don't force shifts. it will just make you feel worse and harm yr efforts. let it happen naturally. everything comes in due time and everyones diff. i sometimes won't have an alienkin shift for MONTHS. but you gotta let it be natural. you can't force yourself to be a certain way, you have to give yrself time and be patient. But if you want to *induce* a shift (which is NOT forcing. never force.), then you can try a few diff things.

everyones diff but whenevr i induce my alienkin shifts i like to consume a lotta alien media. whatever it may be (random charas that happen to be aliens, media that predominantly have an alien cast, etc). If nothing happens then try something else!

You don't have to make yrself suffer to have a shift. just be you. express your alienness in whatever way you want. letting yrself to be free and exist is important. its self care. you don't have to force yrself to do anything or fit into a box of how much you think you need to shift or anything. not everyones shifts is like a light switch, usually it's more fluid for people. sometimes you'll have a small shift, sometimes you'll go in and out of shifts, etc. I found that by just doing general kin self care and just letting myself naturally go about and express my experience i've had an easier time shifting than if i were to force something yk?
also sorry if this doesnt make sense i was in a loud place righting it
