reminder that you can shift anytime, anywhere, under any condition. it doesn’t matter if you’re exhausted, if you’re spiralling, if you’ve just remembered an email you forgot to send and now you’re in a fugue state of regret. it doesn’t matter if you’ve put shifting on a pedestal so high it’s getting altitude sickness (even then, a pedestal is just a glorified step stool. kick it over. nothing is above you, nothing is out of reach), or if your brain is complied of intrusive thoughts and mental white noise. you could be in a grocery store queue, on a sinking ship, in the middle of a hostage negotiation. and could still shift.
people love a reason why not. alas, the conditions are not set in stone. they never were. consciousness is liquid gold. it seeps through cracks, it adapts. you don’t need the stars to align. you don’t need the perfect night, the perfect mood, the perfect silence. you need exactly what you already have... a mind.
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.
Ok so idk if this is a stupid question, but if someone could answer that be really great.
How do people shift accidentally? Like I’ve seen a handful of people talk about how they shifted to some place without intending to. And I’m not saying I don’t think you can do that, I just want to understand how you could shift your awareness to a place you weren’t intending to.
I wrote this when I was high last night
Choose a color. Pink or black? Say it out loud.
You just shifted realities. You became aware of the reality where you chose (p/b), and that's what you projected.
Now, as humans, we think we have to work in order to get something. Like, you might think you shifted realities because you said (p/b). However, you thought it first. You shifted when you decided to change your projection and set your intention to experience the reality where you said (p/b). In this way, we shift subconsciously 24/7.
Hope this helps somebody!
fuck this i'm already in my dr i just have to go to sleep and wake up there

shifting diary entry #13
if someone has any advice please share. i could really use it.
yes, this is my billionth post about this topic, but it keeps happening so what is a girl to do……..
i am always dreaming of shifting. dreams of me thinking i’ve shifted, dreams about my reality’s, dreams of my s/o….. and it’s honestly just getting to a point of frustration and pain. like i physically feel this just absolute gut wrenching pain bc of my longing to be somewhere else. i feel sick. no matter what i do it feels like some sick and twisted game my mind is playing.
even last night i had a dream about shifting and my s/o. from what i remember i was standing in a school gymnasium with a group of people. for reasons i don’t know/can’t remember, a panther of sorts was now there and someone was just having their villain monologue moment and i’m not really sure what they were on about. what i do know is i started to panic, i was told or just somehow knew that this creature would harm vampires….. so i went searching the room for my s/o to get him out of there. i remember feeling so scared, even more so when i found him in the crowd. i told him that we needed to go, now. i basically started dragging him out of there. at a certain point he just picked me up and started saying to me “ it’s okay, it’s okay my love, it’s nice to be chosen. ” ( crying and throwing up btw ) and it was just such a vivid dream, his voice in my ear and him brushing the tears off my face….. then a thought popped into my mind as he carried me out of there, what if i shifted rn, in this moment ? i remember feeling a bit frightened but it just washed away bc he was just comforting me….. and my hands were in his hair and he was whispering and the next thing i knew i was just in another dream sequence and i just thought to myself that i almost shifted and i told my sister this in the dream???? SICK AND TWISTED EVERYBODY………..
and pretty soon after that i woke up and tbh i just started crying and it was so strange honestly and i couldn’t stop thinking that despite the fact the he was the one in danger he was consoling me :/
i just don’t know anymore, i don’t know what this means, i just don’t want to feel like this anymore. so if anyone has advice please share bc i don’t really talk to anyone about shifting other than my sister and she’s not a shifter…………… so she just kinda sits and stares at me while i talk.
𖥻 SPACE. just.. HELLO ?? we are literally a speck of dust in a ginormous cosmic playground that we can’t even fully explore because we’re too busy figuring out if cats can vibe to beethoven or if that godforsaken dress is white or blue. you think THIS is the only reality? somewhere out there, there’s a planet where the sky is pink, dogs talk, and you’re riding unicorns. shifting is NOT a crazy concept.
𖥻 DINOSAURS. THEY. WERE. REAL. like actual dragons without wings, stomping around, acting like they owned the place. if THAT can exist, why not shifting ? you think the universe peaked at “giant chickens with teeth”? no way. reality is way too wild for limits.
𖥻 DÉJÀ VU. EXPLAIN IT WITHOUT THE MULTIVERSE. I DARE YOU. why do we randomly feel like we’ve been here before, done this before, or even said this before? because we HAVE. somewhere, somewhen, sometime. you’re already living proof of infinite realities brushing shoulders.
𖥻 QUANTUM PHYSICS (4 da nerdies). scientists out here with their schrödinger’s cats and double-slit experiments proving that reality isn’t fixed. it’s ALL probabilities until you observe it.
𖥻 YOU'RE HUMAN. our brains are INSANE. dreams? lucid dreams? daydreaming? thinking of a time and feeling like you just tasted it? if your brain can already do ALL THAT, shifting is just another level. literally just....closing your eyes and opening them in another place.
𖥻 YOU'RE ALREADY DOING IT. every time you daydream or even think “what if,” you’re stepping closer to a version of yourself in another reality. you're peeking through the multiverse’s window. shifting is just diving in instead of peeking.
𖥻 YOUR DESIRES EXIST. if you can imagine it, it exists somewhere. that’s not wishful thinking; that’s logic. where do ideas come from if not from infinite possibilities? you’re not just dreaming—you’re remembering. nothing goes by you without a purpose. if it found you, it was supposed to !!!!!!!
𖥻 THE MANDELA EFFECT. remember when pikachu definitely had a black tail tip, or when the berenstain bears were called the berenSTEIN bears? reality’s already glitchy as fuck. shifting? just another glitch—but YOU’RE IN CONTROL.
𖥻 FAIRYTALES HAD TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE. you think someone just WOKE UP and said, “dragons, magic castles, enchanted forests!” no. no. no. those stories? they’re just whispers from realities where that’s NORMAL. you’re not making it up—you’re tuning in. experiencing it. liviiiiiiiing it.
𖥻 TIME IS FAKE. i said it. not to get too conspiratorial on my tumblr blog, but what even IS time? a straight line? a wibbly-wobbly thingy? we made clocks, but the universe? the universe is, like, “what is a ‘tuesday’?” shifting doesn’t care about time; it’s above all that silly nonsense. and so are you.
𖥻 PARALLEL UNIVERSE ARE A THING ('n' SCIENCE effing SAID SO). quantum mechanics already told us there’s an infinite number of realities where every possibility plays out. in one of them, you’re already living your best life. shifting is just YOU popping in to say hi to THAT version of you.
𖥻 REALITY IS (lowkey) BORING WITHOUT BELIEF. why settle for “this is it. this is my life. a 9-5 job. a life which i barely live out” when the multiverse is basically screaming, “come explore!!” ? you’re a creator. you’re a wanderer.
𖥻 "I FEEL IT" IS ENOUGH. don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. if you can close your eyes and feel that DR, the love, the magic, the LIFE—you’re already there. the multiverse doesn’t need proof; it needs belief. so don't let idiots with half a brain on tik tok tell you that you're wrong, when you're so, so, so, so, SOOOO close to BEING THERE and living your best life.
𖥻 finally, LITERALLY, WHY NOT ? life’s already bananas. people thought flying was impossible, and now we’re out here booking ryanair flights to halfway across the world. people said sex with robots isn't true, and kim k is already siting on a robot's lap. people said the government cannot be stupid, and elon musk is already part of it. shifting is just the next “impossible” (and not to be cheeky...but the word literally has 'i'm possible' in it) thing that YOU are proving possible.
so. girl. dude. diva. bro. go shift.
WHOS READY TO SHIFT TN?
things that won't stop you from shifting
꒰ putting your dr on a pedestal , does not exist. it is not some glass castle suspended in the ether. it is a place like any other, as accessible as a room you haven’t walked into yet.
꒰ fantasising about your dr , does not matter. your brain is not a courtroom and you are not on trial for thought crimes. imagining a place does not exile you from it.
꒰ not knowing everything about your dr , won't impact. you do not need to be a historian of your own life. you do not need to have memorised the census records and economic structures of a world you are simply in.
꒰ being too attached to your dr , does not ruin it. urgency does not dismantle possibility. the sky does not fold in on itself every time someone desperately wants rain.
꒰ not being "calm enough" , no one is breathing monkishly through their nose 24/7. you are not required to be an unmoved river stone. people shift after a long day at work. people shift mid-existential crisis. it is not yoga, it is not meditation, it is a thing that happens when it happens.
꒰ doubting yourself from time to time , irrelevant. you do not need to pass a faith test. you do not need to be baptised in unwavering conviction. you just need to assume. doubt is a background noise, not a locked door.
꒰ external validation , unnecessary. your reality is not waiting for someone else to confirm its legitimacy. you do not need a jury of peers nodding solemnly at your experiences. this is not an academic dissertation. you do not need footnotes and sources and a professor’s approval.
꒰ "trying too hard" , not a thing. effort does not push it further away. want does not make it shy away. this is not an uncatchable fish. this is not a paradox where wanting something too much means you will never have it.
꒰ failing to shift multiple times , irrelevant. past attempts do not predict future outcomes. you are not an athlete counting losses. you are not a gambler on a losing streak. every attempt is new. every moment is unburdened by the weight of the last one.
꒰ an inconsistent sleep schedule , doesn’t matter. you are not being graded on your circadian rhythm. shifting does not belong exclusively to people with 8 hours of uninterrupted rem.
꒰ using multiple shifting methods , neutral. you are not hexing yourself by switching it up. they are not magic spells, they are just tools. they are ways to organise your approach, not laws of the universe.
꒰ shifting while sick or in pain , possible. you do not need to be in peak physical condition. you are not signing up for a marathon, you are existing. bodies exist in all states. you are allowed to exist in all states.
꒰ not “feeling close” to shifting , doesn’t mean anything. shifting is not a feeling to be unlocked. you do not need to sense it coming like a change in the weather. it does not always announce itself.
꒰ having trouble visualising , won’t stop you. not everyone sees things like a movie in their head. imagination is not just images. it’s thoughts, impressions, instincts. a blind person can shift. a person with aphantasia can shift.
꒰ not affirming constantly , does not matter. you do not need to chant like a monk or plead sweet nothings into the void 24/7.
꒰ being distracted mid-shifting attempt , not fatal. you are not required to have monk-like focus. people shift thinking about their homework. people shift thinking about dinner. people shift thinking about absolutely nothing at all.
꒰ not having a specific shifting method , does not stop you. people shift lying down. people shift sitting up. people shift standing. people shift in moving cars. you do not need a formula to do something natural.
i wrote this while drinking cola. pepsi cola. the lana sentiment. the grant holy water. the tear drops of angels, if you wish. ANYWAY, do enjoy. inspired by: @/ironrea, her post is serene!! ultraviolence (the album), & richard siken's piece "anyway" .
s/o motivation! or things to script because i don't know how to label anything.
i. they'll catch you staring at them in a quiet moment, and instead of looking away, they just smile, slow and sure, like they already knew.
ii. they'll let you warm your hands against the back of their neck, laughing at the chill but not pulling away.
iii. they'll need to feel the weight of your presence to remember how to breathe.
iv. they'll be devoted to you, just like church is to god, just like the lamb is to the shepherd, just like faith is to the believer lost in doubt.
v. they'll see the way you close your eyes when the sun hits just right, like it’s a moment just for you, and they'll wonder if they're allowed to share it with you.
vi. they'll look at you when you think they're not watching—from across the room, in the glow of a traffic light, through the blurry reflection of a dirty mirror—like they're afraid to be caught loving you this much (they aren't).
vii. they'll whisper your name like it's the answer to a question they don't know how to ask.
viii. when you write your name on fogged windows, they'll try to read their future in it.
ix. when you're getting ready to go out, they'll wait at the door, keys in hand, watching you tie your shoes, smiling a little, because they love the way you double-knot them.
x. they'll stand behind you when you're looking in the mirror, watching your reflection instead of their own, like they only see themselves in the way you see them.
xi. when you look at them, just for a second, they’ll think it's the first time anyone has ever seen them.
