Me When I See Shifter Still Caring About What Anti Shifters Think

How I shifted after 4 years ✦

╚═══✿═|

This is a sideblog for obvious reasons. 2 days ago I shifted to my WR for the first time in 4 years and it felt so weird not to tell anyone so i am making this post.

I found out about shifting in 2020 like most people and have been trying pretty consistantly since. I was pretty skeptical at first but eventually warmed up to and ever since that i don’t think a day went by that i didn’t think about it.

When i shifted, I was on a break from consuming all Shifting/LOA related media. The reason for this was because i felt that i already knew everything, nothing i read was new information to me and I felt like I actually needed to discipline myself and apply what I learnt. Everytime I had a question or doubt, I realised i literally already knew the answer, but i still kept looking around for posts on reddit/tumblr/tiktok about it to “boost” my motivation and help me. At some point, i said enough is enough, i had been stagnant for 4 years doing this same old routine so i had to stop, discipline myself and apply it.

I basically went cold turkey on any LOA/Shifting content.

It was a bit difficult at first, i kept getting urges to go back to the tags and read posts about shifting bla bla , but i just kept reaffirming to myself that i had already shifted and i didn’t need to anymore. In the night, before i slept, i would think as i was in my DR. I visualised, i planned my day(even the mundane things), I talked to myself. The important things was I wasn’t doing all of this TO GET to my WR. I was already there after all. I was doing this to enjoy the feelings and really immerse myself in the moment. After doing this for like 3 days, one night I was doing the exact same thing and fell asleep. When I woke up I was in my WR.

It was literally the most euphoric feeling of my life. Nothing can ever beat it, all the time you spent persisting gets paid off in a second. My WR is really personal to me, so I won’t go into to much detail about it, its just a cozy little place where I can relax and chill out. I was there for 4 days and when I was ready to leave, I laid down to sleep in my WR and intended to wake up in my CR. It worked like a charm and I woke up here. Shifting back is just as surreal as waking up there IMO. Luckily for me, I didn’t have anything the day i shifted back so i spent the day processing what the hell had just happened. I honestly thought of telling my friend, but she genuinly would have thought i was crazy so i didn’t.

To end of the post, I am just going to end off with some tips:

learn the law of assumption in regards to shifting. One creator I really like is Petercawkwell on tiktok. I know he’s a bit controversial but the advice and his understanding of LOA is solid

Once you understand the law in regards to shifting you have apply it. Be disciplined and try not to fall into the same old habits

Don’t put shifting on a pedestal, I know this seems annoying but don’t see it as some big far off thing that is unacheiveable. Shifting and Manifesting are the same thing and you do it all the time.

Don’t overcomplicate it - its as simple as assuming and persisting in the assumption.

Go straight to the end - This might be an unpopular take but I see alot of tumblr talking about the void when it comes to shifting. You don’t need it. You don’t need to first manifest “pure consciousness” then use that to manifest a shift. Go straight to the end which is assuming your in your cr/dr wherever the hell it is you want to be. You don’t need to add extra steps to your desire.

Anyways, I just had to get this all out somewhere, I hope you guys like it.

you're making shifting hard

shifting is not hard. you're making it seem that way.

i used to struggle with this so much. like, i knew the law of assumption. i knew that shifting and manifesting were the same thing. i knew that reality is just my assumptions reflected back to me.

but for some reason, every time i tried to just decide i was in my DR, it felt... different.

i could easily say, "i have blue eyes," and it felt normal, even if my eyes were brown. but the second i tried to say, "i'm in my DR," my brain would go: "hmm... but are you really?" and suddenly, i'd be analyzing everything, waiting for proof, wondering if i was doing it right.

and that's where i messed up.

i was placing shifting on a pedestal

i thought shifting was bigger than other manifestations. i thought it was different. but the truth? there is no such thing as a "big" or "small" manifestation. that's literally just a label. it's an assumption.

if i assume it's "harder" to shift than to change my eye color, then guess what? that assumption becomes my reality. but if i assume they're both the same, just decisions, then shifting becomes just as easy as saying, "i have blue eyes."

checking for proof was my biggest block

the second i decided i was in my DR, i'd immediately start checking, even subconsciously.

do i feel different?

did something change?

am i there yet?

and by doing that, i was literally affirming that i wasn't there. because if i truly believed i was in my DR, why would i be checking?

like, when i wake up in the morning, i don't sit there and check if i'm still in my reality. i don't look around thinking, "is this my bed? is this my house?" i just assume it is. and because i assume it, that's what i experience.

that's exactly how shifting works.

deciding = reality

at some point, i realized i was overcomplicating everything. i was acting like shifting was some grand process, when in reality, it's literally just deciding. and once i decide, that's it. i don't need to do anything else.

when i say, "i have blue eyes," i don't sit there waiting for them to change. it just accept it as true.

when i say, "i am already in my DR," i should do the exact same thing. just accept it and move on.

no forcing. no waiting. no "trying." just knowing.

the secret? stop making it a big deal

shifting is not this rare, complicated thing.

it's not "bigger" than any other manifestation. it's not something you have to work toward. it's just a decision. and the only reason it feels different is because you assume it is.

so i stopped treating it like a big deal. i stopped looking for proof. i stopped acting like it was something separate from normal manifesting. and the moment i did that? everything clicked.

so if you're struggling...

stop checking if it's working.

stop waiting for proof and validation.

stop placing shifting on a pedestal.

just decide. accept. move on.

you're already there. that's it. no doubts, no second-guessing. just be.

why you should get off social media if you want to shift.

before you scroll away, i want to challenge all of you to read all of this. this is one of my longest blog posts ive ever made with over 1,000 words. if you can or can’t make it through the whole post, please let me know how far you’ve gotten in the comments below. you’ll get a surprise at the end 🥳 !

social media isn’t an inherently bad thing. however, outside & inside of the shifting community social media (specially tiktok) has been shown to effect our attention span. this shows in my comment sections on my longer tumblr posts that i also share on tiktok, such as this one, when people say things like “im not reading all of that” or “can someone summarize” also “what method should i use” and “why am i not shifting”.

let’s start with the basics of shifting. shifting attempts need some kind of focus; an affirmation, a visualization, some sort of task like counting. if you’re someone who struggles to focus, you will struggle to learn how to meditate or any hobby or task you’re tying to accomplish. all shifting methods are is a meditation. while no, you don’t need a method, I would make the argument learning how to meditate & focus your attention to what you are trying to manifest is an important part of shifting. if social media creates an instant dopamine reward without little effort, the appeal of shifting seems less. this is why i think a lot of people actually like thinking about shifting & creating content for it rather then doing it — because trying to shift requires some level of work without instant reward even if it’s as simple as laying down & setting intention.

if you try to shift & you wake up in your cr still, that isn’t as exciting when comparing it to the idea of shifting. rather, if you post an edit or a video about your dr you will receive a dopamine hit through video interaction (comments, likes, how social media platforms are set up in general). even maladaptive daydreaming can fall into this category to some. the interest in attempting to shift dies because we feel like we aren’t gaining anything from it when that’s not true. when laying down & attempting to shift, we are meditating & training the brain to focus on what we desire most: we’re correcting our attention span.

social media destroys the ability to focus & what we focus on & give our attention to allows room for that desire to grow, to become reality. if we’re always so overwhelmed with information & have so much to stress about, it’s important to recognize what we consume & how it effects our mood & mental health & how it can sometimes delay our manifestations. im not saying you have to be positive all the time, but we’re exposed to so much that it’s important to check in with yourself every once in a while. this can be where shifting content comes into play vs non shifting content. think demotivation, you don’t look for it, it just appears. & how many times have you opened tiktok to look something up to only be distracted by a completely unrelated video that automatically started playing ?

what i mean is people are telling you what shifting is, what works for them (which you could register subconsciously & believe that’s a step by step guide), rather then self discovery. people are telling you what shifting is, how to do it, what to think, what to script, what method you need to do, even if they say “this may not apply to everyone” because of how it’s being presented & spoken about. the said popularity of a method or definition may also come into play & feeling like something has to be right or work because other people align with it. its like math class, the teacher shows you one way to solve a problem then says “your allowed to use your own methods” & shows you one example of it then goes back to using the original method in class that you don’t understand.

another reason is opinions. when being shown so many people speaking on shifting & their thoughts it can be overwhelming. it’s a great thing so many people are willing to talk about their experiences in their desired reality or want to share their personal breakthroughs & opinions on what shifting is, it can be confusing. while everything i just listed is well intended, leaning about shifting through places like tiktok & not venturing out & doing your own research — or just searching methods online & trying it yourself while going in blind — it takes away self discovery.

so, how do we learn about shifting ?

when i say get off of social media, i don’t exactly mean all social media. yes, all of these things happen across the internet but the difference with tiktok is that the fyp isn’t so prominent. this of course also applies to other feeds that are generated, but a lot of the shifting community is ok tiktok so im using the most known example. it’s important to search & decide what information you consume & seek out rather then being told something without stopping to think for yourself. you want the chance to be able to create your own thoughts. your own unique thoughts you have about things make them personal & your own beliefs become stronger when you realize things on your own. it’s more satisfying that way.

places like reddit & searching for questions you specifically have so you don’t have ten more questions shoved in your that you didn’t have before that cause you added worry or unnecessary fear is helpful to keep in mind.

there is room for grey area. not everything needs to be black & white. there should be no consciousness vs multiverse theories because two things can both be true at once. Ike thing doesn’t have to be against something, you don’t have time pick a side. it’s all theory & hypothetical. it’s okay that we 100% don’t know (& will probably never know) what shifting truly is. not everything needs to be discovered to preform it “correctly”. you don’t need to be a master at painting to paint, you don’t need to know how paint brushes are crafted or how canvas is stretched to preform, anyone can sit & learn as they create their first & second & tenth piece. even people who have painted & sold their artwork for millions, don’t know the great’s techniques. they know pieces of them & take what works & discards what doesn’t serve them.

this post isnt to negate any of the good social media has done or sound like my mom & preaching about how social media destroys your brain…but i think we should be mindful of what we consume & how it makes us feel & if we’re speaking for ourselves or parroting others words. there are so many great people & advice out there & im not trying to take away from that. i just think taking a moment to stop & digest what we’re seeing is healthy. this blog post has been a long time coming but i know a lot of people wouldn’t want to hear it. i can promise you, you are more addicted then you think — myself included. i just don’t wake you guys to look back in 10 years & have spent more then half of that looking at a screen when there’s so much life to be lived. i don’t want social media to take away from what we are all here for which when we come down to it is living. shifting is literally wanting to experience life & i can’t help but find it ironic that this is the opposite of everything we wish to accomplish through this practice.

please take care of yourselves. much love.

surprise :) congrats you made it ! here’s your digital slice of cake ! 🍰

If this is not a sign for you to shift today then idk

I SHIFTED?? I SHIFTED THIS NIGHT??? I??? SHIFTED??? THIS?? NIGHT???????? WHATS GOING ON WHATS GOING ON

satoru gojo can’t wait for you to have his last name

your boyfriend, satoru, who insists that you should have his last name already even though you're very early on in your relationship. he’s just that confident that the two of you will get married, he's madly in love with you and plans to spend the rest of his life with you, and he can’t wait for the day you become his forever.

“but toru, we’re not even married. isn’t it too early for that?” confused, you ask him. but he just grins and wraps his arms around your waist.

"well, not yet. but we're getting married anyways so the sooner the better. right, love?" you blush at his words. he, satoru gojo, the love of your life, has basically just announced that he's marrying you, and you can't be any happier.

"gojo y/n. i like the sound of that!" you giggle the moment satoru refers to you like that, it has a lovely ring to it that you find so endearing. so now you can't wait to marry this man and officially carry his last name.

Lumpiang Toge....

Has anyone else thought of this....? No? Just me?

This has been on my mind for years why hasn't anyone brought it up

Shifting is guaranteed. I know you hear a lot of people say this, but it truly is. Nothing can stop you from shifting, not even death. The moment you found shifting and decided you want to do it, you already did. There's no hurry, no rush, you just have to wait for it to be reflected into the 3d. And it's 100% sure that it will, so sit back, get yourself a drink (coffee) and watch it come to you!

YEEUP‼️‼️⁉️⁉️

He's suchhhhh boyfriend material

They embarrass him
