✵ UNDERSTANDING THE FEAR. The fear of actually shifting to your DR is such a sneaky block because it’s not something we expect to feel. Like, you’re doing all this work (visualizing, affirming, scripting, etc) and yet deep down, you might be scared of actually getting what you want. It’s wild, but it makes sense when you break it down.
✵ WHY SUCCESS MIGHT FEEL SCARY.
— Even if you’ve visualized your DR a million times or planned your DR down to the last detail, but actually being there is a completely new experience. What’s it actually going to feel like to be there? What if things don’t go how you imagined? That uncertainty can trigger a lowkey (or not so lowkey) fear.
— Success comes with its own pressure. Once you shift, it’s easy to start overthinking. What if I can’t do it again? What if it’s not what I expected? That “what if” spiral can get overwhelming. And that might create a fear of succeeding.
— Even if you don’t love your CR, it’s still comfortable because it’s familiar. Leaving behind parts of it, even if it’s just for a short amount of time, (people, routines, or even just your identity in this reality) can feel heavier than you realize.
— What if your DR doesn’t live up to the dream? What if it’s not perfect? That fear can make success feel risky, and your brain might unconsciously try to avoid it altogether.
✵ HOW THIS FEAR MESSES WITH YOU. This fear doesn’t usually scream “I’m scared to succeed!” It shows up in subtle ways like procrastinating, feeling “stuck,” constantly tweaking your script, overthinking your method, or second-guessing yourself. It’s like your mind is putting up invisible walls without you even realizing it.
✵ WHY PEOPLE DON’T TALK ABOUT IT. This fear gets ignored because it feels backwards, like why would you be scared of getting what you want? Plus, in the shifting community, everyone’s so focused on HOW to shift, they don’t always talk about the emotional side of it. It’s easier to think you’re just “doing it wrong” than to realize you might be holding yourself back.
✵ HOW TO GET PAST IT.
— Acknowledge it. The first step is being honest with yourself. Ask, Am I scared of actually shifting to my DR? Once you see it for what it is, it’s easier to work through.
— Instead of obsessing over the moment you shift, think about how you’re going to feel and thrive once you’re there. Build that excitement so it outweighs the fear.
— Remind yourself you’ve got this. You’ve done the work, and you’re capable of handling whatever comes up in your DR. Affirmations like “I’m ready for this” or “I trust myself” really help.
— Your DR doesn’t have to be perfect for it to be worth experiencing. Give yourself room to explore and grow. Nothing has to be set in stone.
— Shifting doesn’t have to be some huge, dramatic moment. Every step (big or small) you take is progress, so don’t psych yourself out by making it feel bigger than it is.
✵ FINAL THOUGHTS. So yeah, fear of success is real, but it doesn’t have to stop you. The key is recognizing it for what it is and deciding it’s not going to hold you back. You’ve already done the hard part by getting this far, trust that you’re ready for what’s waiting on the other side.
I can't stop thinking about this. This feeling. Looking at a screen and knowing that it's them but it's not THEM.
Okay but what if I actually wake up there tomorrow?
“Yeah no girl I don’t think you will-“ shut up inner elala.
Like bro, I’ll be there, I’ll see THEM, I’ll see HIM.
I know this is gonna sound corny and stupid but what I’m feeling is the same excitement that I felt before my first play (yes I do acting in this reality).
It’s like knowing what’s going to happen, but this time is different because there’s going to be an audience right? Because it’s going to be real, and you can’t back down anymore, maybe you’ll forget that one line of dialogue or you’ll have to improvise some words of that one monologue, but it still feels amazing to know you’re there.
“Yeah no don’t get your hopes up-“
i just had a thought and i need to write it down here because i'm afraid if i don't i'll just forget it instantly and move to another one (this is like a reminder for me but i'm sure you could maybe identify to it too!)
do. you. really. want. to. shift?
like living there, BEING there? living all these experiences, feeling all these emotions?
or do you only like the idea of WANTING it? do you only like fantasizing your DR?
because i change DRs so many times that doing my scripts and consuming all this content about my DRs and their world feel like it's only something i enjoy to do. like any other thing you like to do.
so i repeat my question? do you like what daydreaming about your DR all the time gives you emotionally, or do you actually WANT to experience it by yourself?

(= "something to reflect on" in french)
This weekend I was out with some friends of mine and then me and some friends decided to back home early, and on the way home we ended up talking about lucid dreaming and then the conversation from there went to shifting somehow.
In my mind I was like "alright, time to study this uncharted territory" (note: I never talked about shifting with any ot my friends, they have no idea I know about it) so I very innocently and clamly asked "really? what do you guys think about it?" and at that moment I instantly recalled what instant regret felt like.
In a nutshell: one of my friends had absolutely no idea what shifting actually was and had the wrong idea (because of 2020 shiftok) and doesn't think that it is true and the other in the past tried but didn't succeed and also had a wrong idea about what shifting actually was and therefore currently doesn't really belief in it (in any of this cases the word reality was never mentioned, so I don't even think that they knew shifting envolved shifting realities), there was more mentioned but I don't people want to be recalled of the atrocities that were being spread back in 2020 shiftok, so I will not mention them for mine and your peace of mind.
Some part of me wanted to say something about it and correct those misinformed friends of mine and even explain to them what shifting actually was, however the logical part of my brain spoke louder and arrived to realization that despite how opened minded my friends are maybe for them shifting is a stretch, so I just remained there with my water bottle in my hands and my gaze alternating between them as they talked about it. It also made me thankful for the fact that I wasn't on shiftok back in 2020, the misinformation really was as bad as people on community say it was.
However, this experience reminded me of something I wanted to remind everyone of. A lot more people than we know heard about shifting at some point, however, not everyone actually gave themselves the work of actually understanding what shifting actually is and how it works, not everyone realized the truth in shifting and how actually logic it is.
Yet here you are, yes you that's reading this, you gave yourself the world to understand it and seek to live all the lives you want. You believe in it and you are on your way home were you have everything you want and desire.
You were meant to find shifting, you are meant to shift to where you want, you are destined to be home.
You could have heard about and ignored it like so many did, you tried and failed and called it fake and everyone that succeeded a liar, you could have come up with some excuse an quit it. However you now know that it is real and you believe in shifting. You are going to shift and be in your wr's and/or dr's with everyone you love.
Shifting is your past, present and future. You got this. Go shift. Go home.
I miss my s/o so badly, like I just need to kiss his face, play board games, bake together, go on silly dates, talk whole night, just walk through city, watch our favourite shows and movies and just be people PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE NEED THAT RIGHT NOW
god i love being able to wear what i want in my dr. like bro i could dress like 2000s beyonce one day and then like a literal forest cryptid the next, it's so amazing
saw this post and it made so much sense like why can we shift back to this reality just by thinking of it and saying we want to go back (something like that) in ANY reality we shift to but then in this reality we “can’t” ? I feel like it’s such a good way to explain how easy it is to shift!
