Great question!
A 2-Degree Shift is a powerful concept Teresa Romain first learned from one of her mentors, Carol McCall of The World Institute. A 2-Degree Shift is a way of looking at situations, problems and life in general that opens up new possibilities, empowers you, and produces results without the usual struggle, effort and scarcity. We use the idea of the 2-Degree Shift in all of our programs and in the principles of abundance we teach. The best way to describe the shift is to help you to visualize it.
Do you have a sheet of paper and a pen/pencil? Great! If not, then imagine it as we describe it. First, draw a circle. At the top of the circle - the 12:00 position - draw a mark and label that "True North" or the "North Pole". Then, at what would be about 2-3 MINUTES after the hour, draw another mark and label that "Magnetic North". Many people do not know that when a person navigates with a compass, the compass determines directions against the point on the earth's axis known as Magnetic North. However, Magnetic North is not the same as True North or the North Pole. In the northern part of the United States and southern Canada, for example, there's about a 2-3 degree difference between the two points.
Let's say that, at this point in your life, you are at the point known as "Magnetic North". Where you'd like to be - the abundance you are looking for - is the point called True North. As you look at the picture you've drawn (or imagined), it indicates that you have two routes you can take. One route is to go 358 degrees around - theoretically you'd get there - eventually! The 358-degree route is probably the path you've been taking - albeit unknowingly - when it comes to money, time, energy, fun, health, and your life. The 358-degree route is the path that requires effort, struggle, hard work, sacrifice and that is usually slow and often overwhelming and exhausting. You've probably been taking this route because you didn't know about the other route - you didn't realize you could also get to True North by making a 2-Degree Shift to the left.
Now that you know about the 2-Degree Shift, which route are you going to take on your Journey of Abundance?
