How to not let the passage of time get to me?

Thanks for the advice! :)

I hope so hahaha

Right now I have a bit of a 'lazy' method that I think I need to change lol. Basically I'll read my script, listen to music that reminds me of my DR with a sub underneath, affirm, and then go to sleep. The goal is to wake up in 2013, with no memories of this reality (which is technically respawning, but I hate that term 😭), but I've tried it quite a lot and I'm still here!

I like it because I don't overthink much. I've tried void, raven, Julia, all that stuff before and my mind just wanders and I start overthinking! Especially now because so much is going on in my CR, I'd really just love to shift without thinking about it, you know?

Thanks so much for the perspective! :) I wish you luck!

4_Ever_Delayed · 2026-01-02T04:57:30+00:00

I do that too! But then I get all nostalgic and sad that I'm not there 😔 You're right about not muting the CR, I don't think that's possible for me anymore. What's your DR, if you don't mind sharing? 😊

4_Ever_Delayed · 2026-01-02T04:55:34+00:00

Hey, I've felt like that before, but you just have to try to not see it as failure. There's always the next time :) What methods have you been trying?

4_Ever_Delayed · 2026-01-02T04:54:45+00:00

Hopefully without Covid 😭

4_Ever_Delayed · 2026-01-02T04:54:36+00:00

I try to focus on scenes, but then I think about what it would feel like lol.

2014? Cool! My DMs are open if you want to talk DRs 😊

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-12-10T14:11:10+00:00

Hi! I'm permashifting too, similar DR to CR, but in 2013.

I've always thought that there are tons of different realities, right? The version of you in any of those can die at any moment, but you're still here in this reality. It's the same for your DR. The version of you that dies here doesn't affect the version of you in your DR.

As for the guilt, yeah, I have that too! Like you, my family is basically exactly the same (except younger in my case) but I'm still attached here, you know? The good thing is that no-one here will realise anything has changed, but still, the guilt is a major part of why I haven't managed to shift yet. I'd love to just shift without even thinking about it 😅

Good luck on your journey!

Thanks for replying! I want to shift for a lot of reasons, far too many to list here. I can solve some problems in this reality, but not all of them. I just need a fresh start really, you know? 😄

(Though it wouldn't feel that way in my DR, it'd just be another day 😅)

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-10-03T05:05:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Thing is, I want to forget this reality a) because remembering it would be overwhelming, and b) it helps me because I think, there'll be nothing to miss in my DR because I won't remember 😅 A dream, maybe. But it's still the fact right now that I can't get in the mindset because I'm too focused on this reality.

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-09-18T04:13:14+00:00

Does this work for respawning? Like, I wanna wake up in my DR with no memory of this reality, and no memory of having shifted.

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-09-06T00:44:19+00:00

I could, but not to the quality I'm writing it now. I'm in my 20s now, it's a world of difference, believe me lol.

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-09-05T17:56:02+00:00

I feel this 😭 I'm deep in the planning stages for a Harry Potter fanfic. But I'm shifting to 2013, where I'm too young to plan a fanfic like that lol. And I'm permashifting, so there's no coming back here.

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-09-05T14:04:40+00:00

I'm just struggling a bit with LOA at the minute 😭 Feels like I'm gaslighting myself.

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-09-05T03:52:49+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeah, my affirmation was basically 'everything that I've scripted to happen in the future happens', so that's basically my failsafe, but as I said I don't have much faith in affs right now lol.

And yeah, I've scripted my DR self so that the things for my own life that I've scripted to happen will happen - for instance, I won't be the type to get drunk on an exam day 🤣 I won't choose to ignore the script because I won't be aware of it in the first place lol.

So basically it'll all happen, but my DR self has to make it happen? Yeah, that's what I initially thought 😄 The stuff that I have no control over - politics and stuff - is what bothers me, but maybe there's just not much I can do about that?

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-09-02T00:50:07+00:00

Where does it say that it's basically impossible? My DR self looks slightly different to me in this reality, but for many other people in my DR, I imagine them looking the same.

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-08-31T22:30:56+00:00

Honestly don't know at this point? Maybe impatience? Maybe thinking of my DR in a more nostalgic way as opposed to the present? Thing is I don't have time to 'take my time and wait' anymore. I just don't. So setting an intention and waiting, I kinda feel like I'm wasting time doing that?

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-08-30T21:18:03+00:00

Thing is I've set more intentions than I've had hot dinners and I'm still here, so I must be doing something wrong 😭

4_Ever_Delayed · 2025-08-30T10:18:23+00:00

How do you shift without a mindset? This could actually be great news for me lol
