I want to shift so bad, specially because that's how I will be spending my first week there:

Lemme Make You Shift / Enter the Void

You know what’s really holding most people back from shifting or entering the void? It’s not some big block or missing affirmation. It’s the constant cycle of feeling stuck, pitying yourself, and then doing absolutely nothing to change it. And I get it....life gets overwhelming, things feel unfair, and you start believing the narrative that you’re just not “meant” for this. But take a step back for a second and really ask yourself: What am I doing every day to get closer to what I want? Be honest. Most people aren't actually doing anything. They're scrolling through posts hoping for a magical word or technique to save them. They romanticize the idea of shifting or the void, but when it comes to actually showing up for themselves...mentally, emotionally...they're not really there. Instead, they stay in the loop: I can't do this, Why does it work for others and not me?", "Maybe I’m not chosen." But guess what? You are. You already are. You just keep choosing the same thoughts, the same victimhood, and calling it reality. Oh please stop saying now "b-b-u-t I-I-I can't-t-t do-o-o th-i-i-i-s-s" sir/ma'am you can do everything... do you ever sit and think that you're the only one who can help you and what are you doing currently with your life...it's your decision if you want to change your life or not. Now many will say, "BUTTT SAYYYINGG THATTT ISSSS EASYYY FORRRR YOUUU" so lemme tell you, I was a person with High Anxiety and sometimes it was pretty difficult to control thing, but you're on your own kid! You have to manage it, and if it's still not manageable, pls seek professional help.

This isn’t to shame you...it’s to wake you up. You don’t need a new method. You need a new mindset. A decision. A real one. Decide that this is yours. That you’re done living from the place of it’s not working. That you’re done making excuses and waiting for something outside of you to change. Sit with yourself. Observe your patterns. Are you keeping yourself in the same loop because it's comfortable? Are you afraid of what happens when you do get everything you've been asking for? You don’t have to stay there. You’re not behind. You’re not broken. But you are responsible...for what you feed your mind, for what you expect, for how long you keep yourself in that cycle.

Let’s stop sleeping on ourselves!
