okay, let’s get started! first: delete this app. it might be difficult, you might want to download it again, but don’t do it. please go to your dr!!! but if you end up downloading that app again, don’t feel guilty, it’s part of the process.

so here are some ideas i came up with to distract you:

create a playlist that reminds you of your dr or s/o.

daydreaming. it’s okay.

write! i love to write. whether it’s your experiences with shifting, your feelings, or how your day went, it doesn’t matter.

watch your favorite show/movie. especially if you want to shift there.

make videos of your dr. your face claim and your s/o? that would be great.

GO FINISH YOUR SCRIPT. i’m not kidding here, just business.

study. there are several profiles here on tumblr that can help you delve deeper into shifting. well, not mine. here i only share my crazy ideas.

create new drs. why not?

read a book. it’s a good idea, especially for those who want to shift to book-based stories.

create scenarios of your dr.

create a pinterest board with photos so you can visualize your dr.

write a letter to your s/o. i’m serious. put it on paper. so, are we going to normalize writing letters?

go meditate.

watch videos of your dr. i bet there are videos of your s/o on tiktok!!

try new methods in shifting. really, find out what works for you.

i gave it my best shot here, i swear. but these are my tips more related to shifting, obviously, there are things like: go eat your favorite food.

but like i said initially, it can be a difficult process. you might end up installing it again. but if you really want to stop, you can! whatever. i hope this helps if you’re experiencing this. know that you can do it!! i know you can do it.

i was here, writing about my dr, daydreaming, listening to music that makes me think about my s/o (i recommend having a playlist, it’s really good). and then i thought, why not share my thoughts here? i don’t know if anyone really cares about what i write here, anyway, but i like to write.

i feel that we always get very frustrated when we follow methods and do everything “right” (within the standards that people impose) and wake up in our cr. we’re doing everything right, so why don’t i see any change? that’s something i’m still looking for answers to, so if you know, please let me know immediately.

i’ve seen people talking about this, and i’ve come to share my thoughts, but not answers at all, because i’m not an expert on shifting, and i wish i were.

i’m thinking about it (i don’t mean to say it’s a fact, but it’s what i’ve been thinking lately), and look, if you think about it, we change our reality every second, with every thought, with every choice. i’ll simplify it for you, imagine: you have two plates in front of you now, one blue and one red. and you choose the blue plate. so, without even realizing it, you shift to a reality where you chose this blue plate, because in another reality you might have chosen the red one. so why does shifting seem so difficult? we are literally shifting when we breathe, so why is it so hard to simply decide that i want to wake up in such a reality? it seems easy to simply decide, because after all, we’re not stuck here, we’re not trapped in any reality. i don’t have all the answers to so many questions yet, but i intend to think more about it and bring the answers that make sense to me! and probably study a little, because sometimes i feel like a crazy person here. I ONLY SAY SHIT.

putting my nagging aside, i know you might be having trouble shifting or losing hope. i’m not one to bring motivation here, but here we go, we all need it. everyone has their own individual journey with shifting, which sucks, like, what do you mean i can’t have a tutorial on how to shift? so, you might meet people who can shift in a week, a month, or a year. and that’s perfectly fine. everyone has their own pace. i know your cr might be having a bad time right now, but things will get better. keep your head up, we’ll all become experts at shifting eventually, trust me. you are valued, you are heard, and you are loved!! everyone in your dr is waiting for you, no matter when you shift.

i’m really bad at explaining things, and english isn’t my first language, so pretend you don’t notice my spelling mistakes!! (and i think my english is great btw).

yesterday afternoon (i don’t remember exactly what time it was), i decided to shift! which is very natural for me, i like listening to meditations in the late afternoon, you know? changing the subject very quickly, i want to make a post about things that help me with shifting, please let me know if you’d like that!! GETTING BACK TO THE POINT OF THE STORY.

yesterday, for some reason, i wasn’t really in the mood to listen to meditations, so i just put on a subliminal from youtube. i lay down (with headphones), covered myself with my blankets and closed my eyes, i took a few deep breaths and just stayed there. i wasn’t really focusing on it, you know? just listening and that’s it.

everyone who follows me here knows how much i like the vampire diaries and how much i wanted to shift to this dr, right? be honest! so, i started imagining myself lying in my bed in the cr and waking up in my dr. i like to think, like, “okay, i’m already in my dr, so what now? what am i going to do?” and i begin to think and imagine from that point of view, because i think it helps me to have more clarity about the fact that I’M ALREADY THERE.

i just started imagining myself waking up in my dr, getting out of bed, putting on my shoes, and going to Elena’s room (since i’m her older sister there) to wake her up, going to make some breakfast. and i was just imagining it, and that’s literally what it was! i wasn’t forcing myself, but trying to make it feel natural, because, like, if you go to a marvel dr, you’re not going to fight every day, you’re going to have regular, normal days, and that’s natural, because it’s a life!

honestly, i was just feeling and imagining what the atmosphere was like there and silly things like that. and then i heard that sound you hear when someone sits on the bed and it sinks, the sound of the springs, you know? i mentioned at the beginning that i didn’t know how to explain anything!!! but i heard the sound, and i hope you understand what sound it is, because i don’t know how to explain it. and i got scared, i opened my eyes immediately, because i was alone and that’s not normal, and i was in my room in cr. but i was happy, not with that usual frustration.

and it may have been something silly and simple, but it was literally everything to me, because it was real! i heard it, i could feel it, even if only for a moment. so if you were looking for some motivation: this is your motivation!!! go shift now, i’m telling you! we are all capable. i’m rooting for everyone who is reading this.

in my dr, i am Gilbert. Elena and Jeremy’s older sister. but i stated that i am actually the daughter of Jeremy’s parents, since Elena is the daughter of John and Isobel.

i even thought about saying that i was born a witch and then i became a vampire, now i’m both, or something like that, but i thought it was too much. so, let me know your opinion here.

initially, my first day at my dr takes place in season three, episode 7. i’ll already be a vampire (how i turn intro one is a story for another day). i’m one year older than Elena, so in the third season i’ll already be 19 years old.

what i can say is that i’m very close to Caroline Forbes, we’re truly good friends, since always. i’m not that close to Bonnie, but she’s the kind of friend i’d do anything for, too. as Elena’s older sister, i feel like she might feel a little trapped, because i also have the responsibility of taking care of her and Jeremy without Jenna there. i feel like she feels suffocated, i think that’s the word. our relationship is generally good, we’ve always been close, but after the originals arrived in town, our relationship deteriorated somewhat.

you can judge me, friends! my endgame is Klaus Mikaelson. what can i say? i love him, that’s it. and i think that’s why Elena and i drifted apart a bit, because after Stefan left town with Klaus, she got closer to Damon (and nothing against him, but in my dr i don’t like him). and when they (Stefan and Klaus) returned to the city and i got closer to Klaus, that’s when things got worse, because in fact, he’s not the best person in the world.

i didn’t write things that i want to happen, i just go and let it flow, you know? so, i don’t know if there’s anything else i should say? i haven’t written anything like this before, actually, i don’t know if i’m doing it right. okay, this is the dr i like the most, and honestly, i really want to see the people there, especially Klaus (i really like him😭 SORRY ELENA).

well, i think the starting point is that this is a shifting account. i want to post stories, talk about my experiences, ask for advice, and complain about my cr! so, feel free to ask questions, share stories, or simply talk about your experiences. this is an open space!

starting here, i’ve been in the shifting community since 2023. i don’t remember exactly where i wanted to go when i started, but i think it was either outer banks or stranger things, but i think it’s more likely to be obx. i was addicted to the show, sarah cameron is my middle name! like, hello (???) we love sarah in this house.

i’ve had experiences with meditation, listening to subliminal audios and things like that, but i’ve never been 100% yet! i’ll be there, guys!!! THIS IS A SERIOUS DEAL!

these days, what i want most is my the vampire diaries dr, i don’t focus so much on obx, stranger things, or fame dr. i think i can now declare that my main dr is tvd btw. WAIT! i really want to introduce this dr here!

well, i think that’s it! i hope i can post here and share many stories. i will wake up in my dr🕯️🕯️🕯️
