𑁋 no any unwanted mental issues and you are free from suffering severe depression, anxiety, etc. this saves you mentally which could eventually affect you physically.
𑁋 it’s real life, so make sure you script that you are able to process trauma well. but if you want, nothing is stopping you from not having any sort of trauma at all !
𑁋 any of the monsters/creatures in your DR cannot infect, posses, or kill you. you never feel guilty ridding them off the face of the earth, it’s what you must do to survive.

thank you for reading!! if there’s any other suggestions you have, please leave a comment :)
Listen if you want to shift go. I'm serious go, push yourself to your limits. Your GOING to shift no matter what. You do it all the time so what's stopping you from shifting to a specific place this time??
note: fully inspired by @stilljuststardust's post "the senses shift last", which you can read here.
how often do you experience anxiety? or intrusive thoughts? as a person living in a certainly tempestuous time, you've likely had to brush off those thoughts more than once.
the act of shifting is defined by choosing to become aware of your desired reality, and your senses immediately following suit is a rare event.
when you go to shift to your desired reality, I want you to brush off what your senses tell you like you would an irrational thought. if you're like me and have ocd or anxiety or depression, this doesn't seem possible, so I offer you another solution —
treat your senses like they're a jealous peer spreading rumours about you. we've all been there already. not everyone is going to like you, and sometimes that makes them lash out in ridiculous ways. there's nothing else you can do about it than brush them off, laugh at it, scoff at it.
you know that meme, "all I can do is pray for you — matter a' fact bow ya head"? that's the energy you have to embody when somebody's lying to you or on you. oh, I hope you'll get better ♡ jealousy is a disease type energy. when you shift, treat the 3D and your senses like you pity them for not knowing better and feeling that way. pity the 3D for not keeping up with the times. pay it less mind than you would someone trying to get a rise out of you.
have you ever heard of the "let them" theory? I first discovered it on the justnomil subreddit. it's a way of not giving someone attention when they're doing something stupid, or mean, or ridiculous. essentially, if someone's not going to listen to reason or common sense, don't sweat off your back trying to get them to. it's unnecessary stress and futile. let them make a fool of themself because experience is the best teacher.
so let the 3D say what it wants. let your senses try to convince you that you haven't shifted. it won't matter because you know the truth. you know you're in your DR. you know you're your DR self. let the 3D make a fool of itself — experience will make it catch up sooner or later.
tldr — look at the 3D like this when you're trying to shift;
warning
be sure to limit this method to when you're actively trying to shift or manifest. don't use it to fuel delusions or psychosis. you can participate in the 3D and maintain lucidity while still manifesting.
which ones do i have on repeat so often to the point they are wearing out the tracks? who is my go-to artist? which record do i treasure the most? (spoiler: it's an Elvis record Richy got me a bit after returning from Hamburg) I can't wait to listen to them all and remember the story behind each one.
⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐞
are you kidding?? cute dresses, cute accessories, worn in boots and makeup stained sleeves. tears in colorful tights and well-loved cotton blouses. shoes muddied from a rainy night on streets of London. how can I not be excited to doll myself up??
⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲
singing being heard from the bathroom, shared shoes that litter the front entrance, "have you seen my lighter?" "did you take my red tights?" she's like a cup of warm tea on a cold morning. my best friend, my business partner, my other half. I can't wait to live with her and experience life alongside her. I'm so lucky she's in my life.
i'm not as close to my siblings here as I wish to be. growing up me & Richy were very close and we still are! inside jokes galore, we are each others #1 cheerleaders. we share a Starkey sibling wavelength that others don't tend to understand. i love my brother!!
⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞
I guess it's a given to be excited for your s/o, it's hard to put the feeling into words... with him I'm reminded of the beauty in the calm, in silence, and in nature. In soft touches, love filled glances from across a filled room, and in shared breathing. The world has slowly redeveloped it's color which has been lost for me for a long while. Love feels possible again with him. he's like the wind on a cozy summer evening blowing through the leaves of trees and making them dance.
Thinking about that one time I was affirming "I am shifting to my dr," but I was so sleepy my brain changed it to "I am shifting to the diddy party" and I busted out laughing
