you can feel lost and still make progress.
feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing. feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re not moving forward. if anything, it’s proof that you’re growing.
that uncertainty? that frustration? that feeling like nothing is happening? that’s what happens when you’re pushing past old limits. your mind is adjusting, your beliefs are shifting, and your awareness is expanding—even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.
growth isn’t always obvious. when you’re manifesting something like shifting, a lot of invisible factors are going to weigh in but feeling lost and still choosing to keep going is what pushes you forward.
so keep trying. the progress is already happening.
I would just like to say— because i’ve had this thought for approximately 15 days now— if you feel super stuck or frustrated in your journey right now and also feel like your team isn’t helping out, or they’re giving you the same advice they always give, it’s likely because you’re closer to shifting than you currently think.
i’m gonna use hunger games as an example for this, bear with me but in the first book, katniss is dying of thirst and she resorts to just shouting up at the sky hoping that haymitch will get a sponsor to send her water. he does not. katniss is confused by this momentarily before realizing that sponsor gifts are given only by absolute necessity. which means, if haymitch is silent, then katniss is closer to water than she thinks. a couple minutes of walking later and she finds the fresh water stream…
view shifting in the same way. haymitch is your team or the universe if you will. you’re katniss. the water is your dr. you might feel stuck and lost right now and might not know what the hell is going on or why you haven’t shifted yet but in a few short steps you’re gonna get to your water source!
persist. don’t give up when you’re right at the finish line.
no but like- real talk tho
the only way for you to know that manifesting is real, pure consciousness is real, shifting is real, astral projection is real, is if you actually be your own proof. you don't have to believe in success stories, cuz when you write yours there will be people who won't believe you anyway even when you proved yourself rightly (if u assume that ofc)
i've just realized how easy shifting is. like i can blink right now and open my eyes in my dr.
what the fuck.
I'm feeling an UNBEARABLE amount of longing for my DR rn I'm going to explode
Emma, my love, what do do when absolutely nothing is working, an honest question, you can be mean I don’t mind
okay. cards on the table. if absolutely nothing is working, you have two options:::::
double down. lock in, recalibrate, rewire your brain like a little mad scientist in a gothic novel. go full delulu, full “i have seen the truth and it is malleable.” assume the shift has already happened and let reality cough up the proof. gaslight your own perception like it’s an avant-garde art piece.
let go. completely. stop trying, stop forcing, stop thinking about it like a problem to solve. go touch some grass (not metaphorically. literally. go outside. make physical contact with nature). let shifting become background noise instead of your entire existence. paradoxically, this is when things start clicking. like when you stop staring at a word and suddenly you remember how to spell it.
but !!!! if you’re in that horrible restless limbo, where you feel like you can’t let go but pushing harder isn’t doing anything either, my real answer is.......... switch things up. do something new, something fun, something so completely out of character that it shocks your system. make a new playlist, change your routine, wear something weird, eat something you’ve never had before. trick your brain into loosening its grip on the “stuck” feeling. you are not actually stuck. you are just circling the same neural pathways over and over again. step sideways. shift diagonally. watch what happens.
and also wise words from anon
omg thank you :D !!! this definitely resonates and is lowkey motivating me…
hello !!! i hope you are doing well !
i wanted to participate in your vday readings, i thought it would be really fun. and gosh it was so hard to choose what to ask but i’ve narrowed it down to these two for my vampire diaries DR and my (planned) s/o is damon ~

first of all woaaaaaaaaah an entire major arcana spread ૮꒰´°`⑅꒱ა ,,, that's letting me know immediately that your relationship is a very very passionate , fiery relationship
i made a little list with tropes and the cards i paired with them and shuffled & the world card came up first which was the “opposites attract” trope and it worked as confirmation , because even before i started your reading i was getting the vibe that you’re human in your dr and , well , he’s a vampire ANBABAHSDFBAJSF
not only that but the cutesy pfp you have made me think of my fave ever ever trope dynamic where like one partner looks all sweet and like a living , breathing angel and the other is like . . . here's one of my favourite artworks to demonstrate the point i'm trying to make T T like person a is very angel-esque and person b looks like they crawled out from the underworld pairing LOLLLLASDFIAKDJF
i'm ngl when i saw the tower card i jumped ໒꒰ྀི ╥﹏╥ ꒱ྀིა momentarily considered putting it back and reshuffling , but decided against it bc it’s the card that popped up when i asked for clarity so i was like fuck it man we ball T T i don't get the feeling that it’s in its negative connotation here because it’s clarifying the jedgement card , i mostly feel that it's telling the story that your friends warned against being with him because of his general . . . disposition ꒰ like we both know how he comes off like first impression wise ໒꒰ྀི × ˕ ×。꒱ྀི১ ꒱
and i feel like the aforementioned difference between you is why the people around you were wary when you expressed your affections for him bc they were like huh ??? you’re a sweetheart and he’s so . . . damon 💀💀💀 but dw user fruitswrl . . . i get the appeal ,, i see you and you see me LAMAJNDIFJIKJF
꒰ off topic ,, but i love it when this happens !!!! i feel like I’m being validated with my train of thought bc as i'm going on abt the stark difference between the two of you " the cowgirl and the dandy " by miss dolly parton starts playing 🤭🤭🤭🤭 ꒱
with the hierophant placed beside the tower card , i get the feeling that he changes a lot on how you look at life in general . he changes a few misconceptions you have about the vampiric lifestyle , changes how you view him from the first impression you had of him , etc . etc .

the first thing he noticed about you is how generally unafraid you are of him 😭😭 like i’m sure he’s used to people cowering before him when being introduced to him , but with you , you were almost nonchalant about it , like you did nawwwwwt gaf LMAIAISIFJAI
idk why i’m getting this idea that like he tried to intimidate you / make you shiver your timbers , but you just blinked at him like . . . okay ??? . . . anyway . . . 😭😭😭😭😭😭 that’s a very rare thing for him to experience so it like stuck out to him pffftttt
with the very authoritative energy of both the emperor and king of swords , it’s something that genuinely he still thinks back to long long after you two get together , like he’s so stumped like how were you so chill ?? is he not as intimidating as he thinks ?? LMAIOOOOAJSDAJSDH
꒰ another off topic comment , but before i even shuffled the playlist i have for these reading , i was thinking of smooth operator by sade and i was like " huh weird okay . . . " AND LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF ME READING YOUR CARDS IT PLAYS JSJAAJAJAJ mind you this playlist has like 90 different songs so i think that was v silly asdsjhfjkadf ꒱
on the topic of smooth operator , i get the feel like you weren’t fazed by his charms , like it ties in to the whole unaffected and not scared of him thing i mentioned ,,, like maybe he tried to rizz you up and you were like ummm . . alrighty . . o_o ꒰ even though you were or weren't internally screaming shahahaahdfja you just didn’t let it show outwardly at first ꒱
songs that may resonate w/ your dr relationship ⏦゚♡︎ ࿐all mine by brent faiyaz ࿐smooth operator by sade ࿐cowgirl & the dandy by dolly parton ꒰ peak song btw . . . love this song with my heart LOLLL ꒱
• Perhaps the reason you haven't shifted yet is because you're spending more time scrolling through posts and daydreaming about your desired reality, rather than truly dedicating yourself to the practices that will bring you closer to it.
