So from what I can recall I've minishifted once (could be more, I have an amnesia disorder) so while I'm more of an account looking for advice rather than giving it, I've seen a couple people seem to struggle with this so here.

What to do about background sounds while trying to shift.

They're annoying, I know. I was experiencing shifting symptoms yesterday while trying to, when my roommate was suddenly and abruptly very loud in the hallway and I tweaked out a little. (They can do what they want, it was just bad timing). There were also voices and vehicles outside despite the sounds of the oncoming storm.

Then as I heard thunder brewing, I realised, I can use these outside sounds to my advantage.

Voices in the house? That's somebody outside my DR window having a conversation (man, what are they doing so close to my room?). Kids playing in the street? Exactly that, just in a different setting. Random sounds happening in the house? - well, that depends on your DR - if you live with somebody, you can think to yourself wow, whatever they're up to is making a lot of noise. I wonder if they'll come to my room and say hi.

Use these sounds to your advantage.

- Talk It Out -

its not secret that putting out feelings into words and speaking about our fears and concerns help to rationalize what we are feeling or thinking.

Though a lot of us don’t have friends or people to talk to (and I mean actually speaking, not texting or writing) about shifting and our experiences or perspective.

Which is why a lot of people on shifttok post videos. It’s like an outlet to talk about what we are thinking, feeling, experiencing, processing, etc. plus it also can be motivating to others.

Think about talk therapy. We talk about our issues, and the therapist helps up to rationalize them. However, my point is that while it may help, you don’t always need another persons input. Sure it is helpful or validating, but you can do the processing yourself. 

My suggestion/tip:

Take a stuffed animal, a painting or even set your phone up to look at yourself. The goal is talking to something with a face. 

By having this item with a face, you can feel a sense of connection that allows you to open up. (Regardless of who or what face it is).

It may feel goofy, but start talking to it (out loud). Share your experiences, any fears, concerns, motivations, what you’re excited for, what you’re hesitant about.

Just ramble, it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone. Just talk about what you feel in the moment (about shifting).

You’ll likely hit a point where you’re speaking and realize something. For example, you may be talking about what you’re nervous for and suddenly you say that you’re scared of actually waking up in your DR.

You may not even have consciously realized you felt that way, but by speaking: you draw it out. (Again think about therapists.) 

Then you can take the next step and ask why? Why do you feel this way? How does it make you feel? Where does it come from? Etc. Act like your own therapist. 

So! I thought about the way I/someone working with crystals sets intentions and how I thought maybe I could cross-apply.

So I said out loud, “I ask that only the highest beings of love and light protect me as I shift. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” I had my spirit guides in mind as well so maybe you could ask them directly. I just thought about what I usually see for crystals.

I mean lol, I don’t think I’m making some unintentional deal with angels by asking for soemthing, (hopefully not) and it really helped to speak out loud and ask for help like that and it really solidified the choice to shift. When I put the phone down I’ll be doing that.

So! If this helps anyone great. If I out myself as someone making a big spirituality mistake, please laugh at it with me, dumbassery is so funny plz

I answered this and posted but mobile said LOL NOPE .... I hate it here

Hello anon!

So firstly, it’s 100% okay to not want to be overly attached to your DR and that is totally normal!! So you’re not doing anything wrong or “holding yourself back” For me it is healthy to shift as a “hobby” and not to completely leave this CR and live in your DR all the time. (That’s like r*spawning and I don’t support that.)

As a tip, put into your script that you won’t get overly attached and that you have a healthy balance between your DR and CR! Also listen to subliminals that include things like “I won’t get obsessed with my DR” “I will return to my CR happy and re-energized” things like that! It’ll help “re-wire” your brain so that you can shift no problem!!
