Does anyone else have any combined DRs? For example:
One of my DRs is the Guild Hunter universe because the idea of angels and vampires running around as part of normal everyday modern life sounds awesome. However, I don't want to be a member of the hunters' guild, I just want to be in that world so I can romance an angel or a vampire. So I had to come up with a different job for myself.
Since the angels are the upper tier of society that most normal people don't interact with, I figured that I needed to do something that would make them interested in me or make me valuable to them. There's a lot of reference throughout the series to how much angels are fascinated by human artists (because their work shows the world in a way only a mortal's fleeting time on Earth could) so I decided to make this also my fame DR.
I did actually consider making it my streamer DR for a while but now I'm pretty settled on being a singer. I was thinking of going for a very bluesy lounge singer vibe, but then again... I also really love Dark Pop.
Anyway, tell me what outside the box things you've planned for your DRs!
I think I'm honestly gonna cry the day you permashift. You've been the majority of my feed for so long.
I'm just on my way home from uni because we have just been released for the summer break at last, and I wanna thank y'all so much for supporting me throughout the creation of this blog. It will always be here hahaha this is a simple form of gratitude and sweet message to my moots especially. This was the last semester of my second year in my fashion degree, which means that I will most likely return for my final year... scary, but I know that I will make it through, and from the minute I found out about shifting, I know that everything will be okay <3 Now I can enjoy my time off for a while, but I'll get really busy! As I'll be working hard towards my final major project. This means that I may be on a shifting break to focus on graduating, moving out, perhaps learning to drive? and securing a summer internship (maybe), good paying job, of course, before I start thinking about seriously thinking about permashifting out of this reality permanently. I simply want the version of myself that I'll eventually leave here to make the best out of her life even if I won't be "here" if you get what I mean, she will post my pre-drafted farewell blog to the community when I have made it but for now I wanna cherish my moments here and become the best version of myself towards my final days here! I hope y'all also understand. have a good day/night wherever you are, I love you all, and as always
happy shifting ~
Found this on Facebook. The shifting coded posts are everywhere.
Okay, because @moonwillow473737 (sorry, your account isn't showing up to tag) asked, and nobody ever asks me anything, I'm writing this step by step guide on one of the most famous (and misused) self-hypnosis techniques out there: The Betty Erickson Method, also known as the 54321 Method. It was invented by the wife of American psychologist and psychiatrist Milton Erickson and is widely renowned as one of the best, and easiest self hypnosis techniques out there.
Once we get into the steps, you might notice the technique sounds familiar to you, as many psychologists recommend a variation of it as a grounding technique, and some shifters have attempted to include it in their methods. HOWEVER, I will point out that most people are doing it wrong, so if you think you already know how it works, I invite you to read on anyway and check your technique.
The basic technique is pretty straightforward:
It's recommended that you have a plan for what you're going to do once you're hypnotised. Come up with your affirmations/suggestions ahead of time and repeat them to yourself a few times so you know you'll remember them when you're a dopey hypnotised mess.
Get into a comfortable position somewhere you can relax without being interrupted.
Keeping your head and body still, look around your room for 5 things you can see.
Repeat with 5 things you can hear.
Repeat with 5 things you can feel.
Then repeat steps 3-5 with 4 things you can see, hear and feel. Then 3, 2, and finally 1.
These are the most common ways I've seen people get this technique wrong before:
Bringing in extra senses
Taste and Smell are very difficult senses to work with, and trying to find MULTIPLE things you can taste at any one time is insane. They're great for enhancing a visualisation session, but they're not helpful here.
Not using repetition
The most common mistake I see is people going "5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can feel" and so on, rather than the above method. Focusing on each sense multiple times is important, for multiple reasons:
It makes the technique last longer, giving your mind time to settle into the rhythm.
It slowly narrows in your focus. You start out being aware of 5 things for each sense, then 4, then 3 and so on, until you've phased them all out and are focused inwards.
Repetitive tasks lull your brain into a sleepy state, which is what we want when we're working with hypnotic suggestions.
The more specific you can make the things you're noticing, the better. So here are some examples to help you.
Sight
Shadows on the wall
Beams of light coming through the window
The movement of a fan blade
Leaves moving in the breeze
Hearing
Your breath leaving your lungs
The Inner Sound - often manifests as a high pitched ringing that only appears when you relax or try to meditate. (Note: This is NOT tinnitus. Tinnitus is present at all times, often very difficult to ignore, and does not go away as soon as you stop paying attention to it.)
Your bedroom fan, if you have one
The breeze
Cars going past on the street
Birds singing
Touch
The weight of your blanket
The texture of your mattress
The sensation of your chest moving as you breathe
Air moving around your room
The feeling of your clothes on your skin
The weight of your glasses on your face (if you're wearing any)
I had a few more things I was going to say but, honestly, this is plenty. If it doesn't work the first time, try again. If you think you can't do it because you have ADHD - you're wrong, because I have clinically diagnosed, combination type ADHD and I can do it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, me and my boyfriend are going to the zoo tomorrow and it took me 90 damn minutes to write this when it was supposed to be quick and now it's nearly midnight. Good luck and good night.
Me, every time.
not being able to choose a dr to shift to is messing with my head 😭
do I shift to my spiderverse dr?? my batfam dr?? my mha dr?? should I make new ones since those interactive fictions I love so much won’t leave my brain??
I really need to choose. like yesterday, I lay down, was like “I’m in my spiderverse dr” and then my thoughts start wandering and I confuse myself 💀
“so how did you two meet” funny story, i traveled universes
I'm about to tell you something wild about Tumblr that will blow your mind:
...
....
...
It's YOUR blog.
You can do whatever you want.
my proffesors wondering why i'm using my studio time to test the limits of green screen and why i'm trying to realistically edit myself into fake scenes from my desired reality 😔
ON A SERIOUS NOTE, is it socially acceptable on the tumblr side of life to post edits of your DRs or manips / scenes for motivation??
my goodness I met the coolest girl in college who is teaching me all about using your face to create AI renderings of your DRself and it is so so cool SHOULD I POST THEM DO PEOPLE DO THAT??
i've spent so long learning about ai in art classes and incorporating it into my life (logically and not letting ai do all of the work ‼️) and the results I have are SO COOL,, it has seriously pulled me out of my shifting slump bc seeing the process between green screen me and the edited end result IS CRAZY
I mostly just make these manips for personal motivation but idk it might be cool to recreate scenes or polaroids or moments from my desired realities ??
let me know what you guys think!! <3
Oh god. I'm such a spreadsheet maker as it is... I'm gonna have so many fucking documents aren't I? 😭
the fact that i’m not even geeking over my drs anymore… after shifting so much……..like i’m not just fantasising. i’m literally project managing transcendence. drafting timetables for greatness. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK.
do you even realise what it means to not crave the life but to have it??? to not beg reality to love you back but just reroute the algorithm like. lol. i win. because i do. i’m not in the dreaming stage anymore. i’m in the logistics office. with a clipboard.
this isn’t “what if i lived in paris.” this is “ok so when i am in paris, i’m gonna do x and y AND z.” like. not fantasy. REAL
no more devotionals to timelines i can’t reach. i can live like that. i will !!!!!!!!!! i already am. i am experiencing the lifestyle. i am in the lifestyle.
THANK YAAAAA SHIFTING
me: alright let’s shift tonight
also me:
