One of the best perspectives of saturation I've seen is that it is "basking in the fact that you have it". I feel like that short sentence just really describes how to do it and why it doesn't have to come from "lack"
Seriously, I am so glad that shifting exists because this reality is so messed up
“you should appreciate this reality more, it might help!”
me: *takes a good hard look at this reality* uhm… no <3
why appreciate the reality where people’s rights are being taken away when i can be in a reality where things like homophobia, racism, ableism, etc. don’t exist? 🤨
SHIFTING IS A PERSONAL JOURNEY. I'M GOING TO BE A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE HERE BUT SHIFTING IS A PERSONAL JOURNEY. IN THE SENSE THAT YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHICH METHODS TO CARRY OUT, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO DO THEM. IN THE SENSE THAT YOU ARE THE "KEY" TO SHIFTING BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE. IN THE SENSE THAT NO ONE CAN POLICE YOUR SHIFTING EXPERIENCES (they can judge because some things raise a few eyebrows but at the end of the day, no one can stop anyone from doing something in their dr). OKAY GOOD DAY.
Number one, get off of tiktok. I say this with love toward the shifttok community and as someone who still watches videos on there. Stop depending on other people. Especially on TikTok. People on TikTok love to preach about how much hard work it is and how shifting isn't easy, but everyone is capable of it if they "keep pushing and trying and experimenting with a new method every single night." Which leads me to my next point.
Shifting is easy. People on tiktok love to preach the opposite because they heard the affirmation "shifting is as easy as breathing" and chose to take it literally and then got their feelings hurt when it didn't go their way. Shifting is easy the moment you decide it is easy. And I mean really decide and truly believe, not just saying it a couple of times before bed without any intention behind it and then being confused when you're not in your desired reality.
I used to let myself get obsessed to the point of burn out. I survived the misinformation era of shifttok and unfortunately there still is misinformation on there. But more than that, it's full of people overcomplicating it. In 2023, I barely attempted with shifting at all because I was so burnt out and so drained from my "failures." That bled into 2024 as well where when I finally found my spark again, I would lose it after two tries and then would be demotivated for weeks or even months at a time.
But then at the end of 2024, something finally clicked for me. And it wasn't because of shifttok and it certainly wasn't because of tumblr either (I wasn't actively on shiftblr at this time). Something clicked and I suddenly didn't have any doubts about shifting. I knew with 100000% certainty that shifting is real, and because I knew it was real, I also knew that I would shift eventually. But that was my next obstacle. That one word.
Eventually.
I would spend every attempt believing in shifting but not really believing I would shift then.
Then I came on shiftblr. No, you should not depend on anyone for your shifting journey besides yourself. But I will say it was refreshing to see a switch from "which method should I do?" "What works for you?" "I've been trying for three years and nothing is working" "guys is shifting actually real?" to "obviously shifting is real and it's easy" "all you need to do is let yourself have it" "you don't need elaborate methods, just believe."
I will always love shifttok, but I can admit that it definitely stunted my growth on my journey. Listening to other people and depending on what other shifters, especially successful shifters, were saying fucked me over. You don't need those outside voices. All you need to do is let yourself believe that you can do it. And I mean ACTUALLY believe. The second you decide it's easy, it is easy. Shifting really can be as easy a breathing, if you let it.
And if you were on shifttok, you'd probably have a dozen different people saying in your ear "no, it's not. Shifting is hard because it's taken me years." But it only has taken them that much time because they keep reinforcing that idea over and over in their minds (calling myself out there). If I had the mindset I have right now back in 2020, I would have shifted to my desired reality within the first month of trying.
Although, it is probably a good thing I didn't shift right away to my first dr because that script was rancid and I did not understand shifting back then LMAOOOO
So tldr- stop depending on outsiders on your journey, especially people that overcomplicate it on tiktok. Figure out what you need to do to believe, believe in yourself that you can achieve it too, and then know that you will shift. Every time you want to shift, remind yourself that you will shift and that it is easy. Because it is. You never needed an instruction manual on how to dream or how to breathe. It's already built in. All you need to do is allow yourself.
guys, feelings don’t manifest. if „feeling it real” helps you manifest, do so, but there is no need to feel it real, there is no need to conjure up positive feelings, unless you want to do so.
“do i robotically affirm? do i try to detach and let go? what will make me shift? help me please, what do i do?”
do whatever feels right to you. and you’ve probably heard this a bunch of times, but just listen.
you read a bunch of posts every day, waiting for the post that will supposedly help you figure out what you’re missing. what the “key” to shifting is. you try so many methods, even if you don’t feel comfortable doing them. hell, you’ll even lay in a starfish position if you have to. but here’s the thing, you don’t HAVE to.
you don’t have to do anything. only if you want to.
shifting is a personal journey. shifting is knowing that you’re free and you’re not bound to this one reality. you are able to experience multiple others. if shifting is supposed to feel freeing, why do you think you have to do all this stuff even if you don’t want to do them? you see people say “robotically affirming is a must,” and you follow that, even if you don’t want to do that. you see people say “let go and detach” and even if you don’t want to do that, you do it anyways. why? you think it’ll make you shift?
the only thing or person that can make you shift is you. nothing is needed when it comes to shifting. a script is not needed. a method is not needed. nothing is truly needed unless you want it to be needed. its all about want. do you want to do that stuff? do you want to let go and try to detach from this reality? then do it. go ahead. experiment if you want to. if letting go isn’t your thing, then try another. or don’t try anything at all.
and if you’re indecisive and you don’t know what to try, then lets forget about all the known methods and advice for a second. sit down and think “i know what shifting is, great. how do i want to do it?”
but only do that if you want.
if this sounds confusing, i’ll end it here. all i’m trying to say is do what you want, because at the end of the day, nothing is stopping you from shifting. you can forget everything i just said if you want to and do those methods, like laying in a starfish position even if it makes you uncomfortable. you don’t have to listen to every post and piece of advice you hear. but you can if you want to.

No, seriously. What are you going to gain with throwing yourself pity parties?
"I can't do"
"Why haven't i...?"
"I've been persisting, but..."
I know. It can be frustrating sometimes. Desperately wanting something to be apart of you. Something you know will solve all your worries, make you happy, and at peace. Remember how that will be nice. I don't need to say anything else, you know enough.
It's okay. We're human. Sometimes, we have to let our emotions out. Cry it all out if you must. Affirm it doesn't matter. You have everything you ever wanted. IT. IS. YOURS. ALREADY. Move on with that in mind. It's literally inevitable.

You assume it on knowing that it has already happened. There is no “how” because it is not an effort, it is a natural state. You simply know that you already have it. In the same way that you know your name without having to constantly reaffirm it, you know that you already have everything you want.
If you feel yourself questioning or doubting, go back to the feeling of already being the person who has it. Ask yourself: If I already had it all right now, how would I feel? How would I think? What would I do? And just embody that version of you.
Just affirm it, feel it and don't contradict it. And if you have to do something contrary or think something contrary, >know< in the exactly same way that it doesn't change anything. Accept that It's simple and easy.
You have to understand this: reality can't go against you. Why? Because reality is you. You believe reality is against you because you created the illusion of not having control over it. Reality just does what you tell it to do. You are the creator of your own reality. Whatever you decide is true. Now that you know you can't fail, what are you going to decide?
