What to do if you have not shifted for +++years

(Most of my anons were along the lines of this same issue, I want to make a common post for them. I won't be telling you "you're already there" or "persist" I'm going to have a heart to heart conversation with your mental health in mind, this will be a long post)

First and foremost I have to say, this post is very heavily opinion-based. Alright, I'll divide it into topics, and two categories: before shifting and during shifting.

Before Shifting.

Determining the laws of your reality.

This is where you've got to do most of the work. (Don't worry, it won't be 7 hour subliminal listening sessions) now let's present a very important note: I don't know who you are. But most importantly I don't know what you believe in. Shifting isn't a known set of rules, Shifting doesn't have a single method, it does not have a wikihow page. Everything that exist is because of you. Therefore there are differences in my reality and yours. What you believe in is acting out in reality. LITERALLY.

So first you need to ask yourself some questions, with full honesty, oh and don't apply the thoughts you have by certain reprogramming affirmations, don't force yourself just because you have to persist.

"What am I?" What do you believe you are? Currently, are you a soul, a human? Or you something greater, seek within yourself to answer what you believe.

"What is reality?" How is everything working around you? Why are you here.

"Who is in control?" Who makes you shift. Who or what makes everything happen.

"How to shift?" Self explanatory. If you write with utmost truth on what you think shifting is like and when and how it happens; you'll basically have the code of how reality works for you.

Relax.

After you've gathered your research sheets. Take a breath, since you've got all the answers you need. Now, close your eyes, whenever you like. Imagine a serene atmosphere, for example, sharp sunlight falling on your skin, warming you up, or the rain droplets drowning your senses, as you run across a forest. Tell yourself, "this is what shifting is" , and "I've shifted." That's all it is. You feel some you get some.

Some important realizations,

• Time is not linear.

• Failure is a perception.

• You're not beneath anyone.

• You don't need to prove yourself to anyone.

• you'll survive, you'll be alright.

Don't. Kidnap. Yourself.

The title sounds weird, but it is regarding heavily applying the principle of assuming until you have it, to EVERYTHING. Idc if people come after me. I don't want anyone to suffer by stamping their foreheads with "persist!" Even if it works. I love loa, until it crosses over into toxic positively. Don't just put yourself in a coffin; don't become a prisoner to your thoughts! Don't make it feel like there's an angry witch in your mind, who will scream at you if something goes wrong, the problem is! Something might go wrong and you'd end up highlighting the idea that you are being forced to assume against something. Don't feel forced. Simple. (You can still use loa, if you like)

Declutter your mind.

I said it before. and @ilovecatfr explained this here, there's so much in your mind. I can tell. Each and everyone has their own unique spin on shifting. That's great and they put out advice to help people, similarly you... also have it within you. Afterall, these bloggers, big well written and decorated posts are the projection of your assumptions. I'd like to say, majority of the bloggers are kindhearted with the aim to help others. Although for some, you being desperate in their asks is an ego boost, nothing is wrong with feeling good about yourself for your knowledge, but you the person at the other end of this screen, are not a pawn, not just another anon, alright? you know how to shift, look back at what your answers were to the questions.

Control your emotions towards this reality.

I've always wanted to discuss this. Emotions are the puppeteers of this show. They're a grounding mechanism of any reality. If you feel something deeply, you're angry at circumstances you form an attachment to this reality, it keeps you here. Think about what happens to a person when they get disassociation. Similarly belief + emotional investment = reality. Its a code. I can confidently say anyone who has not shifted (... not targeting anyone, genuinely trying my best to help; ty ty back to the text) is because they're giving too much emotional importance to this reality. This can be in the form of stressing that you have not shifted, being worried that you're not in your dr, putting much focus on the "What ifs" of if you wake back in this reality.

But we can't just go BLANK. we're still humans who feel deeply (for now huehue) so what's the solution to this non-issue? Direct these feelings towards your destination, your intended reality! This would mean feeling like your dr self, if you're experiencing negative emotions you can last second convert them to any scenario related to your dr, emotional investment there pays well, here? It just wastes time.

Don't let feelings get the best of you and keep you here; you're their creator after all.

(Optional) Create a homey dr.

This comes from personal experiences. If I don't mention this I won't be completely open with each one of you. I shifted through intense love and reverence for my home. I knew that each and every second spent in this reality led up to me shifting to my home.

So for ease later on when you can't decide between drs, it'll be comforting to have a reality you can call home and choose over and over again.

Rewire.

This is where you come back to what you answered to the questions. Do you like your response? A human is living in a reality, and your answers are the universal law there. Will they have an easy time with shifting? If you think so, then choose to not do any "rewiring" and act upon the answers you wrote, shifting in accordance to them as they have become the pillars of your reality. If you think the person's reality's laws regarding shifting are complicated, then you can choose to rewire them. This can be a simple manifestation. As it has no basis in the 3D yet, you will manifest it within seconds. You can either write it down, listen to a subliminal, or simply think of the new beliefs in your head (eg "I shift in seconds") and let go. Stop.

(Severely optional) strive for spiritual awakenings

*shrugs* I thought I should mention based on personal experience.

During shifting.

Confuse your logical brain

You don't have to give it validation. Instead, just make it unable to predict the next move of it creator. Its built to look at everything with skepticism.. but it has nothing when you don't give it the chance. For example, the anti method by @hrrtshape is the best example. I like that you can do this, pre-method like a little warm up. (You can also manifest to not think logically)

Know your game

To act like you're in a battle field is not the way to shift. You don't have to give the actual practice of shifting much or any importance. You know how to shift, then why is there a need to have plan B's and checking your own environment? You are the commander in front, you're the one switching the reality, your reality is not the one switching.

Senses shift last

Explained by @stilljuststardust here.

Be blind and deaf to each and everything other than your intended reality

...and be so obsessed with your intended reality. Live out entire days, you're there, no, time is not passing by, the previous reality has disappeared by your hyperfixation on your intended reality. Ever done that exercise where you stare at a dot for so long, everything around it disappears? Well then, EXACTLY. Make it dissapear. Make it dissappear by not giving it any more of your energy. ....how I shifted. This is based upon being your dr self, that's snatches away the spotlight from this current reality.

Keep yourself comfortable

All of you are experienced enough to know, you don't need to lay in the starfish position. But remove the unnecessary thought that if you dare move your finger you might mess up the whole attempt (This is a subconsciousness belief) here's how to not worry about your 3D: again, senses shift last, Your current reality = intended reality.

It is about breaking free from human functions

Your software is set to being an earthly human. This is why acting like your current reality (the noises from the environment, physical annoyances) are from your intended reality, helps. This allows you to trick your human brain and move forward. The more you try to make sense of shifting, the more less it'll make sense. You don't have to know everything about shifting. The point is to be awfully natural about it. Just like how you wake up in this current reality without any requirement. You don't overthink it, then why overthink shifting.

Hope I cleared everything, I spent 5 hours on this post. If anything is not clear, please send in an ask, I am 100% avaliable to answer anything amiss.

Now let's see how much time I take to actually make this post aesthetically pleasing, so people don't have to bleach their eyes or ruin their blogs with this.

Dedicated to @lilyblairkinda who gave me this idea, once.

[sunshineshifts]

an open letter to those who have not yet shifted.

i don't know how many of you will see this, let alone how many will read it entirely. this letter is for those who have been trying to shift for two years, five years, more. those who cannot give up, and those who will not give up, and maybe even those who already have. to preface, this letter will not rehash everything you already know. you've scrolled every forum, you've seen every method, you've read every tip. you've trialed, and errored, and persevered... but you're still here. law of assumption, manifestation, belief, intention. but you're still here. you've been told all about shifting... right? you already know what shifting is... right? you should already know how to shift... right? but you're still here.

this letter is not intended to debase or invalidate those who do already believe in those things and who are satisfied with that. this is for those who have been trying that way for 2 years, 5 years, and more, and still haven't shifted. this is for those who might want an alternative perspective.

what you've been told

in my personal opinion, the online shifting community as it currently stands is very... rigid. narrow. there are a few dominant views, and then the many who drown out any possible dissent or disagreement. i do understand why this happens. reality shifting is already a marginal belief, hounded by anti-shifters and disbelieved and debunked on all sides, so it makes sense that people feel the instinct to close ranks at any sign of an outsider. unfortunately, this has led to a community that raises its hackles at even other reality shifters who simply don't believe the exact same way that you do. law of assumption. manifestation. intent. (and dare i say it, the multiverse.)

i don't believe in any of that, in the context of shifting.

now, wait! don't go yet, stay with me. it's okay if you do. i'm not intending to change the minds of those who already believe in these things. i'm not going to go at anyone and say "i'm right, you're wrong, and you must change your mind to agree with me!" that would be silly, and counterproductive. let's lower our guards, and extend an olive branch, please. if you feel these things serve your journey, then carry on. you're allowed to disagree with me, i won't be upset. you're allowed to think i'm wrong, if you want. literally no worries at all.

but i am a little tired frankly of certain ideas being treated as the only options, and often in a rude or hostile manner. if you are someone who has spent five years trying to shift, and you see yet another post that boils down to "all you have to do is want it hard enough" does that not hurt your soul? the following sections of this post are for those who these ideas have not been working for. for those who have not yet shifted. it's been two years. five years. more. and you're still here. are you open to another possibility?

what is reality shifting?

i've told you what i don't believe, but what about what i do? i'll try to keep this as concise as possible for the sake of brevity and comprehension, knowing i could potentially clarify in future posts. but please continue with the understanding that im a chronic overexplainer, and my curse is the fact that the extra words don't always actually increase understanding. bear with me.

reality shifting: broadly speaking, this refers to shifting your linear experience of reality from one, to another. this has been known by many other names in the past, across continents and cultures, even in pre-agriculture societies. i'd include ideas like persistent realms, quantum jumping, focus 21, etc. language is subjective, and people may describe or understand the same experience in different ways.

i believe reality shifting is a haphazard side effect of our limited ability to perceive and comprehend reality. let me explain. space, as we understand it, is three dimensional. but reality isn't. it's our bodies and minds limiting our perception and understanding that makes all of reality seem that way to us at surface level.

1D: let's consider a hypothetical one dimensional existence. everything would a straight line, and the only way to perceive anything else would be as a single point directly in front or directly behind you. forwards and backward. the 2D and 3D are beyond your limited ability to physically sense or feel, let alone to comprehend. Forget about the 4D (time). due to your lack of comprehension, you cannot move at will in two dimensional planes, let alone three dimensional space or even time. you are static, a single point.

2D: let's consider a hypothetical two dimensional existence. it would be a flat, infinite planar expanse. you might be a square, or a circle. you can move freely in two dimensional directions (forward, backwards, side to side), but not in the 3D. No up, no down. If you tried to perceive a three dimensional object, you would only be able to comprehend it as linear, a line on the horizon where it intersects your 2 dimensional plane. you would perceive the 3D as moving around or within you on its own, without the ability to direct it. the 4D, or time, if you could perceive it, would be static, a singular point at a time.

3D: what about our three dimensional existence? congratulations, you now are a form, such as a sphere, or a cube. you can move freely in a voluminous, infinite three dimensional space. Forward, backwards, side to side, up, and down. if you *try* to perceive the fourth dimension (time), you can only comprehend it as linear, a line where it intersects your 3 dimensional space. You perceive it as moving around or within you on its own, without the ability to direct it yourself. any dimensions higher than that, if you could perceive it, would be static, a singular point at a time.

quick 4D sidebar: clearing this one up now because this will confuse some of you who are involved in other communities. in many law of assumption and manifestation communities, "4D" has been used to refer to your imagination, inner world, a bridge to "higher vibrational states", etc. i don't use it that way. i use it in the sense of the mathematical concept, or linking three-dimensional space with time. 4D=time.

4D and 5D: so, time is the fourth dimension. that means it is four dimensional, yet due to our limitations as 3D creatures, we can only perceive it as linear. we perceive it as moving around us, without our direction, forwards, (or backwards in some cultures). what about the 5th dimension? the static one? the one we can only perceive one point of at a time? let's call this 5th dimension... reality. due to our limited perception, it may not seem like it, but time and reality are just like space in that all of it exists at once. if you were a 5th dimensional creature, you wouldn't see a bunch of different realities, you'd just see one the way we just see one 3D universe around us right now.

tip: think of it this way, if a three dimensional creature moving through time is only able to perceive it linearly, it may think that each point of time exists separately, passing by in chronological order. this would be like a character in a book, the character experiences each page one at a time as we turn the page. but we know that actually, the entire book exists all at the same time, and already did exist before we picked it up and started reading it, and continues to exist even when we set it down. the same is true of time, and reality. even if we perceive it as linear, or a point, all of it actually exists simultaneously, like space.

still, we can only perceive one point of reality at a time. i believe when we reality shift, we are by some freak of nature (or nurture) finding a way to trigger a "movement" in this "5th dimension," and therefor shifting our linear experience of time and our singular perceptual experience of one reality to another. ("movement" is a bit of an abstraction here, as movement generally refers to 3D space. you're not actually moving anywhere, you're already there, you just... can't see it at the same time as this.)

ok, so how the heavens do i shift?

if you read through all of the above, i assume that's what you're asking by now. "get to the point shimmer! how do i shift?" if you don't need intention, belief, assumption, manifestation, three gallons of water, crystals, or anything else then what do you need to shift?

if we boil shifting down to its absolute core, all you need to do in order to shift is to shift. (put down the pitch forks, and the flaming feathers and tar. i'll elaborate.)

shifting involves finding a way for us 3 dimensional creatures to trigger a shift in a dimensional direction that we do not have the capacity to perceive. so what i mean by "all you have to do to shift, is to shift" is that there is no physical movement, or secret password we can whisper that makes us shift, not inherently. it's sort of like being told to find your invisible and non corporeal primordial tail, and then swish it in a direction that doesn't spatially exist. find your "move in the 5D button", and then press it. except, there is no button.

so how do we "move" from one point of reality to the other? well, the first clue to this is in noticing what part of us is actually doing the "moving".

you don't make it happen with your three dimensional form. there is no body part or mass or motor function in your 3D body that triggers a shift. there's nothing that allows a three dimensional form to move in five dimensional directions... you just can't. your body stays here. that's good news actually, in my opinion. there is no need to force yourself into strange bodily positions, or chug water, or whatever else. your 3D body is irrelevant, because it's not going anywhere. you don't have to do anything with your body to shift. some people can shift awake, asleep, in the shower, walking around, etc.

you also don't necessarily do it with the fourth dimension, time. there is no specific amount of time that you'll shift after. it might seem you've spent a lot of time trying to shift, but the actual shift itself is instantaneous. some people shift their first try, and some of you might be on your second decade of attempts. again, the time factor being irrelevant is good news because this means it doesn't have to take time.

i also don't think we do it with just intent or belief. the intention word gets used so much it basically means nothing, but the general idea is that intent is the driving force that manifests your desired outcome. in the context of shifting, people use it like "set your intention to shift, and you will" or "intent makes you shift." or the dreaded "you just have to believe harder." personally, i don't think that's true. i don't think intention makes you shift. if it did, you all would have shifted by now, right? i think looking anyone who's been trying to shift for 4 years dead in the eye and telling them they just haven't intended to shift yet is honestly a bit cruel and unusual. some people who intend to shift will shift, but in my opinion, its a case of correlation, and not causation. there are also people who shift without intending to, or who intend to shift but don't.

it's also not really our thoughts that shift. or our mind as a concept, or our entire self. we know this because you don't turn into a comatose vegetable when you shift to a different reality. your thoughts, mind, and self here are unaffected by your awareness shifting away from it. if you successfully "permashifted" to hogwarts tonight, your self here would still wake up in the morning and go to work.

so what does shift? only our linear experience of our own awareness. so in order to reality shift, we just need to find a way to trigger our awareness to shift from one point of reality to another in a non linear fashion, and then integrate that into our linear experience. aha! you think. great! now how do i do that...? unfortunately, this is not an exact science (yet.) once you begin shifting regularly, i think it gets "easier" in some regards because you get a sense for how your awareness "feels" and what works for you. for those who haven't shifted, i can't say "take three deep breaths and recite the secret words, and then you'll shift." there is nothing specific you can physically do that will for certain make you shift. there's no secret passwords.

there is no key to shifting. the good news is, this means there is also no lock.

what we can do is get ourselves primed, into a state that increases the chances our awareness is triggered to shift. ie, find the "move in the 5D" button, (you know, the one that doesn't exist) and learn how to press it. and because it is our awareness that shifts, my "methods" have to do with priming your awareness for shifting. you don't need to believe, which is a good thing because it means doubts won't hold you back. you don't necessarily need to intend, which is a good thing because it means there are no secret blockages in your way. no "subconscious", no "reprogramming", no "delusion is the solution." you don't need any of that. you also don't have to do anything specific with your body or space unless you feel like it and want to. you don't need a script, but you can make one if you want. it's whatever, it's irrelevant darling, it's non-consequential.

these three methods below basically encompass all shifting methods out there. i might expand on techniques for these methods later, but for now i'll go over the basics.

method one: pure awareness

it basically boils down to two steps. get into a state of pure awareness, and then shift.

the first step for this method is actually a simple one, sort of, but i think it's unkind to call it easy. it can be easy, if you just happen to have a perfect technique that works for you on your first try. if so, congrats! if not, don't despair. it comes more naturally to some than others, at first. you can probably build the skills and try different techniques necessary for you to get there.

but what is pure awareness? it's currently very often being called "the void state", but i'm not using that term for a few reasons. one, i think using the term "the void state" or calling it "the void" is making people think it's some sort of place that they're trying to go. it's not. it's not a physical place at all, and that's kind of the point. most of the time, your awareness is perceiving reality through the confines concept of 3D reality, because that's the data input it's receiving from your brain and body. that grounds you in this reality, and allows you to go about your day to day life. your goal with the pure awareness method is to focus on just your awareness, absent of all 3D distraction data and input. that way, your awareness is primed to be triggered to shift its focus to the 3D perception of a different point of reality when you come out of that state.

i might make a post about techniques for getting into the state of pure awareness, but this post is already long enough.

method two: destabilization of awareness

this method gets over complicated, but it basically boils down to two steps. destabilize your awareness, and then shift.

honestly, most shifting methods i see online are in some way doing this. lucid dreams, the hypnogogic state, SATS, self-hypnosis, "symptoms", and also all those iterations of the "raven method" the "staircase method" the "alice in wonderland method" etc are all basically ways to destabilize your awareness from the linear perception it is so used to in this point of reality, offering the opportunity of triggering a shift to a different one. they're all sort of either distracting or subverting your focus on the 3D here in this point of reality.

basically, you'll be trying to discombobulate yourself to the point your awareness is not focused on 3D reality, and trigger a shift.

method three: absence of awareness

sleep method gang, rise up. i'm serious. this method involves reducing your awareness to zero, or as close to it as possible, another potentially prime state to trigger a shift. (and by sleep method, i don't mean lucid dreamers or SATS, i mean simply going to sleep here, having a period of complete unawareness, like totally dreamless sleep, and then waking up in your DR.)

this absence of awareness during sleep is (in my experience) the most common cause of accidental or unintentional shifts, but you might be one of those who can trigger a shift to desired realities with this too.

sleeping is not the only way to get to the state of the lack of awareness. i'd say total distraction methods also count for this. you're not asleep, your body is awake, but you're so "zoned out" (or alternatively in a meditative state such that) you're absolutely not aware of the 3D experience of this point of reality anymore.

this is completely different from the state of pure awareness by the way, because in the state of pure awareness you are aware. like, in pure awareness you have a full train of thought and total control. the absence of awareness is the opposite. it feels sort of like a "blip" where reality time and space passed you by and you were not aware of it.

STOP bringing shifttok misinfo on shiftblr.

Shifting is easy. If you believe otherwise you're not educated enough on it.

You don't need a method to shift.

You are pure consciousness regardless of what you're doing.

You don't even need an intention to shift.

Physical symptoms have nothing to do with shifting.

Consciousness is not in you, you are in consciousness.

You can still shift if you're lazy, effort is not required.

Only you can shift yourself, stop depending on others.

Attempts don't exist. You're always shifting. There's no failed shifting 'attempt'.

You can still shift with self-doubt.

Shifting is not a process.

Shifting is instant, your cr is your past.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP SAYING YOU'RE SABOTAGING YOURSELF!!! It's manifesting because you're letting it.

There is no such term as minishifted, a shift is a shift.

You don't have an OR (original reality) you're shifting every second you're not bond here.

CR=DR they're the same, the only thing that separates you is the mindset.

You don't need to affirm 24/7.

It's not necessary to reprogram your subconscious.

You can shift for whatever reason it's your reality.

You don't have to feel it real you'll get it anyways. But if it helps congratulations.

Feeling your feels no matter how 'negative' won't stop you from shifting.

Yes you can script ANYTHING.

"but I've tried everything" have you tried letting it go?

Shifting is a decision not magic.

— EVER AFTER HIGH PARENT IDEAS ( and your DESTINY, if you choose to follow it )

　　.   　　˚　　 　　*　　 　　✦　　　.　　.　　　✦　˚ 　　　　 ˚　.˚　　　　✦　　　.　　. 　 ˚　.　

⋆˙⟡ SUGARPLUM FAIRY. .　　. 　 ˚　. imagine walking through life, as quite literally every one your steps leaves a trail of glitter and sweet, sugary melodies. as the child of the Sugarplum Fairy, you’re a dreamy whirlwind of pastel hues, frothy tulle outfits, and shimmering wings that sparkle under any light. your destiny? to dance through the world, spreading joy and enchantment, but the conflict lies in balancing your saccharine charm with a rebellious streak—do you really want to follow the same delicate, sugar-dusted path, or is there more to you than meets the eye, something deeper underneath that syrupy shimmering exterior?

⋆˙⟡ JAFAR. .　　. 　 ˚　. you drip with surreal, desert glam—rich, jewel-toned fabrics that shimmer like a mirage, gold accents that gleam under every light, and a serpentine elegance that commands attention. as Jafar’s child, your destiny involves mastering ancient magic and wielding immense power, but you may constantly find yourself struggling between the allure of ultimate control, and the desire to break free from the shadow of your father’s tyrannical ambitions. will you follow in his footsteps to seize the throne of Agrabah, or rewrite your own destiny and become a force for good?

⋆˙⟡ RUMPLESTILTSKIN. .　　. 　 ˚　. decked out in of dark, earthy tones with a splash of gold, your look is mysterious and mischievous—think intricate patterns, tattered cloaks, and a smirk that says you know everyone’s secrets (spoiler: you do.) it goes without saying that your look is… off-putting. people shoot you weird looks in the hallway, no matter how nice you are. your destiny? to spin straw into gold and strike cunning deals, but the real issue lies in escaping the shadow of your infamous parent. do you embrace the trickster life, or can you rewrite your story and find a way to use your magic for something greater than just personal gain?

⋆˙⟡ THE TIN MAN. .　　. 　 ˚　. clad in surreal, metallic glam, your look shines with silver hues, intricate clockwork accessories, and a heart motif that subtly reminds everyone of your legacy. your destiny revolves around finding and protecting the heart you’ve inherited, while embracing the strength and resilience of your metal heritage. the conflict? balancing your desire to feel deeply with the fear of vulnerability—can you show your true emotions without rusting your resolve, or will the weight of your father’s past keep you guarded and distant from everyone?

⋆˙⟡ DOCTOR FACILIER. .　　. 　 ˚　. you’re a surreal mix of voodoo chic and glam—dark, flowing fabrics with pops of vibrant purples and greens, enchanted talismans, and a top hat that always seems to cast a sinister shadow over your eyes just right. your destiny is to walk the line between charm and danger, dealing in mystical fortunes and shadowy magic, but struggling with the legacy of your father’s deals with the dark forces is tough—do you embrace the power and risk falling into their trap, or can you carve out your own path of magic without losing your very soul?

⋆˙⟡ THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST. .　　. 　 ˚　. your unshakeable glamor comes with a dark twist—emerald greens, dramatic capes, and a splash of daggering rebellion that makes even the darkest clouds shimmer. your destiny is intimately tied to mastering powerful magic and rewriting the narrative of wickedness, emphasized by the small cluster of winged apes you see outside your window sometimes, but the conflict? battling the shadow of your infamous mother while deciding if you’ll embrace the “wicked” label, or rise above it to create your own story. can you turn the storm of expectations into your own magical whirlwind, or will you be caged by the legacy of skybound wickedness?

⋆˙⟡ ARIEL. .　　. 　 ˚　. half-human and half-mermaid (for now) you’re all surreal underwater glam—flowing fabrics that shimmer like the ocean, pearlescent accessories, and hair that always seems to have a touch of sea breeze in it. you’re destined to explore the balance between land and sea, singing your heart out and maybe even falling for a human. but living in the shadow of your mother’s tale, torn between the call of the ocean’s depths and the allure of the surface world, where every step feels like it could change your fate, isn’t as easy as it seems. even before you sign the Storybook of Legends, you can’t seem to escape being caught between two worlds

⋆˙⟡ KING MIDAS. .　　. 　 ˚　. dripping in gold from head to toe, everything about you is pure luxury—opulent fabrics, gilded accessories, and an air of untouchable royalty. being the child of King Midas means your destiny is all about turning everything you touch into gold, but here’s the catch: it’s a blessing and a curse. the conflict? learning to connect with others without the fear of turning them into statuesque gold statues, and figuring out how to value the things that can’t be measured in wealth along the way. maybe if you don’t sign the Storybook of Legends, everything around you won’t turn gold and cold—who knows?

⋆˙⟡ URSULA. .　　. 　 ˚　. with a fierce, sea-inspired energy to you and your wardrobe, your aesthetic is all about dramatic flair—sleek, oceanic shades, statement jewelry, and a touch of deep-sea darkness. as Ursula’s kid, your destiny involves wielding powerful, transformative magic and charming others with your silver tongue. but it’s heavy, dark, living under the pressure of either following in your mother’s tentacled footsteps as a master manipulator, or choosing to rise above the sea witch legacy to create your own wave of destiny

⋆˙⟡ JACK FROST. .　　. 　 ˚　. with a whimsical yet icy glamour, your look is all frosted blues, sparkling whites, and shimmering accents that catch the light like fresh snow. being Jack Frost’s kid means your destiny revolves around bringing winter wonder to the world, but you still have to decide if you’ll embrace the cold, distant legacy of your frosty father. can you balance being a literal force of nature with the desire you might have to be a little bit warmer, maybe a bit more serious? after all, life can’t be all snowball fights all the time, can it?

⋆˙⟡ CAPTAIN HOOK. .　　. 　 ˚　. with a look that practically screams rebellious pirate chic—think leather jackets, rugged boots, and a smirk that could sink ships—you’re dripping in cool without trying. as Captain Hook’s kid, your destiny involves mastering the art of swashbuckling, treasure hunting, and living life on the edge. but deciding whether to follow the old man’s footsteps and embrace the pirate’s life, or forge your own path in a world that expects you to be a villain, turns out to be harder than you think. the pirate ship and the trunks of jewels are beyond cool, but your heart might secretly long for something different—something on land

⋆˙⟡ THE HOOKAH CATERPILLAR. .　　. 　 ˚　. your whole identity is pure surrealism mixed with dreamy glam—soft, flowing fabrics in misty blues and purples, with intricate patterns that swirl like smoke. as the child of the Hookah Caterpillar, your destiny involves guiding others through their journeys of self-discovery and transformation. however, you have your own desire to explore life’s mysteries, one that makes it difficult to navigate being the calm, wise figure people seek out. do you stay grounded in your wisdom, or lose yourself to the endless possibilities of wonderland?

⋆˙⟡ TINKERBELL. .　　. 　 ˚　. blending whimsical woodland charm and dashes of pixie dust that glitz and shimmer, you flit through life in sparkling greens, fluttery fabrics, and just the right amount of gently carved accessories of wood and flower. being Tinkerbell’s child means your destiny is tied to fixing things and spreading magic, but balancing your love for adventure with the weight of expectations is hard—are you happy to be just a sidekick meant to assist others, or do you carve out your own spotlight and prove you’re capable of much more than your destiny leaves room for?

⋆˙⟡ THE CANDY WITCH. .　　. 　 ˚　. you’re a surreal mix of sugary sweetness and dark whimsy—think candy-colored fabrics with sharp, gothic undertones, lollipop accessories, and an air of dangerous charm. as the child of the Candy Witch, your destiny involves concocting magical treats and wielding confectionery spells—but fighting the urge to follow the sinister path of luring unsuspecting little ones to their death is hard, when everyone expects you to be that terrible. if you avoid signing the Storybook of Legends, can you concoct a sweeter destiny, one where your magic is used for good, while proving you’re more than just a chip off the old (gingerbread) block

⋆˙⟡ THE NUTCRACKER. .　　. 　 ˚　. your wardrobe consists of exclusively crisp, regal uniforms with your own little twists—nutcracker-inspired embellishments, metallic accents, and hints of festive magic here and there. as the next Nutcracker, you’re destined to spend your life protecting and bringing joy, leading magical battles and standing up for what’s right. but you find it hard to balance the duty of your heritage with the desire to break free from the rigid expectations of being a protector. can you find a way to honor tradition while still marching to the beat of your own drum?

⋆˙⟡ BLUEBEARD. .　　. 　 ˚　. blending gothic opulence with a dash of eerie elegance, you’re all about deep, moody blues, intricate lace, and key-shaped accessories that hint at locked-away secrets. being Bluebeard’s kid, your destiny is entangled with unlocking the mysteries of your family’s dark past. you’re forced to decide whether to embrace the legacy of hidden truths and dark deeds, or break the cycle by shining a light on the secrets that haunt you, proving that your story doesn’t have to end in tragedy, and you can break free of the dank castle your family is tied to

Remember why you started shifting in the first place.

For someone? To get away from here? Better life? Love? Desire to explore? Don't forget that. It's 2025, i do not care how long have you been a shifter, remember what year you started and why did you start shifting.

And if you're remembering it right now? Let me tell you, don't you ever throw away something that was worth to fight for that long of a journey.

Whatever the hell is your reason to give up, but don't ever have your reasoning to be because you think you're getting absolutely nowhere. That's not a reason, that's an excuse. Don't have your dedication be thrown away over an excuse than a reason.

I need you to keep going, this will be the moment of your life for you, and us.

[sunshineshifts]

been thinking about making a Once Upon a Time dr lately...

[sunshineshifts]

it’s okay to permashift

it’s okay to use a faceclaim

it’s okay to shift for romance

it’s okay to doubt shifting

it’s okay to take breaks

it’s okay to not have a script

shift for YOU!

[sunshineshifts]

✶  the reason why you’re waking up in your cr every morning.

you.

it’s always been you. it’s the way you believe, even in the smallest, quietest corners of your heart. it’s the whispers of your mind that say, “this is real for me,” even when everything else feels loud and unsure. shifting is yours. it’s like a love letter to yourself, written in stardust and sealed with intention.

too much pressure on the outcome : when you’re obsessing over when or how you’ll shift, it can create resistance. it's like trying to force yourself to fall asleep—when you overthink it, you make it harder. shifting thrives on calm, detached belief, not stress. — what to do?  relax. trust it’s already yours. take the pressure off by focusing on the journey instead of obsessing over results.

subconscious doubts : deep down, some shifters think, “what if it’s not real?” or “what if i can’t do this?” these thoughts linger in the subconscious and stop you from fully letting go. — what to do?  reprogram your mind. use affirmations like, “i shift with ease.” consistency is key—your subconscious will catch on.

lack of clarity : sometimes people don’t have a clear enough picture of their DR. if your mind doesn’t know where to go, it’s like trying to drive without a destination. — what to do?  script or visualise with detail. feel the emotions, imagine the smells, the textures, the sounds of your dr. the more vivid, the easier it is for your mind to lock in.

overthinking the methods : you don’t need to do every shifting method under the sun or stress about doing it “right.” shifting isn’t about the method—it’s about belief. — what to do?  stick to what feels natural. whether it’s the raven method, affirmations, or just falling asleep with intent, find what works for you and trust it.

inconsistent practice : if you’re only trying once in a while, it’s like going to the gym once a month and expecting abs. shifting is a skill, and like any skill, it takes consistent effort. — what to do?  create a routine. whether it’s nightly affirmations, meditation, or daydreaming about your dr, make it a regular part of your life.

fear of success or change : this one’s sneaky. some people unknowingly fear the responsibility, emotions, or changes that come with living in their dr. it’s a self-sabotage thing—your brain loves the comfort zone. — what to do?  address your fears. journal about why you deserve your dr. remind yourself it’s safe to want what you want.

not fully letting go before sleep : if you’re stressing about shifting while you fall asleep, you’re not allowing your mind to fully detach. letting go is essential.— what to do?  try a wind-down routine. listen to subliminals, meditate, or journal. get yourself into a relaxed, dreamy state before bed.

impatience : this one’s tough because, you know you’re ready. but constantly checking if it’s “working” or trying to rush the process can create mental blocks. — what to do?  focus on feeling like you’re already there. patience is power. trust that it’s unfolding in divine timing.

ignoring physical health : neglecting your physical needs—like poor sleep, dehydration, or stress—can mess with your ability to shift, then you'll just get overwhelmed. your body and mind need to feel good to align. — what to do?  take care of yourself. drink water, sleep well, and keep your energy balanced. a healthy body supports a focused mind.

comparing yourself to others : seeing other shifters’ success stories can make you feel like you’re doing something wrong. but everyone’s journey is different. — what to do?  celebrate your progress. remind yourself that your timeline is perfect, and you’re on the right path.

here are a couple snapchat things I made using Flash Cast photos that are meant to be from my DR ..

the iceberg lettuce thing is a reference to how I once kept posting random photos of a friend from this reality with different drink names over him like "iced tea" or "hot chocolate" . I am strange for the sole purpose of being strange

How i deal with negative thoughts ೃ❀࿔

premise

I understand how NOT helpful it can be to be told “just persist” when dealing with doubts

Even though it’s true, i often found myself wondering HOW to actually persist and not dwell on bad thoughts.

Keep in mind that im -diagnosed- with ocd, i know exactly how overwhelming thoughts can get and the anxiety and spirals that can come with it.

so, how to do it?

♡ It’s important to affirm. As soon as you get ONE contradicting thought, go “No, that’s not it, not the case anymore. Now it’s xyz”.

If needed just rant and rant about how your desire is already here and all that stuff. Affirm for a while, literally.

♡ Now, when it gets TOOOO overwhelming?? I found a little “method” that really helps me come back to the present moment, even discussing it with my therapist she said it was a very very good idea.

When my affirmations do not help me get back on track, i bring myself back to the present moment by saying (this is best if done outloud in my opinion ) what you are doing, and then your affirmation, let me give you an example:

“I’m brushing my hair and i have 10k €s”

“I’m breathing slowly and i’m in my dream college”

Do this until you need to.

♡ Another thing i suggest to do, if the bad thoughts just won’t leave you alone, force yourself to visualise a scenario in which it is done.

Visualising (visualising, not imagining) requires more effort than affirming. Really focus on the scene and all the senses.

♡ lastly! You can do this if you’re at home, when you can’t get rid of bad thoughts, hears me out, exercise, exercise and each rep affirm, i promise this sounds silly but helps a lot!!

I promise you got this! I know maybe u do not really believe this but NEGATIVE THOUGHTS GET BETTER!!!

I too had my highs and lows, but repetition really does help those thoughts. I promise they will get less and less, you will learn to deal with them!!! Do not give up! And take care of yourself!🎀🧘‍♀️

the other day i was doing Really Bad and i went to put on my comfort show (the flash, also my main dr) and i couldn't bc netflix was already being used by two other ppl on the acc and i was so upset but as i was taking my headphones out. they fell onto my screen. swiped up, opened google, and clicked the search in my search history for my favorite animal (giant anteaters) like Okay. i think that was either a message from my s/o or just the universe trying to comfort me. i refuse to believe it was just a wild coincidence

[sunshineshifts]

scripting that im good at lying simply so I can pretend to not know very popular franchises and fuck with everyone around me

someone: so I was watching star wars-

me: is that that new movie I've been hearing about

someone: star wars? is star wars new?

me: yeah I've been hearing abt it lately what is it

someone: wh. what is star wars? you don't know what star wars is?

me: should i

[sunshineshifts]

what should i visualise when shifting?

You can visualize the place you wake up in.

You can visualize scenarios you scripted.

You can visualize characters from your other reality.

In general, absolutely anything you want.
