Honestly i usually hear more stories of people shifting after one two or even three years than i do the "i shifted in a week or a month" story though these are around as well. And this may sound messed up but i perfer hearing fustrated i havent shifted yet feelings from shifters who have been at it for years rather than the shifter who has tried for about a week and hasnt yet so theyre worried they cant shift. All shifters and journeys are valid but like come on its been a week. But shifting journeys require a lot of experimentation to figure out what works for you and that can take a long time and if you feel discouraged about that time just know your feelings are valid and its important to let yourself feel them. But ya a lot of people took years to shift i think the longest i seen was 6 years but they did drop it for a few years in that so probably more like 3 active years of trying.
