My shifting journey

Home Page What is shifting? Helpfull stuff from tumblr!

General information

I've been trying to shift since november of 2018. I haven't shifted yet, but I'm getting there. I learned about it via tiktok, and ofcourse, that messed with my brain, as the amount of misinformation out there is insane. I now mostly get my information off of Tumblr. Which, slay, because tumblr users are hella smart!! I am gonna attempt to document my attempts here, and write down what I did this attempt. And what worked/ didn't work. This way I'll have a database to look back on, and I can truely figure out what works for me. But I do believe I'm already really close. (I've been saying this since June 2024, it's march 2025 as of reading this) But truely! I'm getting there! I will not give up!

Alright, so, I haven't really been actively trying. Well, I did try a few times in the time I haven't updated this page. But not a lot. So, Let me explain why. The thing is, I'm lazy. So I keep not trying and just deciding to sleep or daydream instead. I'm very busy in my CR right now. (3 ish months untill I have my exams) so I have been focussing on that. I am however probably gonna try again tonight. (I don't have school tomorrow. And I keep spending time on janitor.ai, (I know, using ai to roleplay. I am disgusting and should die cuz I'm singlehandedly killing nature) anyways, I am inspired. I thinkI might just shift to a universe I know nothing about, and kinda create my whole own story?

(just with my usual DR self. This way it doesn't really matter as much to me wether I shift or not. Because I'm not that excited for this new DR.)

(it's Call of Duty related, cause I like the character designs lmao).

I'm hoping to take some of the pressure off my shoulders surrounding shifting and making the shifting process itself a calm experience, instead of a boring yet stressfull one.

Okay so. I was trying a mix of the julia method, and the void state method. I put on a subliminal, because that gets me in a shifty mood, and kept saying I am. And I very quickly entered a meditative state. However!! I got lazy, and kept thinking "oh I'd rather just be daydreaming." This is a problem I have. Whenever I'm bored, or even slightly upset, I start to daydream to escape those feelings. (I'm a maladaptice daydreamer. I daydream like 6 hours a day...) But yeah, that really is something which always throws me off kilter. As whenever I try to shift, I start daydreaming. And for me that is not something which I use for shifting, because I also use it to fall asleep. So my brain already associates it with sleeping. So using it to shift just ends up with me asleep. I think what I need to do, is train my brain to be okay with boredom. (meditation) And not immediatly let my brain try to fill those spaces with daydreams.
