More About Shift: How to Use Shift
Shift is Lindsay's Life Wheel coaching app. It is going through an upgrade in 2017, but you can still download the iOS app to your iPhone and use it for tracking your wheel and inviting your Shift.
There is no right or wrong way to use Shift. It is a tool to support your life balance, manifestorial and alchemy processes. Lean in and try it out - at the very least it can be used to track our key goals during the Mystics - at most it is a magical tool in your tool box that works in synergy with journaling, ceremony and more.
Here are some ways to start using the tool - experiment - have fun - and we'll talk more during our Monthly Tea. xo ~ Lindsay
To use Shift Wheel, spend a few moments getting to know the categories provided. You can click on each for more guidance for reflection. Ask yourself, “what is my ideal score for this category?” It may not be a 5. Do I want that ideal score to change in the next month, 3 months, 6 months? Do I hope to increase the time I spend in Nature, or perhaps decrease my time (or be more productive) at Work?
If you’ve upgraded to Shift Wheel + with 8 custom fields, you can add your own personal categories (maybe Sleep or Play?) and perform this same reflection for each.
Next, rate yourself, on a scale from 1 to 5, on each category. How does your current sense of each relate to your ideal score?
Example, if you are feeling unproductive at Work, or your Body is feeling depleted today, enter a lower score.
Example: If you have a lot of Love in your life, for yourself, for others, for the world, or your "Mind" is feeling particularly sharp and productive, enter a score that is closer to your ideal.
Example: Or, you could be working long hours and feeling overwhelmed or exhausted: enter a score above your ideal for Work.
You might then ask yourself, Why did I score yourself in each category the way I did?
For lower scores, you might ask yourself:
What action could I take today and going forward to improve this aspect of my life?
What help could I ask for? From whom?
What do I need?
If you are exceeding your ideal score, consider questions such as these:
What purpose is the energy I’m putting into this high-scoring aspect of my life serving?
How might I redirect some of this energy into aspects of my life that may need it more?
Now reflecting on your wheel, consider, the biggest gaps in your satisfaction levels?
“Which area of my life do I primarily want to focus on to enhance my satisfaction levels?
This might mean I need to focus more energy on this aspect of my life, or it could mean pulling back and finding ways to spend less time and energy there.
Be Specific:
What are the specific actions or steps that you are going to take to enhance your satisfaction in your targeted areas? Take note of what you will do, maybe post your wheel to Facebook, or email it to a coach or advisor, and commit openly to taking the steps you need to bring your score closer to your ideal.
An important thing to remember is that this is your life wheel. Is it crooked, or is it balanced?
As you focus on finding balance between the different aspects of your life, you will find that you are living a more peaceful, purposeful, FULLER life.
Keep Tracking:
Track your progress! Shift Wheel not only provides a snapshot of your current satisfaction levels, it permits you to track, view, and analyze those levels over time. Complete the Wheel on a regular basis so you can easily track your progress.
