“
Ordered the Shift the morning I decided to quit my Juul habit (one pod per day). The Shift wouldn’t arrive until 3 days. The first two days were difficult. I chewed on toothpicks and straws to replace the physical motion of the Juul but it did nothing for the physical effects of withdrawal. I was ready to give up. Then the Shift arrived. Not only does it substitute the physical movement of using the Juul (which is key for replacing bad habits), the breathing technique it promotes addresses the momentary anxiety you experience during withdrawal. It’s been the perfect replacement for the Juul. It’s been two weeks since I last used a Juul and I owe it all to the Shift. Thank you so much!

I suffer from very bad anxiety and even the times I don't force myself to stop and use my shift or don't feel comfortable around strangers just knowing it is there calms me down. I wear my shift everyday and have even gotten one for my mom who wears hers everyday.

When my and my son's Shift came, at first we were leery of how simple the product actually is. But we quickly became obsessed with using it correctly, perfecting our exhale, and comparing notes with each other. It works for us! Mom 47 y/o and son 18 y/o.

I LOVE the Shift. Having it around my neck reminds me to do the breathing as a means of relaxing and staying so much calmer. I am an A personality and also have hypertension so this is so perfect for people like me. Very grateful.

“Got it for girlfriend as a holiday gift. She loves it both as jewelry and an instrument to center herself when anxious. She smokes a lot of spliffs throughout the day especially when studying, and since this gives her a similar oral fixation she says it reduces how many she smokes (doubt it). Great buy!”

“I can’t believe that something this simple can calm me down and bring me back to the moment. I have it on all the time. I didn’t give it 5 stars simply for the fact that the “matte” color started to come off and the chain has turned my neck blue 3 times. I finally found and old piece of leather and now just wear it on that. That is very minute. It
