follow up to the ask and more shifting advice. basically just what i’d tell myself like 6 years ago
first time i shifted, i was just thinking about my dr so much and had so much faith in it being real that i don’t think i left myself any room for any type of doubt. i told myself i was going to shift and that there was no way i wouldn’t, and then i did. nothing fancy. i know it’s not as simple for others, but i honestly think it’s because people over complicate it so much
every other time i shift, its me being like “i want to shift, so im going to shift now” closing my eyes, and going to sleep. sometimes i daydream about my dr, decide to shift, and shift. it’s completely up to the person.
best best advice i can give anyone is to STOP LISTENING TO OTHER PEOPLE
define your own journey and what shifting means to you. if you don’t like scripting, don’t do it. if you don’t like methods, don’t do them. if you love doing methods, do them. whatever makes you happy, do it. nothing will hinder you from shifting, not even doubt. there are plenty of shifters who didn’t believe in shifting, but still did it
do whatever you want to, and just trust that it will happen. you’re not going to not shift because your leg twitched when you were supposed to be still. nothing will prevent you from shifting. mindset could perhaps delay it, but never prevent it.
tell yourself you can and you will. you don’t have to set a date to do it and you don’t have to force it either. you will because you know you will and you know you have the ability to. one “fail” doesn’t mean it’ll never happen. i promise you, you will shift.
this is coming from someone who spent 6 years trying and “failing” to shift. as soon as i took off so much of that weight of trying to do everything “right” it all became so much easier. just do whatever you want and don’t let anyone else say you’re doing something wrong. don’t tell yourself you’re doing something wrong, because you’re not. you’re right just by believing in yourself
i hope this also makes sense
tl;dr: there is nothing that will stop you from shifting, so take that pressure off of you. you can’t ever do anything wrong when it comes to shifting, so stop telling yourself you are. faith in yourself is enough. YOU are enough
