The Reason Why Shifting Found You Is Because This Reality Was Not Made For You. You Know About Shifting

You can still shift with your doubts.

It's a common belief that to shift, you need to change your mindset. For many, the concept of shifting feels impossible, a radical departure from the ordinary life they've always known. "How can I make myself believe and know that I can do this if it's total madness?" "How can I change my mindset if I haven't seen anything extraordinary my whole life?"

Gaslight yourself? Try toxic positivity? No.

Instead of trying to force yourself to believe, try embracing your doubts. Add a simple "BUT" thought to them. For example, "This is all completely crazy. I don't know how to shift BUT I can still somehow do it." Or, "I'm desperate, BUT I can still shift. Even if not now, maybe it will happen later at a random moment."

The point is that you don't force yourself to change your beliefs, but you leave yourself the option to shift anyway. Accept your skepticism and your hope. It's like having a backup plan – you are allowing yourself to shift, even if you don't fully believe it yet.

This is similar to the concept of letting go of control and trusting in some mysterious Fate. "I don't believe in myself, I've tried everything and nothing works, BUT since I've learnt about shifting, I'll do it sooner or later. Fate will help me or something, I don't care, it will happen somehow." Embrace the possibility, even with your doubts, and let go. You can shift, even if you don't believe it yet.

I didn't think I would have to say this but I am obviously against transphobia, terfs do not interact. I can't believe that there's a terf shifting community. If you are a terf, transphobic, homophobic or have any bigoted ideology for that matter do not interact with me.

Y’know what I love about Shifting? The amount of times I’m gonna drag my Dr family and friends to come with me to attend Seventeen Concerts. Like, I know Meg’s and my twin brother dread it (but know I love Seventeen) when I mention my favourite group😭

　　　　things 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.　

how life feels knowing i have everything i want *ೃ༄

❀ i love knowing that my doubts cannot stop my desires from manifesting

❀ that no matter what, i have everything i want

❀ my life, my desires, they're all coming into fruition because i want them to

❀ as the wonderful and wise @hrrtshape said, "if you order coffee, you don’t sit there panicking with 'but do i feel like i have coffee??' no, you just know it’s coming."

❀ reality is mine to shape however i like. call me michelangelo.

I don’t know why but September kinda feeling like the month everyone shifts. I mean everyone, from the people who just discovered shifting to the people who have been doing this for 4 years or more. Everyone is shifting. Claim it. We’re all going home.

The vibes in my jjk reality

I tried, but it’s basically out of context and chaotic + us first years + curses yo

REMINDER.!

You do not fail until you give up!
