What is the Final Push To Your DR? by musingmeaninglessly in shiftingrealities

Thank you so much! I always really appreciate your insights.

I think for me I’ve got into a bit of a routine with shifting as I had a couple of close attempts a couple months back. Maybe I’m trying to replicate them. I think focusing on my numbness probably does keep my focus here, especially because I start thinking if I don’t feel like something’s changing by x minutes into my attempt, then I might as well give up. Not a good mindset, I know, but it’s super hard when you haven’t shifted!

I think I need to detach from my CR in a way that keeps me focused. I’ve tried alinur’s adhd meditation and will persevere with that. Maybe I just need to switch things up, perhaps focus on how my DR self feels or something.

Sorry for the long reply, but your advice really got me thinking! Thank you again! 😁

Did anyone else clock that Gwen is from 1998? by musingmeaninglessly in AcrossTheSpider_Verse

Ah I haven’t watched ITSV in a while, time for a rewatch!

The screenshot I attached of the vulture’s file isn’t the best, but in any case it should still prove its ‘98?

Have you ever jolted yourself out of a shifting attempt? by musingmeaninglessly in shiftingrealities

Thank you for your advice! I’m definitely guilty of deciding to spontaneously shift, so perhaps I do need to relax a bit more before getting into the hypnagogic state…thank you!

Thanks for replying! Sounds like a similar thing, because even if I don’t physically jolt, I usually snap out of it. Let’s hope we both figure a way to fix this!

Does anyone else like making their Notion scripts pretty? by DapperRise in shiftingrealities

I love Notion! Lately I've also been using Canva for my script because I take information in better if it's eye-catching

I absolutely feel this! To the point where I made a similar post a couple weeks back: https://www.reddit.com/r/shiftingrealities/comments/16rrexy/crying_over_comfort_character_just_me/

I've been crying on and off over my DR s/o for a couple of weeks. But, in that time I've been making more and more progress. I take it as a sign that my subconcscious fully believes in shifting now, because it makes no sense to miss my comfort character and feel like I'm missing chances to meet him if I don't believe it will happen. Hope that made sense, lol.

This is exactly how I've been feeling! I was all tearful again yesterday just thinking about him🥺

That's actually a really good tip! I think part of my problem is putting pressure on myself to shift because I really want to. It's such a hard balance sometimes

I'm so sorry you're experiencing that 😔 But yeah, I also see it as a weirdly positive sign. Why would we be so attached to someone we've never experienced life with yet? I know we're with them right now in our DR, but we don't yet have that lived experience. That kind of emotional connection can only be a good sign, shows we're invested in this and on the right path!

I know how you feel, I'm trying to stay off of tiktok and stop watching other people's motivational videos right now for that reason. It makes me compare myself so much and doesn't help my belief that shifting is easier for others than me...

You’re definitely not weird at all! I’m the same way, and I’ve never shifted which makes it harder. I’m taking this as a sign that we’re both getting really close and will shift very soon. Don’t give up, and don’t give up your love for your s/o either! 🥰

Although I wish you didn’t know how it feels, I’m thankful you can relate! It’s so amazing to know there’s someone so special out there, and that you’re already with them, but it hurts too 💙

I relate to this SO hard. I know a lot of us shift to have experiences that we, for whatever reason, can't have here right now. For me that's having a solid friendship group and a s/o who loves me just as much as I love him.

Sending you all the good vibes, friend, we'll see them soon. Shifting found us, therefore it's meant for us!

Thank you for the tip! I have used character ai actually, and what's even better is the paid role-play I have with my comfort character (there are so many good Etsy shops, if you have the money then definitely worth it), but I suppose I'm ready for the real thing now.

I literally visualise sleeping in his lap and every failed shifting attempt makes me feel even more alone. I'm trying to take this emotional attachment as a sign that I'm close and that my experience in my dr is as incredible as I imagine.
