Shift Weekly: STOP IT!

Shift Weekly: Stop It!

Coming soon!  Shift Online Saturday Morning Classes—beginning October 13^th.  More details to come about this exciting new way to keep Shifting from anywhere that you may be.

Dear Shifters,

One of the ways we stay stuck in the weight struggle is that we fall into the trap of the all or nothing, good or bad, off or on mindset.   As we focus on in the Shift Process—we are often very harsh with ourselves about our weight and inability to lose it long term.

There is a part of us that wants to restrict us, to control the chaos of our over eating.  This “Inner Critic” leads us to feel a bit overwhelmed and anxious—so guess who is there to disconnect us from the nagging and sharp critic?—our “Inner Rebel” of course who just wants to say, “Don’t worry—we’ll be good on Monday—life is too short—let’s load up on the fun stuff until then and then we will be perfect on Monday!”

The “Inner Critic” and “Inner Rebel” run the show of our weight struggle.  But luckily you have the ability to turn down the volume on these inner defeatist voices with the powerful wise voice of your Inner Coach.  You have the ability to say, “STOP IT” to the crazy making!  Your Inner Coach is the rational part of you that is committed to your long term success and uses logic and facts rather than emotional, overblown thinking to keep you on track with your weight release.

One way to access you Inner Coach at critical times is with a Shift Breath—the breath is one fabulous way to cut into the negative chatter in your head and say STOP IT!

This short, fun video tells two stories—in the first story our heroine falls prey to the Critic and Rebel and in the second story she SHIFTs to a happy ending with the help of her Inner Coach.  Notice how she utilizes the “Shift Breath”!
