My method as a girl who’s shifted more times than she can count .
cute lil disclaimer, i do not believe methods can bring you to your dr on its own, but i do think they can help you get into a good place mentally when trying!
Also, my previous account was terminated, so if this looks familiar, it’s because it’s a repost (third repost to be exact…)
Last thing, if this doesn’t work for you, don’t fret . It probably just wasn’t your cup of tea, and that’s fine . Now, onto the method !
001. make a playlist . It doesn’t matter what songs you put, as long as they resonate with you/your dr, it’s fine . I recommend making a pretty lengthy playlist cause you’re gonna be there a while .
002. Close your eyes and meditate for a bit . Think about what you did that day in your cr, how you felt, what you smelt, doesn’t matter . let your mind roam freely about your cr , because this will be the last time you think about it for the rest of the method .
003. After a few songs, begin to count to 100 . It doesn’t matter how, just get to 100 . i typically count up with my breaths, but it doesn’t matter .
004. as you count, begin to affirm you are in your dr . say where you are, what your name is, what you’re currently doing, etc . “ i am in my dr.” “My name is.”
005. Now, once you’re done affirming, i want you to think exactly like your dr self . think about what you’re gonna do that day, who you’re gonna be with, what you’re gonna do, etc . speak in first person here . “I’m so excited to go to that bakery ___ was telling me about.” “Me and my mom ____.”
006. Sooo, by this point, you should be in your dr!
You can also make this an asleep method and just sleep as your saying where you are and what you’re doing !!
𝓽hings 𝓲 wish i knew before 𝓲 𝓼hifted (as a girl who shifts on command)
as a girl who’s shifted so many times she learned how to do it on command, i can say with confidence that there’s many things i wish i was told beforehand that neither shifttok or shiftblr talk about (warning, it’s a lot).
CUTE DISCLAIMER : these are things I wish I was told . If you do not agree, THATS FINE . this is just what i wish i was exposed too before my first shift that i think will help others like me . When i use “you” “you’re” pronouns, im talking to my pre-shift self in second person. i just feel like this can support others .
001. i would never look at life the same again .
imagine how it feels bringing your subconscious to another place for the first time and realizing you are infinite . everything everyone said was true . it was never just an ongoing tiktok joke, it was real . shit was hard to come to terms with . very hard .
of course, shifting for the first time was awesome, but coming back was… interesting . i looked at everything differently . i feel like shifters talk about what shifting for the first time was like and forget to include the “coming back confusion”
002. after getting used to it, the “spark” kinda goes away .
now i know what the rest of shiftblr is gonna say . “shifting is real!!! don’t romanticize it!!!!” and i completely agree, for this reason . before i shifted for the first time, ngl, i did lowk think in the back of my mind it was gonna be sunshine and rainbows . obviously, i was wrong .
it’s just like any other life on any other day on any other planet . unless you’re shifting to mars or some shit .
It’ll get boring . it’ll get sad . It’ll get irritating . and trust, shit will get real . but that’s just how life is . after i realized thats how life is, i kinda got like . huh .
it’s kinda like how it felt when you realized Santa wasn’t real . if that makes sense .
003. the real world is harsh .
as a girl who was never an actress, singer, dancer, model, guitarist, and songwriter in this reality, imagine my surprise when i saw that people would hate my acting/singing there ??? i scripted i was literally awesome ???? my discography is heavenly????? what ???? they aren’t even nice about it either .
be nice to celebrities!!!!!
004. you’re gonna start wanting to shift to a lot more “niche” drs after that .
soooo, you know how you’re shifting to be a student in hogwarts rn? well, you’re still gonna do that, but you might wanna be a lawyer in another dr now too . or maybe an alien from Saturn . or maybe a scientist who knows the secrets of the universe . or something .
after realizing you can explore every single reality out there, you start to want to experience new things in a more uncommon way . a way that other people probably won’t also be shifting there .
i mean . . . unless you have niche drs already . then like, fuck it, we ball .
005. you will have so many different relationships and dynamics and vibes with people you won’t know what to do .
after shifting, literally everything will remind you of either your cr, or your dr . you’ll remember an inside joke from your dr friend from a few years ago, and then in the same day cry about something your cr friend said while you’re in your dr .
it’s slightly almost kinda sorta maybe a little overwhelming at first, but you begin to get the hang of it as your dr is already something you’ve always known .
it’s fun, too . sometimes I’ll be out and see cute keychains and I’ll be like,”oh, (dr best friend) would’ve loved that.” you get a little homesick no matter where you are, but it’s almost comfortable, it that makes sense . because you know you’re gonna see them again, you already are .
— Can we just take a moment to discuss how life-changing shifting truly is? Your entire concept of the world changes, the limits you’ve known for so long begin to warp. You realize that the bars of the cage you’ve been confined to aren’t as solid as you perceived but rather, malleable.
people that are so staunchly anti-shifting have to be such negative people. do you hate the concept of joy, magic, and fun that much???? you're not even willing to entertain the idea?? you've never self-inserted?? buzzkill
the thing about shifting is that even when you feel a bit detached from it there will still always be a little voice in your head trying to understand how to insert yourself in the media you’re consuming, so we never really give up on it imo !!
