EXPLAINING LOA AND SHIFTING… LIKE YOU’RE A FIVE YEAR OLD
AKA overly simplified deepdive
okay okay sit down. i know you’re bouncing around like a squirrel who just drank six juice boxes and found out you can go to any universe ever and be a dinosaur with laser eyes and your name is queen starlight sparkle. i get it. i really do. but we gotta talk. about what? about shifting. about loa. about that weird little ugh feeling in your tummy called doubt. and yes. we’re doing it simple. like i’m your sleep-deprived babysitter half running on caffeine and sheer delusion and you’re asking me for the fiftieth time what happens when you dream. buckle up.
okay imagine this. you are in a big playroom. and there’s, like, a billion doors. you can walk through any of them. you wanna go to the world where you’re a mermaid and live in a sparkly seashell palace and everyone calls you supreme jellyfish commander? there’s a door for that. you wanna go where your favorite cartoon is real and you’re besties with that character you’re in love with but won’t admit it? there’s a door for that too. now guess what. you don’t need a special key. you’re the door. yeah. you heard me. you are the door.
shifting is just moving into another reality, with your big ol’ imagination steering the wheel and your mind deciding to hop out of this one and hop into another. no rocket needed. no secret spell. no fairy dust. just deciding. like “yup. i’m going there now.” that’s it.
people make it complicated because they’re bored or scared or trying to make it sound fancy and exclusive like an adult telling you taxes are hard. but no. it’s just deciding. the way you decide to eat the red gummy instead of the green one.
now don’t go telling me “but i tried and it didn’t work!!” because here’s the thing. trying means you’re still peeking through the crack of the door, not stepping through it. you’re still thinking “am i there yet?” like asking if the oven’s hot while your cookies are still goo. you gotta step. not peek.
law of assumption. law of attraction. law of whatever you wanna name it, sweetheart. it’s all the same sparkly cupcake of a thing.
basically, if you assume your teddy bear talks, your whole world becomes one where your teddy bear talks. if you assume you’re the fastest racecar driver in candyland, guess who’s on the track next sunday? you.
your mind is a magic marker. you say it’s true? your brain says “oh okay boss!” and then starts painting your world around it like “pink sparkly trees? got it. talking lollipops? sure thing.”
the universe isn’t judging you. it’s not checking if you’re ready or deserving. it’s just copying and pasting what’s in your mind onto your life. it’s literally lazy like that. you think “i’m rich and wear gold shoes” enough? your brain’s like “ugh fine i guess i’ll make that true now.”
it’s just what you assume is real, becomes real. not because you earned it. but because your mind said “this is my room now” and slammed the door shut like a moody teen. done.
aw baby. listen. i love you but you are not special for having doubts. you’re not cursed. you didn’t break the universe. doubt is just brain farts. you know how sometimes you’re really sure you turned off the light but your brain goes “but did you really?” and you go back to check and the light is off? yeah. that’s doubt. it’s annoying. it happens. doesn’t mean the light wasn’t off.
doubt is just your brain being like “are you sure we’re allowed to have that thing we want?” and you have to say “yes.” like a mom ignoring her toddler screaming in a grocery store. keep walking. don’t look back. you already said yes. you don’t argue with a toddler. you don’t argue with your doubts.
you don’t have to get rid of doubt to manifest. you don’t have to kill it. you just have to not feed it. don’t invite it to tea. you can shift while doubting. you can get your dream life while doubting. you’ve already done it before. you assumed your friend liked you. you assumed you were getting a birthday present. you didn’t fight doubt, you just kept going.
BUT WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING??
because you keep looking at the cake in the oven yelling “WHY ISN’T IT COOKED YET??” every five seconds. sweetheart. leave the cake alone.
you keep thinking “where’s my thing?? where is it???” but listen. once you assume you have something, you stop looking for it. you don’t stare at your socks every day and ask “do i have socks?” you just put them on.
you say you’re living in the end but then get confused when you’re bored. yeah. it’s supposed to be boring. when you have something, it’s boring. normal. you’re not supposed to be on fireworks mode all the time. you don’t wake up screaming “i HAVE A HOUSE!!” every morning. it’s just your house.
so when you manifest a boyfriend or a million dollars or a new reality, you might feel… meh. and that’s good. that means your brain accepted it as real. boring is success.
people keep starting over because they’re chasing highs not results. they’re addicted to the method. they like feeling like they’re doing something. but manifesting isn’t doing. it’s being. it’s deciding “i’m already there.” and then brushing your teeth like normal because nothing needs fixing anymore.
QUICKFIRE Q&A: SHIFTING + MANIFESTING EDITION
the “can i do this?” “what if i do that?” “am i broken?” corner
CAN I SHIFT IF I HAVE DOUBTS?
yes baby you can. doubt is like background static. you don’t have to get rid of it. just stop dancing to it. shifting doesn’t need your perfection. it needs your decision.
CAN I SHIFT IF I’M DEPRESSED/ANXIOUS/MENTALLY ILL?
yup. yup. yup. your brain doesn’t have to be sunshine and rainbows for your consciousness to hop timelines. your awareness isn’t broken just ‘cause your serotonin’s doing the cha-cha slide backwards.
yes. you just probably won’t notice it right away ‘cause you’ll doubt it or keep checking if it “worked.” but yes. instant like microwave popcorn.
CAN I SHIFT EVEN IF I’VE NEVER DONE IT?
you literally already have. in dreams. in tiny moments. in decisions that made your life split into new branches. you’re just trying to do it on purpose now. and yes, you can.
CAN I SHIFT TO A REAL PLACE?
all places are real somewhere. all realities exist. pick one and go.
CAN I SHIFT TO A FANDOM? LIKE A CARTOON?
yes. they exist on other timelines. your brain didn’t invent them. it tuned into them. like tv channels. go tune into your hot vampire bf and don’t look back.
no. you’re not dying. you’re just vibing so hard you hop into another timeline. your body? still here. your soul? exploring. no death involved. unless you want your DR self to die dramatically and get reborn as a phoenix queen or whatever.
you can shift back. sideways. up. into an alternate timeline where bananas are currency. you are the steering wheel. turn wherever you want.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN’T DO??
nope. that’s the whole gag. the whole joke. the entire prank. you literally can’t be stopped unless you say “i can’t do that.” and even then… you just cursed yourself. and you can uncross it by saying nah jk i can.
CAN I USE LOA TO MANIFEST STUFF FOR OTHERS?
yes. you can influence how people show up in your world. but free will is a wild horse in other people’s realities. so focus on your own experience. wanna be loved? assume you are. they’ll start acting like it. magic.
CAN I MANIFEST PHYSICAL CHANGES?
yes. face. body. voice. reality is moldable goo. you say “this is my face now” and reality starts shifting things to match. might be slow. might be fast. but it’ll bend. it always does.
no. blind bitches manifest too. you don’t need a mental cinema. you need belief. or delusion. same thing.
okay. take a juice break. go outside. touch some grass. breathe. obsession isn’t the vibe (unless ya assume it is). embodiment is. don’t chase. be. act like you already got it and chill. the universe loves a confident, unbothered little gremlin.
WHAT IF I HAVE BAD THOUGHTS??
bad thoughts? we all do. it’s called having a brain. just don’t marry them. don’t bake them a cake and invite them to move in. notice. ignore. move on.
CAN I SHIFT WHILE AWAKE??
yes. it’s called the raven method. the sunny method. the eyes-open-lying-in-bed-listening-to-your-crusty-ceiling-fan method. it’s just choosing. you don’t have to pass out. just… shift.
WHAT IF NOTHING IS HAPPENING??
oh it is. you just haven’t noticed the cracks yet. the mold is forming behind the scenes. stop poking the oven. stop restarting. stop doubting. let it bake.
you didn’t fall off. you tripped on a lego and thought it meant something. get up. keep going. the universe didn’t fire you. you’re still the main character. wipe your snot and continue.
CAN I MANIFEST SOMEONE TEXTING ME?
yes. they already did. reread the text in your mind so much your brain’s like “guess we have to make it real now.”
DO I NEED TO FEEL IT ALL THE TIME?
nope. you don’t have to feel rich to be rich. you don’t have to feel like a butterfly to grow wings. you just need to assume it’s real. feeling comes after.
WHAT IF I CHANGE MY DESIRE??
cool. change it. this isn’t a marriage. it’s a drive-thru. pick a new item off the menu.
CAN I SHIFT BY ACCIDENT??
yes. you’ve probably already done it during a daydream or a deep nap or while staring at your ceiling wondering why bread molds so fast. it’s that easy. congrats.
IS THIS ALL JUST MADE UP??
maybe. or maybe this reality is the made-up one. point is: it works. and you’re still reading. so maybe trust that part of you that wants it to be real. it’s not lying to you.
okay you get it now. the answer is yes. the problem is usually you thinking there’s a problem. now go. shift. manifest. nap. assume your plushie’s alive and cheering for you. whatever. just remember:
you’re the one who gets to decide how the story goes.
you get to make the rules. not me. not your favorite tiktoker. not the moon. not your dumb anxious brain. YOU.
you say you can shift by thinking about strawberry milk? cool. you can.
you say you’ll get your dream life by pretending you already have it and ignoring the rest? yup. it’ll happen.
you say “i’m too powerful to fail”? congrats. you are.
you’re the boss. you’re the adult in this universe playroom even if you’re still learning how to tie your manifesting shoelaces. every thought you have is like drawing something and then it comes to life. every time you assume “this is true,” it’s like locking it into place like those sticky stars on your ceiling.
your reality listens to YOU. not your doubts. not the outside world. not “logic” or “science” or “but what if.” just YOU.
so be messy. be certain. be unsure. be wiggly and weird and trust it anyway. that’s how this works. not because you got it perfect. but because you decided it’s yours. and you didn’t look back.
go color your reality. it’s waiting. i love you. now go shift or manifest or nap or whatever you wanna do. it’s all allowed.
