shifting blog #3
So ive decided to bring back shifting to my life in small increments. I discovered i wanted to shift to be myself. As someone who lives in a very strict household my need changed to want to have fun, and to have andimportant purpose. That feels like thats a new healthy relationship to shifting rather than treating it like a lifeline or my lst hipe for happiness. I had to step away for 2 months to really just rest from it all.
The way i was also getting uncomfortable by a lot of the shifting community didnt help either. Shifting became a lifeline for so many people. Shifting consumed peoples lives and when i realized it consumed mine i got freaked out. It still makes me uncomfortable to be in the shifting community after seeing how people are now. It used to be really fun and now i dont know i dont think ill stay, and for those thinking "ha. Loser giving up" while you yourself didnt shift, i hope you do shift then. If thats what you want go for it this isnt what i want. Its uncomfortable and weird. Its weird how you think this is normal or should be normal or ok.
So. Since im leaving, im just going to unapologetically list everything im uncomfortable with.
- How some shifters acted like celebrities
- "Its your shifting dad astro"
- Convincing other shifters they're a loser for wanting to quit
- The walking dead shifters
- Shifting to be a kid to date a kid (I dont care if you're technically a kid in the dr, you are weird. and you know you are.)
- How we all just listened to every shifting advice and ran with it. Doesnt it scare you how we were all so desperate to leave?
- People who shift to be with villains/bullies.
- People who tell others if they dont script out xyz then they condone xyz.
- People who scripted they got s/a'd in their dr just to get hurt/comfort. You're also traumatizing yourself and your comfort character btw and ruining both of your mental health.
- People who thinks mean = funny
- The people that think they are stuck in this DR. Like for some reason that makes me uncomfortable. You're saying you are stuck as if you werent ment to be here. Like homie this is your home. You arent stuck here.
- The way theres a little voice in my head that says "Oh maybe this will help me shift" every time I declaire im done with shifting.
- The way i spent all day, 15 hours, on notion. This happened multiple times and i was at my worst.
- The way this unhealthy behavior is condoned.
- The way some people are with someone and then wanna permashift to be with another. At that point its cheating. Its cheating.
- How people tried to respawn.
You need a wake up call and realize the shifting community isnt ok. Its filled with a toxic spiritual relationship to shifting. Its not supposed to be this way. Its supposed to be fun. And everyone here is just miserable.
shifttok is so obsessed with rationalizing shifting. literally everything they say is trying to justify why they didnt shift.
"i didnt shift last night because i just said affirmations and went to sleep" BITCH. people do that ALL THE TIME and they DO shift
"i didnt shift because i put my dr on a pedestal" people put their dream colleges on a pedestal. THEY STILL GO TO THOSE COLLEGES make it make sense
"i didnt shift because blah blah blah" bro.. you didnt shift because you're imposing these rules upon yourself that didnt exist in the first place.
think about it. you're jogging on a clear path at a nice pace, you know that you're gonna get to your destination soon. SUDDENLY you start putting down hurdles you have to jump over and holes that you have to avoid. does that make sense to you?
you can shift. everybody can shift. i spent literally 4 years trying to figure out how to shift when i already knew. fucking take a breather and just do what feels right.
the first time i shifted i turned on a sub and went to sleep. no affirmations, no method.
"i dont like doing affirmations, i get distracted." then dont! no one said u needed to
"i have trouble focusing on my method and i keep wandering off" then do that! just let go
you will shift because thats just what happens. this isnt some superpower. instead of searching for the key, realize that you are the key.
Hello im Danica, and im a 21 year old shifter thats been in the community since late october 2020.
I have one mini shift experience to a twilight DR

----------------
Mini shifted; Twilight
How it happened/Method; Genuinely i was pretty burnt out from shifting so i told myself its time like its time to prove to myself i will shift and i was over a shifting journey. so i kept affirming as i fell asleep that i am (DR Name) and i am so and so. And i fell asleep. and then. i woke up and i saw this beautiful log cabin but it feels so natural. like I didnt even notice i was somewhere different i just felt like i always been there. and i see edward beside me and i took my ass back to sleep. It was a strange time. I am pretty sure this was 2022. Im glad i didnt fully shift here i dont think it was a good dr looking back on it.

The next day Tim buys a smartwatch
Dick straps the hourglass he got from the dentist onto his wrist
Damian carries a bunch of candlesticks with nails in them and lights one whenever he needs a timer
Jason lugs around two industrial buckets of water to make a water clock
Steph gets an antique pocketwatch but it's carried around by a personal assistant that's coming out of Bruce's budget
Barbara buys a classroom clock and keeps it in her wheelchair pocket
Cass stands in a well-lit area and checks her shadow
Duke unearths a fifty-pound sundial and names it Duke II

Going to shift
One thing I like about the shifting community on Tumblr and Reddit is they're much more open to the idea of permashifting.
I've never been active on shiftok, but my main source used to be Youtube, and most popular shifting youtubers came from shiftok anyway. So many of them are against permashifting or don't believe in it, try to talk their followers out of it, or say that you need to make peace with your CR and be happy here in order to shift.
When I started learning about shifting, I was a little disappointed that permashifting wasn't an option (or that's what they made me believe). Because I always thought, if I ever found a way to go to my fantasy DR, I'd never come back. And suddenly I had found the way but I was forced to return regularly.
Later, I learned permashifting was actually possible, but it was controversial, and I decided I'd never talk about it because I didn't want to be judged. I thought I'd take the secret with me when I shifted.
But now, I feel like I can talk freely about my plans here, even if some people will still judge, there are many more who understand.
Bruce is the kind of guy who could walk through every circle of hell without a scratch but break a rib sneezing
Shifters blog entry #2
So I've decided to take an indefinite break from shifting. Nobody talks about how much shifting makes you hurt emotionally. Ive been trying to shift for almost 4 years now and i think its time i start moving on. Im at the point where im now so sad and depressed and i want to take the steps mecessary to become happy in my cr. Running from the problem was never an option, and it just made everything worse.
People often talk about how its weak or pathetic to give up shifting. Its not. I give up. I throw in my towel after almost 4 years. All shifting has done for me personally is run from my problems and im not going to anymore.
For so long ive been trying to be someone else. to be "Danica". and im not danica. Im just someone that wanted to be seen. and loved. and happy.
I was 17 when i first discovered shifting and ever since then ive been trying. im 21 years old now.
Its my first day trying to quit and now that u am detaching i see that someone shifting became my whole life. the posters on my walls the clothes i wear, my entire tiktok fyp, my gallery, my routine. I unknowingly had an unhealthy obsession with shifting. And i didnt know it untill i became so burned out that i realized i just want to be myself. and i want to be happy.
I cant say for sure i'll never try to shift again.
What i can say, im now going to take the path of manifestation instead. If you're a shifter, challenge yourself and try and see why you are unhappy. my own unhappiness came from shifting.
I just made a 12 page written script for a fame dr we havent even finished it yet
further more i find detachment to be so helpful too! (for me)
Heres how I detach, and use it as a routine.
So detachment for me means that I am not worrying or focusing on my CR. I am Calm and relaxed and there are no ties of my thoughts to my cr to stress over or worry about like chores or friends or events.
I get into a routine first to let go of my cr stress.
before you detach read your script (optional)
1. I like to start by eliminating what stressed me out so if its chores i didnt get done i do them ect. anything thats not done thats needed for tomorrow is done so when i start to detach my thoughts arent thinking about or stressing over/reminding myself of what needs to be done.
2. after im finished with all my chores or tasks that stress me out i take a shower and i dont rush it. it makes me feel refreshed. it makes me feel like I'm not so grounded or need to be aware. It calms the brain down. for others it can be reading or anything
3. I say goodnight to all my friends and family or let people know im busy if its an awake method/put phone on do not disturb. this is again, eliminates thought ties to your cr.
4. i dont close my eyes yet but i like to unfocus my eyes and heavy breaths. detach your thoughts and let them drift its like meditation. let all your stress go away. feel your mind slow down feel your emotions let go.
5. Now this that i am relaxed with zero worries or stress and my thoughts are kinda detached from reality I lay down and i start to visualize i am there. and i think like my dr self/do my method.
I hope this helps :))
HOW DO I SHIFT?
i’ve reached a point where the idea of sitting down and meditating, affirming, visualising, wbtb, void state, etc. etc. all bore me.
i know these r all tools which may help u reach your desired reality. however if we use loa, we can easily cut out methods (the middle man). all we see on shiftblr and shiftok is people telling us that if you persist and affirm you will shift or if you reach the void state u will shift. i’m not trying to deny these, but who’s to say u wont shift just by saying fuck it ill just wake up in my dr? bc the way i see it my dr is not a diff reality, it’s just the same reality manifesting itself differently. we all know what we say about the 3d and 4d. try to view shifting as just staying in this same reality but it’s your dr, if that makes sense? don’t think, i’m going to shift TO my dr, think i am in my desired state now and ALWAYS and watch it manifest in front of u. i think a lot of people’s struggle stems from their view of their dr as a faraway land that they can imagine living in but can’t imagine actually “leaving” this reality and “shifting” to that one. view your cr and dr as the same reality with diff 3d circumstances bc that’s what it needs to be for u to get rid of that thought of leaving this reality (which blocks u). just gts telling yourself that when u wake up u will be in your cr except all things will be identical to that of your dr. lmk if this works or helps anyone!!
