An M-Shift, or Mental Shift, is where you get into the mindset of being a magical girl. This is very important! Transforming is shapeshifting, and you can't shapeshift without being in the proper headspace. You won't always need an M-Shift to transform, as it gets much easier as you get used to transforming, but you need it the first few times at least.
There are many ways to get into an M-Shift, and just like scripting, you'll need to find what works best for you. Personally, I like exercise and watching anime, but that might not be for you. You need to figure out what you like best and really get into the mindset of being a magical girl. Then you'll be finally ready to transform! Here are some ideas of things to do to help get into an M-Shift:
- Meditation
- Watching anime
- Running around
- Make/listen to playlists
- Listen to subliminals
- Be kind to others
- Practice fighting
- Helping others when possible
- Play games with magical girls in them
- Decorate your room
- Daydream
- Listen to ambiance
- Change your wardrobe
- Anything that makes you feel like a magical girl!
The point here is to pretend like you already are one. You'll most likely be able to tell when you're in an M-Shift, and when the time comes, now you can transform! You're almost there, time to exit training and fully become a magical girl!
