The Six Shifts

From grip to loose, one shift at a time

You hold yourself to a standard nobody else could meet, then wonder why it feels lonely up there. Every Flexi skill helps with one of six shifts. Start with the one that grips you hardest.

Perfect
It has to be perfect, or it does not count.

Good enough

Done and good enough, and glad you did it.

Try Good Enough Gold
Rigid rules
There is a right way, and it is mine.

Room to bend

More than one way can work, and that is fine.

Try Bend the Rule
Harsh critic
Nothing I do is ever enough.

Kind voice

You talk to yourself the way a good friend would.

Try Catch the Critic
Avoidance and overwhelm
It is too much, so I keep busy and pull away.

Presence and connection

You stay with what is here and let someone close.

Try Spot the Dodge
Pleasing everyone
I say yes, then quietly resent it.

Kind no

You can say no kindly and stay close.

Try Kind No
