Happy New Year!

Did you know that September is the new January?

With the start of school and the change of seasons from the relaxed summer vibe of the previous couple of months, we naturally want to change our routines and habits. 

And we have the momentum to do it! 

 

 

So to take advantage of that “New Year” momentum, I’m sponsoring the September SHIFT Challenge.

 

A shift is a “slight change in position, direction, or tendency”.

 

 

And just like the “shift” key on your keyboard capitalizes letters to show importance, we’ll be shifting our lives to more accurately reflect what’s truly most important.

 

 

Because I’m a nerd, SHIFT is actually an acronym for some areas we’ll be focusing on this month:

 

Savings

Let’s shift our money habits from aimless spending to purposeful saving.

 

Home

Let’s shift our homes from cluttered chaos to beautiful calm.

 

Identity

Let’s shift our mindsets from hard-driving performance and perfectionism to quiet acceptance of ourselves.

 

Family

Let’s shift our focus from the distractions of life to engaging in our most important relationships.

 

Time

Let’s shift the way we spend our time so we do more of what really matters.

 

Each week I’ll share simple, tiny, practical steps you can take in each area. You can choose to try one, or try all of them.

But we’re not simply adding more to the to-do list.

 

SHIFT is about refocusing on our top priorities and realigning ourselves with our values.

 

 

Ladies, we’re gonna get our “SHIFT” together!

 

I’ll share our first shifts on Monday, September 2nd, but in the meantime:

    I am wanting to shift on chaos to calm:) So much happening and managing everything to minimize the chaos hasn’t been my strong point these last weeks

  4. Allyson says

    Just saw this challenge, and it is right in line with what I need to focus on right now… I need a shift
    in Identity! I am now a parent to a 16 year old and parenting a teen is a whole new ball game.

    • Kimberlee Stokes says

      Oh Girl! I will pray for you. 🙂 Really, it will be wonderful. Just maintain open communication and pray a LOT!

  5. Camille says

    Love this! Great time of year to focus on home as seasons change and holidays comes in the next couple of months.

  9. Jenna says

    ALL of the areas! We recently moved and all of these are hitting home at the moment. The mom guilt when your child is wanting to play while you are trying to unpack, having to buy a duplicate of something you know you already have, but need right away and haven’t been able to find yet, the chaos of having to dig through boxes to find everything, etc. The perfectionist in me can’t stand all the chaos, but we have been SO busy that we haven’t had much time and energy to sit down and unpack yet.

    • Kimberlee Stokes says

      Ugh! I totally understand the post-move chaos. So glad you’re joining us though. You can do this Jenna!

  10. Rebecca says

    Thanks for offering this challenge, Kimberlee! I am definitely in! I need to SHIFT in all areas actually so it’s hard to narrow it down. Looking forward to this challenge! I definitely need it!

    • Kimberlee Stokes says

      Thanks for joining us Rebecca! No need to narrow it down. Feel free to try all of the tips. 🙂

  12. Laurel K says

    I hope you & family are safe as Dorian approaches. I have not created a shift space as I have been preoccupied with Dorian as it approached my condo. I live in Texas but was worried. I think all will be okay so now I can create my shift space!

  14. Carrie says

    Yup, all those areas could use a little fine-tuning. Right now I’m focusing more on fixing my time and my home.

  15. Paula says

    I need to work on my identity shift. Sometimes, I am busy with day to day tasks that I don’t take time for myself.

  16. Susan says

    Definitely in for this challenge! I could use a shift in my finances and Identity. I just recently started viewing my Saving as “Murphy” insurance. It’s helping me think differently about it AND wanting to save.

  17. Tricia Shelly says

    I’m in. I really need a shift in all of the areas but I think if I focus on time the rest will benefit.

  21. Jennifer DG says

    So ready for this shift change – thank you for hosting it! Each of the 5 areas you have chosen is perfect for me to work on. All relevant & in need of a re-vamp!!

  22. Yael says

    I’m in! I just made an agreement with a friend who is going to hold me accountable, that I would site and write out the areas of my life which I am prioritizing. Then, I’ll list action steps to move forward. Basically lifestyle design. So this challenge is right on time!

  24. Daisha says

    I’m going to give it a try…I need help in every area but identity and time are my two main focuses…I think a shift in those areas will most definitely help me more easily shift in the other areas.

  25. Debora says

    I’m definitely in!
    My children going back to school is like the start of a new year for me. So timely.
    Ready and willing to SHIFT!

  28. Ashlee says

    I’m in! We recently had a large expenditure we covered with savings and now we need a plan to build it back up.

  32. Angela S says

    I’m in. I want to work on Identity. I always struggle with this and know that I need to improve on it.

  33. Theresa Kane says

    I’m in! I need a do over 🙂 to work on my goals… I want to focus on my savings, home and identity!! Thanks for the challenge!!

  36. Carolyn says

    I’ve been preparing this week for exactly the same thing (using my vision board and planner). Count me in!

  39. Faith says

    I’m in! I always enjoy your challenges,they are so practical. I am ready to declutter – I think it’s the seasons changing that always makes me ready to do so!

  40. Tamalita says

    I’m in! I need to focus on everything, but really want to focus on a shift in my home. It’s a never ending thing.

  41. Barbara says

    I’m in! September is my favorite month of the year, so I’m looking forward to this “New Year” shift. My biggest problem area is Home. I just had to nix a gathering my husband was planning without my knowledge, because no way is our house company-ready! And after looking around with new eyes, he had to agree!

  43. Kerri says

    I need to focus on my time. I am always “busy” but not always on the right things. I need this month to refocus, refuel, and “shift” my way of thinking.

  47. Annette says

    I love all the suggestions. I’m currently working on my home: bringing cluttered chaos into peaceful calm. I find it hard to work on other things when my home is out of order. I’m already feeling more at ease and am interested in progressing into more areas.

  49. Wendy Pickering says

    My Time is where I need to Shift! I’ve been trying to prioritize better, so this will be a great resource!
