setting intention (for shifting), a rundown

what is setting intention?

setting intention is telling yourself you will do something. essentially making a plan to carry out a specific action. for example, maybe before class i want to buy a coffee. so when i go to bed the day before, i say to myself "oh tommorow i'll buy a coffee before my class". and the next day before class, i have that reminder in the back of my head — to get coffee, and so i carry it out, and get coffee before class.

to put it another way: let's say youre invited to a party. the party is a few days away, but throughout the days leading up to the party — you buy a gift for the party host, you pick out an outfit to wear, you do your makeup the day of the party, etc etc. by doint all of that; you're setting the intention to attend the party for days leading up to it.

setting intention isn't complicated, we do it 24/7 without realizing. when you say you're going to do something, even something as simple as brushing ur teeth or showering — and then you do it, you're setting intention and carrying it out.

so, how do you set the intention to reality shift?

surely if you could just walk into your dr the same way you can walk into your bathroom and brush your teeth, you would do it right? well... you literally can, a lot of you have just been taught otherwise.

in the beginning of your shifting journey, im sure you heard about the raven method or something similar. im sure creators have told you "you must lay in starfish position and count to 100 or else it won't work". and while methods within themselves aren't necessarily bad or holding you back — the way you complete the method and view it, is.

i think a lot of you go into methods, thinking that completing the steps will make you shift, when really — it's the intention of the method outcome that gets you what you want.

put it this way: when you count to 100, say ur affirmations, etc. are you doing it with the intention to shift once the task is completed? or are you doing it thinking that counting will push you into your dr?

setting intention = something you plan to do. not something you might do, not a possible outcome, something you have a set plan to complete/achieve. saying affirmations or counting with the HOPE of it MAKING you shift, sounds pretty useless — because you're not actually planning to do it. you're not being stubborn enough. youre not persistent, you're simply hoping that when you say 100 you'll shift. but you need to KNOW it will. (if that's the method ur using.. this is just an example)

once again, put it this way: when i say "im going to get coffee after class". would it make sense for me to sit there and hope i go and get a coffee? girl what? no, of course not. im the one who has to make the decision, to get up and go and get the coffee. you're the one who has to make the decision you will shift and persist in it no matter what. intention has to be there no matter what.

to put it into a loa perspective for those manifesting they shift with ease, when you manifest something — you also intend. you think of a desire you want, you intend to manifest it, and then you carry out that intention by persisting in the belief that it is yours. see how simple the concept is?

so, how do you practice setting intention? how do you know you're actually intending?

now, this next part sounds like a process, and it usually is. most people spread reprogramming your mind out between a couple days, maybe even a week. but do not attack me for this.. you guys always complain you've been trying to shift for years! you constantly ask me for challenges or tips on how to shift/reprogram ur brain. so if a few days of this seems like too much work, don't do it. i'm not saying you have to. but remember youve spent so many years *hoping* you'll shift. what's a few more days reprogramming ur mind to work in your favour and in the end, *know* you will shift?  

i can't lie or sugar coat it, a lot of you are still in this 2020 shifting mindset where everything is over complicated. but you need to remember these circumstances don't matter, your mind,life,beliefs,etc can always be altered to benefit you. and that's what my goal with telling you this is, to help you take those steps into actually believing.

practice intention by focusing on your everyday actions before carrying them out. for example, before you shower — affirm "im going to shower" a few minutes before you actually do. just like how your subconscious manifests things by accepting repeated thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions as true. When you consistently repeat basic intentions like “I’m going to shower,” you’re training your subconscious to respond automatically to your commands. this builds trust between your conscious and subconscious mind, making it easier for your subconscious to accept things you've been taught to view as hard or unrealistic (such as reality shifting). This practice strengthens your ability to shift because it reinforces the idea that what you say or assume will happen naturally. 

another strong intention i would recommend practicing to train your mind (and convince yourself you actually have the power to do these things) is intending to wake up at a certain time. for example, before u go to bed, and/or throughout the day : affirm "i will wake up at 5am tomorrow" or similar affirmations.

now, once you feel confident in your understanding of intention — simply use it the same way you did everything else. when you're ready to shift, set the intention. affirm: i will wake up in my dr, i will shift, or similar affirmations that align with YOUR intention. decide that you WILL shift, domt hope dont wish dont "try". KNOW you WILL do it no ifs ands or buts.

what do i do if i don't actually shift after setting the intention tho?

i know this question will be asked so im answering it before u have the chance to say it 🤣 but all i'll say is going back to the coffee analogy; if i wake up and set the intention to get coffee, but i go and they're all sold out. should i decide im never going to go to that coffee shop ever again? should i think the café is never ever gonna sell coffee again? no... that would be silly. so why would anyone do the same for shifting? sure it might be frustrating that they don't have the coffee since you decided you were going to get it. but once you go the next day, or maybe 2 days later, and they're no longer sold out. you get the coffee — and your frustration has passed. you don't erase the concept of coffee, you simply go again.

p.s. im writing this very quick in the car, so i apologize if there's spelling mistakes! please correct me if necessary

Imagine hating on me & I'm just in my room like

sometimes, shifting happens when you least expect it

reminding y’all again: my first shift was quite literally when i was doubting shifting the most & didn’t believe in myself at all. i got more negative over time. i was desperate but i was slowly letting go and thinking that maybe i was never meant to shift at all. i even saw people saying having these “blockages” would make me unable to shift, it was hard not to believe, there could not have been another explanation, right? i even told myself i could never shift!

boy was i WRONG

that night, i persisted in the little belief i had left. the belief that i knew was still there, because if it wasn’t i would’ve quit shifting a long time ago and never returned, but it draws me back in each time. it needs me.

i imagined myself in a parallel reality, intended to go there, rolled over, and went to sleep.

that very night, i shifted.

still think it’s hard now?

I swear to God if I get one more question like "Do you promise shifting is real? Do you promise it's not just hallucinations?" I am going to SCREAM.

YOU KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION LIKE THE ANSWER IS GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT.

YES SHIFTING IS 100% REAL. NO IT IS NOT HALLUCINATIONS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!

Think about all that we have done as humans. Think about math. Think about science. Think about literature. Why does shifting seem so impossible?

Significant other topic. I miss mine.

When I'm talking about mine, I'm not talking about his version of this reality where he's in a show. When I'm talking about mine, I'm not talking about the actor that plays as him in this reality. When I'm talking about mine, I'm not talking about his other versions where they're other people's significant other.

No, I miss MINE. The one I know, the ONLY version I know who is in my drs. There could be a room full of different versions of him who is other peoples s/o, yet I know that I will recognize mine and run to him immediately. He could be in a different body, different identity in another reality, I would still know it's him. Someone could share the same face as him, but I will know that they're not him.

Everytime I get jealous (which is completely okay and normal to feel) of people shifting for my significant other, I remember that I only truly love mine, not theirs. I could meet his other versions, and there is chance I wouldn't like them. I have seen edits of him, and sometimes I still don't FEEL like he's my s/o, because he's a different version of him in this reality. Similar, yes, I would most likely still care about other versions of him but he's still not him. And I can never get rid of mine out of my heart and head, no matter how similar they are, I only want mine.

I have other versions of myself in different realities who is not in love with him? Doesn't matter. I'm choosing this version of me, I'm choosing to shift to realities where I love him with every being of me. I promise myself that I will protect him in all realities I'll be in.

You could see someone shifting for your s/o and get jealous, but think for a second, would you choose someone's other version of them over yours?

COME BACK GOJO

satoru sits completely flabbergasted when his wife who’s into astrology confesses to him on his birthday that she pursued him not for his looks, wealth, or being the brazen woman he thought you were from the beginning when you were very adamant on going on a date with him ‘till he eventually relented. but because you found out when he was born, did the research, and learned the stars and planets dictated you and him were the perfect cosmic match.

there weren’t many things one could say or do that could make a man like gojo satoru’s jaw drop in disbelief, but his wife was capable of such a feat simply every time she opened her mouth.

you tilt your head up at his silence, and upon glancing at the hilarious expression on his face, you smile. “it’s okay, though! it all worked out in the end and i fell in love with you like the universe had planned.” and how could he be mad at that?

“I haven’t shifted yet.”

“It’s been 4 years, why haven’t I shifted yet?”

“I can’t shift.”

Stop. Just stop.

Take a deep breath and just stop.

Flip your thoughts right now. Every time you start to think any thought like this I want you to dismiss it and affirm something positive instead.

“I haven’t shifted-“ Actually, you have shifted.

“I can’t shift” Yes you can. You’re a master shifter.

Your assumptions create your reality. Right now you are living in the reality where your negative assumptions are correct. The second you change your negative assumptions and replace them with positive ones, you are living in the reality where the positive assumptions are correct. It is a choice. It’s your choice.

Let’s put it this way. You’re already choosing to persist in the negative thoughts. Is that working out for you? No. So choose to persist in the positive thoughts instead. Just try it. Watch how fast your shifting journey changes for the better. Trust me.
