Shift - A Game About Love, Fear and Life

This is a quote from a participant at a recent Shift Workshop. Other comments included playing Shift in the workshop “taught me how to think and react to any subject”, “I learned my defense is The Critic - I will improve and be less judgmental” and “I came in today with fear and now with the game I have the ability to SHIFT into a happier place”. And this was not an easy crowd! This workshop was with staff from all levels at a public Pre-School - 12th grade special needs school. Staff concerns on their first day back from vacation ranged from time issues to communication to being able to express emotions when needed. Through exercises and playing the game, many SHIFTED to start their year in a better place that just the day before. Check out our Shift Workshop pages to learn more about what Shift can do for your organization. Teachers learned that a game really can change your life.

I always thought that life would be easier when all my children left home. We would have quiet dinners, leisurely walks and travel on the weekends. That is not necessarily true as my husband and I found out this year. From taking in Grandma for a few months to taking in a friend for the summer, our lives have been crazier then ever. Or is it? All kids and a spare have come home for the summer. As I scramble working, preparing meals for seven, laundry (it never ends) and keeping a semi-clean home I often have to remind myself that my reality is what I make it. It is either very hectic or I can change my thinking in that I am blessed to have so many people sharing my home with me. I choose the later. So can you.
