AND WE KEEP GOING (SHIFTING) !
Getting Comfortable in the State of Preparation
Why Shifters Often Get Stuck Here
Have you ever caught yourself spending hours making scripts, mood boards, and playlists for your Desired Reality (DR) but rarely (or never) actually attempting to shift? You’re not alone—this is super common in the shifting community or so I noticed after one of my posts. Many shifters fall into a pattern of preparation, where the process of getting ready feels more comfortable than the act of shifting itself.
1. Preparation Feels Safe
Making scripts and mood boards gives you a sense of control and progress. It’s exciting and comforting because it connects you to your DR without the frustration or fear of a failed attempt.
2. Perfectionism
Feeling like you need the perfect script, playlist, or method before you shift. This turns into an endless cycle of preparation because you never feel “ready enough.”
3. Dopamine Rush
Planning triggers a dopamine release—the thrill of imagining your DR can be addictive! It gives you a taste of your DR without actually shifting, so it’s easy to keep doing it.
4. Community Validation
Sharing your playlists, scripts, or mood boards in the shifting community can feel nice. It’s a way to bond with others, but it can also make the focus shift (pun intended!) from actual shifting to just the idea of shifting.
5. Procrastination as a Defense Mechanics
Procrastination is often rooted in fear. For some shifters, it’s easier to stay in the “preparation” phase.
6. Overwhelm
With so much information out there about shifting methods and scripting, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Instead of figuring out where to start, many shifters default to preparing because it feels more manageable.
If you find yourself stuck in this cycle, here are some tips that may help you refocus on actual shifting:
1. Shift the Focus to Actual Attempts
Remember that prep work is meant to support your shifting journey, not replace it. Set clear intentions for when you'll shift and stick to them.
2. Limit Prep Time
Give yourself a specific time frame for scripting or making mood boards (e.g., one day to make your script/ 1 hour a day for week). Then spend the rest of your time focusing on shifting.
(make sure to not be overwhelmed if you set a specific time that you are not comfortable with)
3. Visualize Instead of Overplanning
Focus on feeling like you’re in your DR. You don’t need every detail scripted; your subconscious can fill in the blanks.
(for people who feel like they can't trust their subconscious: your subconscious is YOU, it knows what you want. Your subconscious is never going against you; it always working with your desires you only need to allow to give it to you)
4. Try a “Prep Detox”
Take a break from all the prep work and focus solely on shifting for a few days. You might find it easier to connect with your DR this way. You'll see how easier shifting will become when you focus your energy on actually doing it rather then on finishing your script or making a new Pinterest board (no shade)
5. Reframe the Habit
See scripting and playlists as stepping stones, not the destination. Keep reminding yourself: the real reward is your DR, not the finished script.
6. Consistency Over Perfection
You don’t need to feel perfectly prepared to shift. Trust that you yourself is enough.
Getting stuck in the preparation stage doesn’t mean you’re not capable of shifting. It’s just a habit, and like any habit, it can be shifted (pun intended again)! Remember, your DR is waiting for you—it’s time to shift! :)

me realising that I manifested my dr self mindset and energy in this reality
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look inside myself
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
Hot girls use shifting as a form of escape
One thing about shifting is it never really leaves you after you do it, like you have a whole different life out there that you lived and you are telling me that you are just going to stop shifting to that reality because you are bored of it? I don’t think people realise that once you are there, there will be things you are going to get emotional attached to and people as well.
Personally when I decide to shift to a dr that because I’ll always come back to it and I love that so much.
(i do realise this is different for people who got traumatized in their drs)
