Start with the ordinary thing you miss
It could be a walk with somebody, clothes that feel comfortable, cooking without a long debate or enough energy for a hobby. Give the goal a real setting. ‘Have more confidence’ becomes easier to work with when you know where you want to use it.
Use the part of SHIFT that fits
- My Timber: keep a goal, choose a Next Shift and return to say whether it helped.
- Grub: explore food choices and meal planning for the time and ingredients you have.
- Fit: look for movement options suited to your circumstances; get individual advice when suitability is uncertain.
- The Knowledge Hub: understand a topic and prepare questions for the right professional.
- Good to Talk: read about difficult weeks and find appropriate support routes.
Keep responsibility clear
Everyday planning belongs with you. Diagnosis, prescribing, medicine changes and clinical monitoring belong with the appropriate healthcare professional. A saved check-in does not mean somebody is watching over it. If you have an urgent problem, use the appropriate urgent or emergency service rather than waiting for a reply from SHIFT.
Make the next step yours
Choose one thing that would make the next few days better, then decide how small it needs to be to fit. You can use My Timber, a notebook or your own notes. You do not need to buy medicine or an optional product to use the core My Timber check-in.
