how to get what you want without affirmations
you don’t need words. you don’t need to sit in front of a mirror and say “i am rich, i am powerful, i am devastatingly beautiful” fifty times like a malfunctioning wind-up doll. reality does not care for your diction. you are not a salesman, and the universe is not some reluctant buyer waiting to be convinced.
the mistake is thinking you need to tell it what you want. the bigger mistake is thinking you need to tell yourself. affirmations are training wheels. good for beginners, good for those who still need to hear it. but the minute you’re relying on them, you’re admitting that some part of you doesn’t believe it’s already true.
belief is the whole game. not logic, not effort, not obsessively restating your desires as if you’re a student cramming the night before an exam. have you ever noticed how the things that come easiest are the things you never had to try for? how the moment you stop fixating on something, it seems to slip right into your hands? it’s not luck. it’s not irony. it’s that you moved into the having state without resistance.
forget the script. forget the language. what would you feel if you already had it? what would you not feel? because the absence of desire is the presence of fulfillment.
get into that state.
not the one where you are trying to be, but the one where you already are. it’s not about pretending. it’s not about hoping. it’s about settling into the quiet, absolute certainty of someone who does not need to ask. because the ones who have never ask.
TW:suicide, self-harm
My life has not been easy, I was born in Nigeria, my mother and I immigrated to Spain when I was only 1 year old. At the age of 3 she abandoned me. Luckily for me at the age of 5 a family adopted me, the first few years went well, but the last 4 years they started to mistreat me. At 12 years old social services took me away from the only place I considered my home. After that, at the age of 13 I started self-harming and suicidal thoughts. Although I didn't know it, depression was destroying me. A glimmer of hope lit my heart when I discovered shifting, I tried for 2 years but got nowhere. So I quit, mentally I wasn't getting any better and I was desperate to change my situation.
And that's when I discovered the law of assumption, but, there was so much information and contradictions that I didn't know what was true and what was not. So I tried to take my life.
After the attempt, I promised myself that I would never do something like that again and that I would try to get my life back on track. And now, about 2 months ago everything changed for the better. I realized that I was making everything too complicated, and that manifesting is very easy.
I have shared my story because I want you to know that no matter what is going on in your life, there is always another option, another way out, another opportunity.
How to stop checking 3d no glue no borax
how to stop checking 3d?? no glue, no borax, no spiritual snake oil, just the facts.
right, so, you want out. you want to stop checking 3d like it’s a stock market crash, like it’s a renaissance painting where, if you just squint hard enough, the divine truth will reveal itself. you want to stop, but you keep doing it, and now you’re here, which means you are both self-aware and in trouble. let’s fix that.
let’s diagnose. checking 3d, whether compulsive, casual, or full-tilt existential crisis, is a symptom. you are looking for proof. confirmation. a wink from the universe that everything is working, that your assumptions are correct, that the metaphysical postman hasn’t lost your order. it’s like shaking a polaroid before it develops: you think you’re helping, but you’re just interfering.
here’s the brutal truth, courtesy of every dead philosopher worth their salt: reality doesn’t care if you check. schrodinger’s cat is going to be what it’s going to be whether you pry open the box or not. your job, if you actually want to stop checking, is to stop thinking you’re the forensic analyst of your own existence. because you’re not. you are the architect. and architects don’t micromanage bricks. they draw the plans and trust the builders.
so, the method. no glue, no borax, no manifesting mala beads necessary. just strategy.
i , replace the action : every time you catch yourself checking, do something else. immediately. drink water. text a friend. recite some poetry (preferably by someone dramatic, like plath or pound). make this a rule: if you check, you must also perform an arbitrary task, like doing a plank or translating a sentence into latin. you won’t like this. that’s the point. your brain will get bored and stop the cycle.
ii , reframe the impulse : checking is a power move in reverse. you are telling the universe you don’t trust it. that’s embarrassing. stop doing that. act like someone who already has what they want, because people who have what they want do not spend their free time poking at the logistics of their own happiness like it’s a faulty ikea table.
iii , refuse to engage with time : checking is a byproduct of impatience. impatience is a byproduct of thinking time is linear and oppressive instead of weird and malleable. ignore time. pretend it doesn’t exist. pretend you are a 14th-century aristocrat who has never seen a clock and moves exclusively by candlelight and gut instinct. the more you detach from time, the less you will care about what happens when.
iv , control your narrative intake : what you consume, you become. if you’re constantly reading anxious forum posts and scrolling through tiktok videos of people catastrophising, congratulations, you’re marinating in doubt. stop it. read things that make you feel powerful. read war strategy. read virginia woolf. read a single wikipedia article on some obscure form of combat and let your brain steep in the idea that you are the general, not the foot soldier.
v , become so interesting that you forget to check : this is the most important step. if your reality is boring, you will check on it like a neglected houseplant. make your life impossible to check on. fill it with distractions so lush and decadent that you forget to care. become the person who is too busy living to investigate. read difficult books. learn weird skills. get obsessed with something obscure and ridiculous (medieval astronomy, japanese joinery, renaissance poison recipes). make your brain so occupied with living that it forgets to spiral.
last thing, and this is crucial: trust like it’s your job. because it is. trust is not passive. trust is an active, radical decision. the moment you commit to trusting, fully, unflinchingly, with the audacity of a gambler pushing all their chips forward, you become untouchable.
so go. don’t check. do something better.
ꨄ˚。⋆୨୧⋆ ˚。⋆ Hey you, yes you! Stop obsessing over symptoms, and angel numbers, and any other "sign" from the universe. You don't need any of that to tell you what you are; you don't need that validation. You are more than capable of making your dream life happen, YOU. Not a number, not a twitch, not a random picture that popped up on your Pinterest feed. YOU.
You are not desperate, you're not sad and needy looking for someone or something to tell you what you need to hear. You are not desperate, you have infinite power.
Stop relying on validation from external sources you don't need them. Newflash, numbers don't shift your reality, symptoms don't shift your reality. But you know what does? YOU do!
You are the universe, you are powerful, you are GOD, you are everything but someone who can't even assume the life that they want. Do you realize how easy we have it? Anything you could possibly want is yours, if you decide that it is.
And another thing stop stop STOP relying on "symptoms." I hate the fact that the term even came about in the shifting community. The twitching, itching, whatever it may be that you feel is just your body being relaxed/falling asleep. Those are NOT indicators that you are shifting. Why on Earth would you let something/someone else hold YOUR power in their hands? What is it? Are you afraid? Do you not believe that it can be THIS easy for you? Well, it is. Acknowledge that, accept that, assume that, and be that.
Never forget who you are and what you're capable of.
manifestation and shifting literally is so easy if you understand how it works.
you just to have to embody who you want to be.
that’s literally it.
stop over complicating it and looking for methods with hundreds of difficult steps.
you can manifest/shift at any time by simply KNOWING and, why not, also having FUN while doing it.
stop making yourself miserable and start having fun, your life is yours only.
no more excuses, start now.

thank golly for shifting, I would have gone insane without it !!!
. . . realization within shifting
entered shiftblr recently, and it helped me to build a "no matter what im going to do, I'll eventually shift" mindset. like. literally, it's my destiny to shift. no matter what. i already know how to do it. it took me 4 years to realize it. i am so much more than my physical body, i am pure consciousness. and im NOT saying this just to trick my brain into believing it, i just KNOW.
for so long, i've been trying to affirm things without trusting them, and it gave me a reaaally hard time to fight my intrusive thoughts and personal beliefs. i was just saying things out loud, giving no meaning to them. saying affirmations without feeling them. but now, it's like a door opened. or, i can say that my MIND opened. there's so much to discover, and i feel SO lucky to be part of all of this. lucky to acknowledge something that many people struggle to believe.
i am so happy that i can finally believe my own words. i can finally trust the process. i can finally trust myself.
i feel closer than ever, thanks to this community.
happy shifting y'all <3
people shifting on accident and then being absolutely mind boggled is my fav genre
“i shifted, I thought you were lying about it but it’s real”
tell me something I don’t know
FYI, you CAN shift while still hearing your CR/OR surroundings.
I just (mini)shifted (yes I hate that term) and was in my DR bedroom while still hearing my brother talking in my CR.
Senses shift last.
