Stop harming yourself in the name of persistence.
One thing I've noticed about shiftblr after coming back here almost a year later is that people are still afraid to admit what's going on in front of their eyes. In the name of persistence and deciding, everyone keeps putting so much pressure on themselves for the situation to get better, to feel better, to shift. And while that works (for some) it is the harder road to satisfaction.
Many shifters here have tried everything, have lost hope, keep asking for advice on asks (no judgement!), keep persisting but still say that they have/see no movement. Of course there will be none. You're begging yourself to shift. I can relate here honestly, I was you and sometimes I still am you. But ignoring emotions and the "3D" (I hate calling it that) will only make you feel worse.
While affirmations and persistence works for many, we are all different. Moreover, they are methods, not the thing that "get's" you your manifestation or your next shift. I always get horribly sad still seeing people struggling and getting the same advice of keep persisting. I used to say the same thing back in the day but not anymore. What's wrong with saying that you didn't shift if you wake up in your "CR"? What's it going to do? Make you not shift? If shifting is your entire being, then why is that sentence the exception?
Expand your awareness people. Acknowledging what's in front of your eyes will not put your behind. It's just acknowledging. You're saying what you see in the now. Whether it's saying that you didn't get your manifestation or that you didn't shift. They are just words. Feelings you feel hence you express them. They will not change the knowing in you that eventually you will shift. Because, in the grand scheme of things, you did shift, you did get your manifestation.
Stop being afraid of being afraid of your feelings, of your words. I've only recently started doing this as well. Before I too used to say that I've shifted when my reality showed me the opposite. Affirmed, persisted. Now, I'm not saying that it won't work, it works for a lot of people. But I was always burnt out. Tired. Angry. Frustrated with myself for not being able to persist. Have you ever thought that these feelings are not the "old story" (Hate saying that too) showing up but just your body telling you that, Wait, hold on, I need a moment. The body knows more things than the mind. It communicates in every word and every feeling. Why do you think you keep going on even after so many "failures"? Listen fellow shifter. Your want is already your desire blooming in you.
The feelings you ignore in the name of your persistence are your compass. The "negative emotions" are the path you'll walk on. It's insane to me that everybody claims that you already are the thing but you have to keep believing and persisting to get it? You already are the thing so whatever you say, whatever you do will lead you to it. The "3D" is not out to get you. It's waiting on you to start moving. Thoughts are movement. Feelings are movement. Expressing them is the fastest movement of all. No emotion, no matter how negative is holding you back. It's always pushing you forward. So express it. Express your disappointment. You anger. Your frustration. Your hope. Your tiredness. These are not high blocks that are keeping your manifestations from you. They are building blocks. They are the path you're walking on. "The stairs you climb."
Say what you feel when you feel it. Say what you want when you want to. Positive or negative. Do it in your own way. Say that you didn't shift. Say that you wish to shift. Say that you hope you will. Say it. You will feel a lot better admitting what you feel in the moment instead of slapping affirmations that you don't believe on it. It's a huge misconception that saying the negative will manifest the negative. People need to take a breather. Words do not mean anything unless you give them meaning. You shift every moment. Saying that you didn't shift when you wake up in your CR will do nothing but just make you feel lighter over the release of energy that you once held within you. Move with the feelings, not against them.
Yes, it is true that you're already in your DR. But you're also here. Why make it harder for yourself focusing on one thing and ignoring the other? It is one of the reasons why everyone is so burnt out. Express your feelings. Talk them out. It doesn't matter if you shift every moment. That sentence doesn't mean anything if you feel like it's not true. So express your displeasure. Stop holding back. Seriously. Just start talking about whatever comes up. It will clear your head, make you feel lighter and overall help your shifting journey. You'll shift. You know this already. That's why you keep trying. And if you're disappointed along the way? So what? Say it. The ending you already know.
Nothing stops a shift. Not even saying that it isn't here. If you feel like it isn't, then say it. You already feel that way hence the words. Holding it back will just anger you further. I speak from experience here. Do not let the world tell you what you can and cannot do. The compass is you. The path is you. The movement is you. The shift is you.
Pause and breathe and go crazy with your words and feelings. Don't hold back anymore. If you feel like it doesn't work then say it. Fuck any laws, any assumption or any truth. Start from zero. All of it doesn't mean anything anyway if you don't feel like it does. You'll be just fine little shifter. The shift is yours.
