"Shifting is easy" and "yeah, right." Dilemma
(I've been meaning to talk about this for so long, experienced both povs, and thought this is a great subject to discuss + I'm also gonna state my bestfriend's experience (who's a shifter for nearly 7 years now, homegirl is basically my shifting Wikipedia and i love her sm, and she's super chill abt it (spoiler alert: that's the key)
Also I'm sorry if I sound a little harsh in this one, that wasn't the intention at all, if you find this to be demotivating or somehow controlling please do not take it into account, this is MY personal experience and the conclusion I shared with my bestfriends, i wanted this to be helpful for the people who think their issue is that they tend to overcomplicate things (aka me, that's what I do with basically everything in my life) maybe the way I kind of figured it out could be resourceful, but no more than that, it is personal, so take what resonates leave what doesn't <3
Let's get things straight, I know everyone just hates when someone pulls the "omg shifting is so easy, it requires nothing to shift, it's so effortless you are overcomplicating it, just let go, don't chase it" move.
And every time you hear it, you roll your eyes and think, "If it's that easy, why hasn't it happened to me yet?"
Some are good at hiding it, doubting in the shadows, and taking the time to reflect on their own journey, which is the best thing one can do.
And some project it outwards, horrendously so.
Both come from the same place:
Got every box on the damn list checked, yet no progress was made
Tried giving a shit, tried not giving a shit, still nothing happened
"So what's wrong with me?" You thinking that there's something wrong with you.
Been there, done that, cut the whole scene and remade it, shifted multiple times, and got the "ooooooh THAT'S what they meant"
Even though you hate hearing it over and over again, everywhere on the internet, from shifters, manifestors, spiritual people, everyone and their mom who has experienced it, the truth is :
Shifting is so goddamn easy.
And no, I'm not saying this to piss you off, I'm saying this because that's exactly the kind of mindset and frequency you should be aligning yourself with.
People try their best to explain this phrase without sounding "over the top" or "fake" but everytime they do, people with their victim card jump on them at the very moment, demanding proof, overly criticizing their posts, finding "holes" in the story they suppose "didn't make sense"
Let's all take some time out, chill, and rewind
The truth will always be: shifting is so damn easy (same with manifestation)
You shouldn't build your journey on someone else's, hell you should be off social media if you feel like it's draining you rather than helping you.
My irl best friend of 5 years has been shifting for so long, we were in high-school back when I first learned about shifting and shared it with my friends, she said "oh I thought everyone already does that?", everytime I vent to her about my shifting blockages, my doubts, she literally just says: "Rym it's so easy WDYM", always gave me the "you just have to know, and let go, why are you stressing yourself? WDYM blockages!!"
And that drove me INSANE!
She does not have a tumblr, or a tiktok, she didn't learn about shifting through the internet, she doesn't share shit about her drs (except to her besties AND YES THE TEA IS ALWAYS PIPING HOT), she doesn't know what a method is, she doesn't meditate or know what WBTB, the void, LOA are...
She just follows her intuition, and she shifts on command EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Another friend of mine said the same thing, they do it out of instinct because it is supposed to be natural.
Natural, what's the opposite of that ? Forced.
That's what clicked for me the first time I consciously shifted.
It didn't feel like I was *making* myself shift, I didn't waver, I just said I have my desire EVEN IF IT DIDN'T APPEAR TO ME, and it didn't appear and I still persisted and let go of the outcome *IDGF I HAVE IT*
And it happened, so easily.
Do not let yourself fall into despair, that's how it gets you.
My friends and I share one simple mindset, do not fall into despair, shifting is instant, manifestation is instant, only if you believe it to be that way.
Ignore the damn outcome, focus on your goal and the feeling of ACTUALLY having it right there and then, that will be your reality.
The huge contrast between old me who was so goddamn frustrated and thinking she was stuck in her cr, that something is def wrong with her cuz why the hell is it so easy for her friend? Maybe thats just how it is and it'll take time for her? Maybe bc she has ADHD ? Maybe it was this and that..? And the new present me who has became so comfortable in her own skin, in her mindset and who knows she shifts all the time, and she does it now whenever she desires.
Cut it off, nothing is wrong with you, you are not stuck, the only wrong thing about this is the way you feel about yourself!!! GET UP.
So instead of letting that insecurity multiply and eat you alive, or projecting it on other people and "cloaking" them, all for the sole reason of making yourself feel better (bc hey no one can prove shifting, maybe let's not base our whole belief system on other people ?)
Try to eradicate it, it's not easy to reprogram old rooted beliefs, but what's easy is to plant new ones, everytime a contradiction comes up, say "fuck it, that's not mine, I do not claim it" and move the hell on, little by little you'll find yourself with a new system that serves you, and suddenly everything works in your favor, the text book definition of life on easy mode.
