If you feel like something is missing from your life or that there's an area that could use come improvement, remember the acronym "S.H.I.F.T." SHIFT represents the 5 main areas of importance in your life: Spirit, Health, Intellect, Freedom, and Teamwork. Take a few minutes and rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 in each area--1 being terrible and 10 being phenomenal. When you're done, you will have a much better idea of what areas to focus on improving to give your life more balance. Keep in mind, you're not comparing yourself to other people, you are only determining how you feel about each area of your own life.
Here's a brief description of what each of them means to you:
Spirit: your connection to the intangible beauty of life. Your appreciation for art, music, and nature.
Your level of gratitude for all of the good in your life. Your ability to quiet your mind or meditate. Your connection and relationship to a higher power. Spirit can be any or all of these things.

Give them all the attention they deserve and you will be able to transform your life. We can all use a little SHIFT every once in a while.
