, that is not your fault and you cannot take it personally. If you said “yes” would it be for the right reasons? Perhaps you could use the extra money and Bob knew that. In either case, there is no wrong answer and whatever answer you give, you give from love for yourself and Bob. Now, how did that feel?
Here is another example, when you give a gift are there always conditions and expectations or are you giving only from love? Are you a classic underachiever, or the victim or always expecting the worse to happen? Guess what, that is what will happen until you stop to hear your thoughts before you respond to others. Determine where your thoughts are coming from and change them to respond only from love and in spirit.
Next, practice looking at other people from love. When we focus on another person’s negative traits, our thoughts are judgmental. There is no way for us to know that other person unless we live in a science fiction movie and can literally jump into their head. The only way we truly know that person is through our own thoughts. If you only see the negative side of a person, then that is the relationship that exists between you. However, if you change your thoughts to focus on the positive – the love – in another individual you have changed that relationship just by changing your mind.
See how simple this can be? This year, don’t just change your diet. Change your thinking and you can join that gym, move to a different job and say “No” when you need to. It just takes practice to create new habits. Practice changing your thoughts and you can change your life

Join us for the “Day Shift”
Perhaps you’ve heard about Shift, the game that shows us why we do what we do.
Perhaps you’ve played the game with your friends and you called each other on your “Shift.”
Perhaps you’ve even attended a Shift Circle and have had a chance to work your mental muscles and connect with other people that are making a shift.
Or maybe you’ve never heard of Shift, yet you’ve heard someone say, “Our thoughts create our reality” and think hey, there might be something to that.
Whether you’ve experienced Shift or not, Summer’s almost here and that means play time! It also means getting in shape. Now’s your opportunity to take your workout to the next level. If the Shift Circles are the Gym for the Soul, then the Day Shift is 5 hours with a Personal Trainer. We work you from the inside.
By the end of The Day Shift you will:
- Understand the three Shift Principles and how they apply to every one of your relationships and experiences
- Be able to clearly identify your Core Beliefs and how they came to be
- Understand how your Core Beliefs run your defenses and see how you can drop them
- Be able to apply the Identity Formula, Thought + Feeling = Behavior, to any situation
- Be equipped with the Shift tools that support you in shifting all of your relationships to equal relationships
- Have insight into why you keep repeating the same situations and see exactly what’s driving your behavior
- Have played Shift and connected from a heart level with other people who are making Shifts in their personal lives and their communities
- Not only know why your friends and family behave the way they do, you will know yourself better than ever before.
Yep, the summer’s almost here and that means fun. Who better to spend it with than that part of you that knows you are whole, complete and loved, that part of you that is pure joy.
Will this be an intense workout of your mental muscles? Yes
Will we expose those pesky voices in your head and support you in operating from a place of love? You bet.
Will we allow you to keep playing The Controller, The Pleaser, The Conditional Giver or the plain old Victim? Not a chance.
Get your ego to the gym and kiss it goodbye!

What we heard at the last Shift Circle: “This is so cool! To play with others where there is no judgment and I feel safe.” “Watch out Bunko.” “This is such a great way to put The Secret into practice.” “Thank you Shift for supporting me in understanding myself and other people better.”

6:45-7:00 Intro to Shift and How to Play
7:00-8:00 Play Shift!
8:00 Debrief on what showed up. This is the best part… it’s where we get to see how each of us supports each other through the examples we share.
This is a free event and an opportunity to play Shift. This Shift Circle will take place on Wednesday Oct. 3rd at 6:30 pm.
Call 303-530-0787 or write us at info@ShiftTheGame.com for more information. If you are interested in starting a Shift Circle in your area, please call us toll free at 1-866-SHIFT01 (744-3801).
