So I found this story on reddit yesterday and the shifter here has such a unique method that I just had to share.

coming off a venture into the void state, i've realized (well, no not really -- ive always known this) that results ONLY ever come when you stop chasing it. In fact, i think i already made a post like this once, but i'm gonna reiterate it here. Whether it be shifting, manifesting, or whatever other metaphysical event, you never get it by attempting to force it to come.

Think about it: Why would you, a master shifter, GOD, also known as the ONLY one that can give you results, have to beg and chase powerless outside forces to make you do something? Shifting is half of an action... It's something you do but it takes so little effort that you can't even classify it as an action, if that makes sense. On top of that, you're also shifting every second anyway. Every blink. Every scroll. Every fart. You've shifted! I mean, it really is that f*cking simple. There's no reason to be crying and crashing out over something that's 100% under your control.

I think that this reality's version of humanity is very... unique? I don't know who, thousands of years ago, created the idea that we must work for what we want, but they were wrong. Very. Very. Wrong. Shifting is not a delivery service. You are not a package that is traveling to a destination. You're already at the front door. You've already been dropped off by the amazon employee (your awareness), and now you've received your DR. It is not a journey because you never left or went anywhere! If you're struggling to understand that concept, don't stress it. I can only tell you that it's the truth. When I started affirming that I already shifted and was already in my DR, i shifted two days later... so idk that should tell ya something about the concept of already being there.

the post is dedicated to my goddess who deleted tumblr. i miss you, master of lucid dreams

WAKE UP

— start as soon as you realize that you are dreaming. you don’t have to waste time trying to stabilize your dream — this is an optional action, but say in your dream that you are sleeping in your desired reality right now. “i’m in my desired reality. i’m having a lucid dream right now in my desired reality.” — decide that you will wake up in your desired reality. “focus on your dr and affirm that you are waking up in your dr” — well, just wake up. wake up confident that you will open your eyes in your desired reality — woke up in the current reality? fall asleep with the knowledge that you are in your desired reality and repeat the previous actions — repeat this over and over again. don't you dare give up after two or three attempts

wtf is shifting awareness???? and how do i do it????‧₊˚♪𝄞࿐₊˚⊹

"sodapop help!! i understand that shifting is by definition when you shift your awareness to another reality, but i don't understand what that means?? how do you shift awareness??"

i'm about to rock your world (aka this post did semi-okay on tiktok and i just realized i haven't already posted it here).

when you shift your awareness, you're detaching from one ego (in this case your cr) and attaching to another (your dr!!! yayyy yayyyy yayyyyy that's where we wanna be!!). this whole process sounds harder than it is, which is why shifting can feel so daunting. so i'm going to make you shift your awareness right now, and then you can see how easy it is. please don't be afraid i can hold your hand if you want

close your eyes (after you read this obviously -_-) and focus your attention solely on your hands. what they're touching, if they have any jewelry on them, if they're cold/warm, if they hurt at all, etc. just focus only on your hands.

now, turn your attention only to your legs. pay attention to nothing but your legs. can you feel the clothes touching your legs? the chair you're sitting on? are they cold? do they hurt? what position are they in right now?

see how you stopped being aware of how your hands felt? and how when you were only paying attention to your hands, you weren't aware of the rest of your body? that's exactly what you're doing, but you're shifting your mindset to your dr self's mindset instead of your cr self's in order to trigger the shift.

"i couldn't do it, though. i was still aware of the rest of my body when i tried. i must be hopeless." ok. well guess what. now that i'm saying something, you're aware of your breathing. and now you're also aware of your blinking. and eventually, you're going to get distracted, and you're going to stop breathing and blinking manually. you'll be unaware again. (this is probably so annoying though so i'm sorry.. it was for the sake of the point)

this is why my method is simply:

lay down and get comfortable. no starfish position, this isn't an episode of spongebob

daydream for a bit. this causes me to naturally stop paying attention to my surroundings (this is the detachment from one ego)

think as my dr self. my plans, my friends, my boyfriend (heh... yea), my circumstances. kind of like how you lay down in bed and suddenly remember the most embarrassing moments of your life, but in a way that doesn't suck (this is the mindset shift that triggers the physical shift. attachment to another ego)

hold the understanding that i won't feel or notice the shift (because i'm already assuming the role of my dr self, so nothing is going to feel different), and therefore assume that i'm already there

*taps mic and clears throat* the president of yappermania has risen I fear.

I figured I'd talk my ish about shifting and how simple it is because what the helly??? 😩 it's not as hard as people may make it seem.

Over the years, especially on shifttok in my opinion i feel like people make it seem like the so called 'methods' are the keys to make you shift when the key isn't nessecarily that. It's can be a tool but its not a key, believe it or not the the key is actually you!!

Those guided meditations, shifting methods ARE TOOLS.

You don't have to count to 100, lay in a starfish position and review your whole script every second of the day & memorise every intricate detail to shift. In fact you don't really need to do anything if you don't want to...

I shifted to my 2nd modern aot dr a week or two ago - with no script made just a few pics in a pinterest board & shifted to my other aot dr a month ago (although both times it was for like a millesecond) it purposely happened so a win is a win!!

HOW I DID IT. . . .

Once I realised that shifting is so incredibly easy, i let go of all those methods I forced myself to do partly because I couldn't be bothered..im lazy in hopes of waking up in my dr, I now know and don't hope.

i usually shift at night so i get into bed, think about my dr and accept that im actually there. it's done. I know im going to wake up in said place (in my case it was nyc)

sometimes my thoughts get the best of me, saying "If your there why are you-" or "are you sure you can do it-" i just laugh it off because i know it isn't true. my subconscious knows im a master shifter, i dont have to keep repeating myself because a person who's mastered something doesn't question. They just know...so why am i questioning myself? there's no need to stress.

ask yourself questions like - "Why am i so good at this?" "How do i shift on every try? thats crazy. and i hardly do anything too. minimal effort." Instert Kamala Harris' laugh fr. feel free to giggle because it's too easy. You keep winning over and over again!

Wake up in your dr.

That's quite literally it. Now go serve face in your dr babes!

i see so many people still talking about shifting like it’s this impossible thing, like you have to beg the universe for it or spend months trying every method out there. so here’s the truth, from someone who’s actually been shifting consistently for a while:

you can shift whenever you want.

and no, that’s not just motivational bs, that’s literally how it works when you understand what shifting actually is.

shifting isn’t something you try to do. it’s something you allow. the version of you that already lives in your desired reality? they already exist. your job isn’t to create them , it’s to align with them.

you don’t need to feel tingles or hear signs or vibrate at some perfect level. you don’t need the perfect sleep schedule or the perfect script. what you need is clarity.

clarity that says: “i know what i want. i know it already exists. and i trust myself enough to go there.”

when i shift, i don’t force it. i don’t chase it. i become it.

it’s just a decision:

a breath.

a moment.

a quiet “i’m already there.”

and then i fall into it.

not because i’m trying so hard, but because i finally stopped trying.

once you drop the resistance, once you stop doubting, you realize how easy it is. how natural. how familiar.

there’s no big secret. no magic formula.

just presence. trust. surrender.

and once you taste it? once you know you can do it?

it is true that the moment you decide to shift, you do. this is because your awareness is not attached to anything, it will simply do what you want it to do because it is you. you’re not your thoughts, your doubts, or even your feelings. you are the observer of those things.

so if that’s the case, why are you still having difficulty experiencing the shift in the 3d?

well, dear reader, the reason for that is simple. your awareness may move instantly, but it’s still funneled through your mind. your mind is still the thing that has to register, “oh yeah, we’re in a different reality now.” therefore, if your mind is going through a bunch of hoopla, it’s more likely for it to just miss the shift even though it already happened.

think of it like switching radio channels. the channel changes instantly. awareness = your hand turning the dial up or down. if you’re wearing headphones blasting your own music, you won’t hear the new channel. nothing blocked the switch. you saw yourself make the decision to turn the dial and do it. but you didn’t consciously hear the music change and you won’t until you take the headphones off.

well, how do i take the headphones off then?

by dropping the idea that the 3d is the baseline in which you measure reality from. the only reason people don’t notice their shift is cause they’re still looking to the 3d to prove to them that their awareness shifted. you must trust yourself, trust your awareness and stop giving the 3d that authority. there’s nothing to “check” against!

whatever you say goes, goes. your awareness follows because that is the law. ironically, it is when you fully adopt that attitude that you will notice instantaneous shifts. because you’re not waiting for confirmation from something outside your awareness. you’re letting awareness define the moment by itself.

the next time you go to set intention you want to have your mind and awareness in alignment. fully agree (and feel) that your 3d isn’t your reference point anymore. release expectation of what it should feel like or how long it should take. it takes no time because awareness shifts instantly and you are awareness.

then when you set your intention you can do a few things: (choose which suits you best OR do your own thing)

1. envision your dr and imagine each sense. narrate it in your head like you’re looking around right then and there.

2. embody your dr self’s mind. what would you be thinking in your dr? who are you? what are you doing?

3. just surrender. breathe. set your intention with a simple and clear phrase. don’t repeat yourself or try to convince yourself. just accept it and be.

finally, if you catch yourself slipping back into checking, simply redirect by repeating one of these steps. not in a desperate “oh it’s not working, i failed, let me start over way.” it’s just to ease your mind. and if you’re really chill, you can just ignore the thought. it means nothing!

happy shifting,

YOUR ASS DOESN'T NEED TO HAVE THIS PROOF, YOU DONT NEED TO WORK HARD TO LEAVE, YOU DONT NEED TO WORK IN ORDER TO SHIFT REALITIES, YOU JUST DO IT. LET. GO.

now, i know let go is a term used alot, and people dont really explain it in a way that helps me understand it....

BUT HERE IS HOW I SEE THAT.

YOU JUST, VIEW YOUR DR. FEEL THE EMOTIONS, how do you feel about your room??? IS IT SAFE, IS IT COMFORTING?? WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE?? blankets?? plushies?? did you get a plush from a s/o?? how does that feel like??? how do you feel about that??? Plans this morning?? You joyful about those plans or are you dreading it??? THEN ONCE YOU ARE SOLID ON VISUALS / EMOTIONS, LET THIS STUPID REALITY GO!! JUST, FALL INTO YOUR DR!!

JUST FOCUS, KNOW THAT IT IS REAL, AS IT iS THE LIFE YOU ARE NOW LIVING.

GODDDDDDDDDD, JUST DO IT, LET GO, GET COMFY, AND LET GO!!!

IT ISN'T AN OPTION TO STAY HERE, TO WAKE UP HERE, YOU ALREADY CHOSE TO LEAVE THIS REALITY, YOU ALREADY CHOSE TO LEAVE. YOU HAVE NO USE IN THIS REALITY ANYMORE SOLIDER!!!!!

YOU ARE NOW OFF DUTY!!!

so let’s do it.

Baby…we’re no longer in a cycle, that ends today. No more drowning in Pinterest & Notion because you feel like it’s the closest to get to your dr—and definitely no more reading ten different shifting posts in hopes of something to change magically while not thinking in your favour. Girl, bye!

So, here’s what we’re gonna do. Come along, or not!

Since I put my tree up today, let’s take it in steps like we’re building one together;

1. The foundation.

If you don’t work on the foundation first, the tree won’t be solid ….. so, here’s what works:

Be honest with yourself. How do you feel about manifesting/shifting? Whats your relationship with it? Do you, for example:

a) lash out because you feel like no one’s listening, break up for a short or long period & then get back together again. ++ repeat.

b) cling to it even if it’s a detriment to yourself. You can’t even breathe without opening a Pinterest board to feel level-headed or getting your daily scroll in.

c) unsure. You don’t know where you lie with it. That’s okay too.

Regardless of all those, relax. You’re fine now. Because you can finally build the healthy, steady foundation you need by knocking the rotting one down.

I have multiple exercises that I enjoy when it comes to this but I’ll share two for today. One being writing all of my raw and uncut feelings on a piece of paper with a pen, scrunching it up and burning it ! Don’t hold back. You think you “can’t shift?” Write it down. Blockages?

The alternative is doing it digitally too by writing in your notes or making a shifting diary (highly recommended). Sometimes when I’m lazy to grab my notebook I write what I feel and I just…don’t open it again. It’s like it doesn’t exist. That’s all, really.

That’s the old story done now, so you can’t go back. Dead it it ☺️!

2. Assembling.

Now that we have that new, refreshing life in front of you, things changed. Now it’s time to find what you like doing. Think back to your previous shifts. When you did the raven method, did you hate staying still or counting to 100?

Experimentation is crucial; try lucid dreaming, affirmation tapes, listening to or making subliminals, entering the void, making your own methods with elements of shifting that you enjoy….i mean the possibilities just keep coming. They're endless. And so are you.

Hey, also , important point. DON'T FOLLOW what xyz on tumblr said if you don't want to. I like to think about it like this; if someone comes online telling me that I must wear green everytime I go out but I think it’s an ugly colour no shade to the green lovers I’m not gonna wear it 🤷🏾‍♀️

Same goes for methods. If someone tells me to count to 1,000 , stay still and affirm every 10 numbers I’m not doing it I don’t want to. You can even roll over if u want to and still shift even though some people on shifftok do not agree *sips tea and flips page over* next...

3. Putting up decorations.

We put the parts together, now it's time to start decorating!! the fun part. The best thing about this is that you get to pick and colour of tinsel, ornaments and lights that you want, not what sarah on shiftblr or tiktok said. Your choosing. sorry to the sarahs out there LMAODVOFRJR

Here, since we know that we're capable of shifting of course, we can assort our way of motivation or "preparing" for shifting to our liking.

Want to make a pinterest board and add to it every .5 seconds? go for it now—because you don't depend on it to make you shift.

read or watch things about your s/o & loved ones, swoon over your face claim on instagram. Yes girl, that's you.

4. The star at the top.

Now that everythings sparkling, the lights are flashing around the tree and the ornaments are set just right it's time to put the star up. the final bit.

you let go of the old story, the old raggedy ass tree you hated but refused to let go of. But things have changed around here because of you. Im proud of you.

Now everythings done. You've decided, assumed and stuck to it and here's your mega breakthrough. Getting everything you've ever wanted in your newfound life of abundance and successes from here ! You pushed yourself to the finish line and now you've made it (you've shifted, silly) and here we are. & dont let anyone play with you in your reality again.

YOUR ASS DOESN'T NEED TO HAVE THIS PROOF, YOU DONT NEED TO WORK HARD TO LEAVE, YOU DONT NEED TO WORK IN ORDER TO SHIFT REALITIES, YOU JUST DO IT. LET. GO.

now, i know let go is a term used alot, and people dont really explain it in a way that helps me understand it....

BUT HERE IS HOW I SEE THAT.

YOU JUST, VIEW YOUR DR. FEEL THE EMOTIONS, how do you feel about your room??? IS IT SAFE, IS IT COMFORTING?? WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE?? blankets?? plushies?? did you get a plush from a s/o?? how does that feel like??? how do you feel about that??? Plans this morning?? You joyful about those plans or are you dreading it??? THEN ONCE YOU ARE SOLID ON VISUALS / EMOTIONS, LET THIS STUPID REALITY GO!! JUST, FALL INTO YOUR DR!!

JUST FOCUS, KNOW THAT IT IS REAL, AS IT iS THE LIFE YOU ARE NOW LIVING.

GODDDDDDDDDD, JUST DO IT, LET GO, GET COMFY, AND LET GO!!!

IT ISN'T AN OPTION TO STAY HERE, TO WAKE UP HERE, YOU ALREADY CHOSE TO LEAVE THIS REALITY, YOU ALREADY CHOSE TO LEAVE. YOU HAVE NO USE IN THIS REALITY ANYMORE SOLIDER!!!!!

YOU ARE NOW OFF DUTY!!!

This is pretty harsh and definitely not sugar-coated, because it’s legitimately what I would tell MYSELF in the past. If you don’t like yelling … please skip this one lol. I’m the pseudo-target, because she had some ridiculous views of herself, her journey and reality. Written after reading some old journal entries, so this is what I’d tell that past version of me to snap myself out of it if I could—knowing what I know now that I shift frequently. Could be helpful for someone else too, but don’t take anything to heart, because these are pretty opinion-specific <3

1) Why are you accepting anything else?

Shifting isn’t some magical teleportation to another place. Manifesting isn’t gaining magical powers and being done with it. It’s a metamorphosis, like it or not. It’s an identity-level mutation, because now you’re no longer a part of the crowd who has accepted one singular reality. Or that manifestation is “too good to be true.” Hello?? That’s not you anymore!

Why are you accepting that you’re just lost and the answer is out there somewhere? That you’re this doomed person who’s been trying for years? Why are you accepting this identity?? And don’t even come at me with the excuses that you’ve “done everything but nothing works,” because right there you ARE accepting it as an identity—saying “hey yeah, I’m the person who keeps trying but nothing works and I’m lost.” Why is THAT the identity you’re giving yourself??

For lack of better words: have some dignity! Lead with arrogant pride! Be stubbborn! Inflate your ego and refuse to label whatever you’re going through as failure. This is not the time to be humble and accepting, even in definition. “I’m someone who’s struggling and can’t get anything right.” HELLO?

I know you’re someone who’s honest and logical, so let’s put aside the law of assumption for a second here and look at it “logically” because it is basic.

If you say you’re stuck—you’ll talk, think, and act like someone who’s stuck.

If you say you’re lost—you’ll start moving through life like a person who’s lost, second-guessing and looking for signs instead of making decisions. Because if you accept that you’re lost, you’re going to take the actions and think like someone who’s lost.

The way you translate reality cues your mind; your mind cues your behavior; your behavior cues your reality. Like an ouroboros. Yes, Clover, how unfortunate it is that you can’t act like you don’t know shit 24/7, and then MAGICALLY KNOW SHIT. YOU’RE NOT EVEN MANIFESTING TO MAGICALLY KNOW SHIT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING.

The moment you decide you’re not stuck, not lost, not trying—you will start to take actions accordingly. This means that, for example, you’ll decide what needs to be done next instead of searching for the key outside of you. You’ll perceive the lack, mixed signals or signs as part of your intention being fulfilled. Instead of treating it as evidence that you're stuck or don't know what you're doing.

But then you sit there and think “Gee, I already did everything. And everything I do won’t give me results, so I need a key, an answer, a light.” WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? THAT’S THE IDENTITY YOU’RE GOING TO ACCEPT?? You’re going to excuse this as “Oh, but this isn’t helpful because I don’t know what to do anyway, so I guess I’m stuck.”

I need you. To wake up. Like actually wake up.

2) You’ve been given the key a hundred damn times already. A hundred.

Sometimes it’s called the law of assumption, sometimes it’s called letting go and trusting it’s already yours, sometimes it’s a method that tells you to just know it’s already working, sometimes it’s “act as if,” sometimes it’s “live in the end,” sometimes it’s “persist,” sometimes it’s try to achieve this altered state through trial and error. But it’s all the same truth dressed in different costumes: what you want is already yours in some form, and you align by knowing that. YOU. No one else can do it for you.

You sitting there wearing the identity of someone who’s lost, hopeless, searching, waiting for a savior will not cut it. It never did. It’s not about effort—because effort is hit or miss, and sometimes it happens in the moments you least expect it, without lifting a finger.

But do you know why that happens without lifting a finger?? It’s because for a split second, you dropped the damn story and you weren’t TRYING, you were being—even if you were being exhausted and over it. At least you weren’t begging and rehearsing that you’re the “one who can’t shift.” You just existed in a state where the prediction of failure didn’t interfere anymore. Why else do you think you can go to sleep randomly, not expecting anything, and shift?? Manifest without trying??

There is no time, no space, no justification for dropping the assumption, intention, identity, observation—whatever name you give it—just because it didn’t yield instant results. None. Zero. Why? Because, again, this shit is a metamorphosis. You are no longer the person constrained to one reality, one outcome, one timeline. YOU UNCOVERED THE TRUTH.

Every time that you slip back into the old story, you’re rehearsing your defeat. I do not mean you have to ignore your reality, or your circumstances. That’s not necessary. What’s necessary is waking up and altering how you perceive what’s going on around you. Because the moment you intend to have something:

3) You are never not in the process of getting what you want. Never. Ever ever ever ever.

You may hate the term “process,” let this be my filthy propaganda to indoctrinate you. Please let shifting be a process. Let manifestation be a process. Because the answer to everything is to treat it like it’s part of the process. And I do mean everything.

“The shifting method didn’t work.” Part of the process.

“I’m manifesting this person but they won’t text me back.” Part of the process.

“I fell asleep before finishing the method.” Part of the process.

“I feel nothing’s happening.” Still the process.

“I reacted. I cried. I spiraled.” All of it, part of the process.

Every high, every relapse, every agonizing day that feels like nothing’s changing and you don’t know what you’re doing—part of the process. Why? Because:

The second you decide you’re in the reality where it works and start acting accordingly. You claim every single thing that happens as part of the process confirming that your intention is being fulfilled, so that’s now the world you live in.

Awareness begins filtering the world through that lens. Literally. Because you’ve signaled to your awareness that “hey we’re in the reality where we get what we intend, so everything we see from now on is a part of that,” now the yellow brick road path opens up and reality has no choice BUT to lead you where you want.

The trick is to stop treating what’s happening as a mistake. The moment you drop that label, your awareness stops scanning for failure, starts validating progress and observing reality accordingly.

Intention is action— not metaphorically, but functionally. The instant you set an intention, awareness shifts its focal point and reorganizes perception, behavior, and probability around the new reference. And action inevitability breeds what? AN OUTCOME. How the flying fuck are you gonna intend to shift and not shift? What are you worried about?? Never learning the “how” ?? News flash: the how is born from the intention, never the other way around.

When you set an intention, you create a reference point that awareness now has to bridge itself toward. That bridge (the sequence of events, ideas, coincidences, impulses, whatever) is the “how.”

But how are you going to cross that bridge if you still identify with being doomed and stuck?? You’re allowed to have any self concept you want. A negative one won’t stop you from shifting, least of all manifesting— BUT LEAST acknowledge you’re in the process of shifting.

And don’t acknowledge anything else!! BECAUSE NOW THE BRIDGE TOWARDS THAT IS BEING BUILT INSTEAD!!

“I feel stuck and miserable, but at least It’s already unfolding” >> “I feel stuck and miserable, plus I don’t know what to do.”

The former is gonna lead you towards the “how”.

“But a process implies that I don’t have it yet,” “a process implies it’s not instant.”

Dude, even instant things are a process. Blinking is “instant,” and yet if you take into account the muscles contracting, the nerves, the brain signaling—it’s still a process. The second you intended to have it, instantly it became yours in your awareness, in your reality. But even if it were to show up 1 second or 1 week later— it would be a process either way.

Let yourself breathe and accept that you’re in the process of shifting/manifesting. The alternative is constantly flipping between “shifted” and “not shifted,” “manifested” and “didn’t manifest.” As if it’s that black and white. It’s not. It never is. What feels better? Sitting there telling yourself you don’t have your manifestation yet, that you don’t know what you’re doing wrong—or saying that you do have it, you’re just in the process of it unfolding?

Why are you accepting anything else?? Why would you, now knowing that it’s unfolding, approach advice hoping it’ll be the key that’ll make you shift— and then abandon it 2 seconds later when the words you read didn’t magically spawn you into your DR? Do you have any idea how insane you look? When you know that reality is literally whatever you make it to be? Do you? (y’all, I didn’t).

The way you observe reality— be it through the law of assumption, law of attraction, non-duality, idk—it matters. It unfortunately matters. My god I wish it didn’t, but it matters.

So at least, AT LEAST acknowledge that you’re in the process of it unfolding. Just like wavering, contradicting yourself, doubting, and crying won’t stop you from shifting, calling this thing a process won’t delay it.

If anything, it makes it happen faster. Because now you’re defining every moment (the wins, the fails, the lows, the breakthroughs) as part of the process of getting what you want. That automatically tells your awareness it’s observing a reality where it’s inevitably yours. So it’s already guaranteed.

Your ONLY job is to not accept anything else. ... OH! There you go again, saying you “don’t understand, don’t know what to do, that you’re lost” when YOU KNOW FULL WELL THAT —METAPHYSICS ASIDE— IF YOU ACT LIKE A PERSON WHO’S LOST, YOU’RE GOING TO TAKE ACTIONS OF A PERSON WHO’S LOST MOTHER FUCJCJDHSHS

Is this a safe space for me to say I hate persistence? Because I do. I hate it. I hate it I hate it I hate it so much that every time I hear “just persist!!” I want to scream.

You repeat “I already have it” and then you immediately start scanning for evidence visually, physically, emotionally. Your awareness wants proof. And when it doesn’t see proof, you start the mental loop again, reminding yourself that proof is the intention, that you have to persist, that you have to believe, etc. It becomes exhausting because it’s all happening in the head. Couple that with the thousand other things you already have going on in there, and yeah, it sucks lol.

Don’t get me wrong, obviously persistence is vital— but thete’s more than one way to go about it. It’s tedious because mental persistence exists only in the abstract (your thoughts), while awareness naturally anchors itself to the tangible (what you can see, touch, hear, etc). And it thrives on continuity.

We all know persistence isn’t about forcing belief, but more so reminding yourself of what’s already yours, right?

Well I took that literally a few days ago, and decided to test out a method. Usually when I want to remember something, I write it down on my hand. (Because I have the brain of a squirrel. If the task isn’t right in front of my face, I’ll forget it).

So I’ve been persisting by turning my desire(s) into physical reminders. I literally write what I want (already have..) on my hand to make sure it’s “in-my-face” every time I move. That way it becomes part of the environment, part of the now. And when I can’t write it on my hand, I’ll scribble it on a piece of paper or assign it to an object nearby—whatever’s closest.

There was something I wanted resolved as quickly as possible, so I wrote down on my hand “XYZ isn’t a problem anymore” and glanced at it consciously every few minutes until the action became unconscious. Seriously, I would just glance at it for less than a second, acknowledge it was there, nod and go about my day. I wasn’t hung up on what was written, and I genuinely did use this as a reminder. Not a magic thing that was going to grant me my desire. The point of this is to treat it as a reminder, or like test answers you scribbled on your palm before an exam.

Then, as of yesterday, it worked! The thing I wanted actually came true. Though I’m not surprised, since I essentially tricked my awareness into literally observing the desired outcome 24/7. Until it stopped feeling like something I wanted, and just felt like something that was.

Why this works:

First of all, it feels like you’re DOING something, because every time you glance at your physical cue, it’s like pressing a button. This is because the action instantly re-orients your awareness, and acts like an anchor to your chosen outcome.

Second, your awareness doesn’t care about what’s “true,” it cares about what’s present. Whatever’s in front of your eyes, your awareness treats as real. This is why songs and movies can make you cry, dreams trigger adrenaline, and imagination sparks strong emotions such as anger.

That means when you’re looping affirmations in your head, you’re basically trying to talk awareness into something,, but language isn’t its natural format. Perception is. Awareness speaks in what you sense as being there.

When you loop affirmations, awareness doesn’t care how you feel about them, it cares how you perceive them. You can say “I’m rich” all you want, but if your awareness still perceives that as something distant or hypothetical, it’ll keep generating the version of reality where it’s distant or hypothetical. But if you say “I’m rich” from the stance that it’s already part of what’s real, part of what’s happening, in the process of unfolding —then that’s what awareness picks up as continuity.

So instead of affirming “I have the ability to shift” in your mind, you could write it down/turn it into a visual anchor. Every time you look, awareness reaffirms: “This exists right now, this is what’s happening.”

That’s because awareness thrives on continuity. It craves consistency the way gravity craves mass, and like toddlers crave cheetos. Whatever falls into your perception, it treats as a constant,, like a fixed variable it has to keep generating to preserve the continuity flow of your reality. In other words, awareness keeps rendering what it’s already observing (Or, for the multiverse crowd, it keeps you anchored to the version of reality where those constants make sense.)

That’s why when you adopt a cat, it doesn’t just appear once and vanish. Awareness registers: “oh hey this cat exists here now and we have to take care of it” —and from that moment on, it keeps placing you in realities where the cat continues to exist.

The same thing happens when you write your end goal on your hand. Awareness registers it as a new variable, then immediately files it under “constant,” something that belongs to the fabric of your reality. From that point on, it keeps generating versions of reality where that cue remains true, and by extension, so does the outcome it symbolizes.

Kinda like you’re guiding awareness and telling it exactly which reality it’s in. It’s like hanging a family photo on your wall. Your awareness doesn’t just register “a photo exists,” it registers “these people exist,” “this relationship exists,” “this home exists.” The image implies the story behind it, so the awareness keeps seeking a world where that story stays consistent.

It’s also like having the answer key sitting next to your exam. Normally, persistence is like trying to remember the answer and wracking your brain to recall what you already studied. But visual persistence is like glancing at the paper and going “Ohh right, it’s B.”

Your awareness only ever confirms what you feed it. If you show it lack in perception, it confirms lack. If you show it the desire being present—literally, visually, physically—it syncs to that.

So when you create a visual anchor like a phrase on your hand, a note on your wall, an object tied to your intention,, you’ve already placed yourself in the version of reality where that thing exists. Awareness doesn’t question whether it’s symbolic or literal, because it just registers “this is here.”

And once something is here, awareness has no choice but to seek the matching conditions that make sense of it.

In sum

You keep seeing the cue → awareness absorbs it, recognizes it as part of this reality → so the next rendered moment/reality you’re in, has to include it too. That’s how persistence works!! Through sustained presence.
