In Deep Shift
I chose to read In Deep Shift by Valerie Gauges due to the description listed on our book options. In Deep Shift highly resonates with the phase in life I am in, and I am sure other seniors feel as if they are in, too. We are entering a period of much change, which is scary. As I am in the heart of recruiting season, I am constantly stressed with school, everyday activities, networking, interviews, and trying to see my friends. It feels like a lot to balance, so I felt this book would be a perfect fit for where I am currently at in my life.
Although I still have half of the novel to read, the Deep Shift is an exciting concept. Gauges claim there are five signs when someone is in a profound shift: Your interest completely changes, your relationships begin to change, you have a strong urge to switch careers, you become less materialistic, and you feel a sense of calm. These are the five main reasons that cause someone to go into a deep shift: one's new ordinary waiting around the corner for people who need a change in their life. Only some people go through a Deep Shift or know they are in one. I don’t think I have experienced this disinterest in my “old life,” but I am curious how I feel once I enter post-grad life.
That being said, I feel like I highly resonate with the concept of a Shifter, someone who is in a phase where they are “built for growth” and focused on positive, healthy life choices, nature, and highly spiritual. I work hard and plan for important events, but I try to go with the flow and live in the present. Overall, this book thus far has captivated my attention. I feel as if I am acknowledging feelings about my life that I was never previously aware of while also preparing myself for the change that is about to present itself. I find it rare to find novels that grab my attention and force me to self-reflect, so I am excited to continue reading.
