*Me waking up in my dr and crying when i realize i finally shifted*
“What’s wrong, you had a nightmare?”
Me: It was a quite long and awful nightmare.
Shifting showed me the will to live a thousand lives, when I didn't even have the strength to live one
how it feels like to lose both of my (internet) best friends i had for years
it’s okay to permashift
it’s okay to use a faceclaim
it’s okay to shift for romance
it’s okay to doubt shifitng
it’s okay to take breaks
it’s okay to not have a script
Idk if I've talked about this before, but I saw someone post about why people who have been trying to shift for so long might not be shifting (this might not apply to everyone, but it really clicked with me). They only explained why, so I'm gonna talk about the solution I came up with.
They specifically said that it was not tough love, but psychological facts: it's possible that your mind registers shifting as a goal in THIS reality.
Think about that for a second. This is the part that really got me when I started to think about it. When you are here, in your CR, your goal is to shift, right? So what if our minds interprets that as a goal IN THIS REALITY, as simple as going to bed thinking "oh, I'm going to unload the dishwasher in the morning." Because shifting is just aligning with your DR self, and guess what?? Your goal in your DR is not to shift! That blew up my brain a little bit.
"But i want to shift" you know how everyone keeps saying "you are already in your DR"? I interpreted that for so long as motivation. It's not. It's the process. To align with your DR self, just like aligning with another person in your CR you have to have the same goals.
So your goal is no longer to shift. Stop thinking like that. Your goal IS NOT TO SHIFT. Waking up where you are meant to has never been a goal, but an expectation. Your goal is to wake up and go downstairs to have breakfast with your DR friends or family. Your goal is to wake up and get to class on time to ace that Defence Against The Dark Arts quiz you totally forgot to study for until the night before. Your goal is to wake up and win that Oscar, to break that curse, destroy the One Ring, you fucking name it babes.
I don't know if this is really dumb and obvious, but it wasn't for me before, so I really hope this post helps someone else too.

I'm back bitches (kinda)
i mean absolutely noooo disrespect but shiftok has affected me and my mind is trying to tell me im schizophrenic and crazy for believing shifting is real. i need some reassurance on this HELP.ME
let’s start with understanding what schizophrenia is. its a serious mental health condition that affects how people think, feel and behave. it may result in a mix of hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking and behavior. hallucinations involve seeing things or hearing voices that aren't observed by others.
what does science know about hallucinations? you cannot consciously choose what you hallucinate; hallucinations are involuntary experiences that occur due to underlying causes.
what do we know about shifting? you choose what to live. it’s not an hallucination, and goes against everything what an hallucination is. also, listen to people affected by schizophrenia talk about their hallucinations, and then at a shifter about their life in dr. you don’t see hallucinations like we see reality. also, shifters (who don’t have schizophrenia) still have organised thinking and behaviour and do not show any symptoms.
also, how can you live, for example, seven months in your dr when in your cr it’s only few minutes? even for people with schizophrenia, time itself remains linear during hallucinations. so, if you are hallucinating your dr for 5 months….. why in your cr it’s not five months later when you came back? why people around you noticed absolutely nothing when you are in your dr? shifters who have shifted would have been in a mental hospital if they were hallucinating all of that.
people who diagnose shifters with true mental health conditions know nothing about those conditions. its not only disrespectful, but just ignorant.
You’re not stuck in this reality.
Have you ever heard of someone who shifted to their DR and couldn’t shift back to their OR?
No!
Shifting back to your OR is easy because you know it’s easy, you know you can’t get stuck.
All reality’s are the same value, one of them isn’t just easier to shift to. You can just as easily shift to your DR as shifitng back to your OR.
SHIFTING IS SO EASY, GO SHIFT!!!
Manifested my desired tablet With SATS. So grateful but I'd rather shift . its gonna be useful for scripting though. I gotta Work on My beliefs and mindset
