Why changing your mindset won't make you shift.
Yeah, you read that right.
You have probably heard somebody say that after reading someone's post or after thinking about it, shifting just "clicked" to them.
And you're there, wondering why shifting is not "clicking" to you, like it's the key to a mystery box. Then you start going down the rabbit hole, looking at every TikTok or Tumblr post to see if it changes something for you.
And then you realise, it finally "clicks": none of these videos or posts are going to make you shift; they aren't going to give you a list of steps to follow. YOU are the one who makes their own list.
You can hear hundreds and even thousands of people tell you what to do, how to do it, and how to think, and still you won't shift. This isn't because you're dumb or just unlucky; this is because changing your whole mindset doesn't ensure that you'll shift.
Some people claim that after changing their mindset, shifting became super easy to them, and when you hear how they did it, it's full of things like: I didn't sleep for a week, I didn't use the word "no" for a year, I would hit my head against a wall every time I thought shifting was fake.
Please don't fall into this. I'm not saying that doing those things won't help you, but sometimes they make you act like a robot and not like a human. I've heard many people claim that you can't say: "I'm going to shift" or "I'm going to try to shift", because then you won't shift (That's so dumb).
Understand that to shift, you don't need to feel super happy and excited. This is because shifting is a natural process that happens to everyone, and it does not depend on your emotions (you can be bawling your eyes out and still shift).
YOU are the one who decides: when, how, and where to shift. If looking at these posts helps you (just as some of them also help me) that's absolutely fine.
I know I have a post saying how I changed my view about shifting and talked about my mindset, but my main change was understanding two things: 1. I'm capable of shifting, sooner or later, it ends up happening 2. Shifting is a natural process that everyone does.
