It's important to keep track of your experiences and how you are feeling. This can help you gather information and make it easier to look back weeks, months, or years later. Therianthropy is an innate part of us, but it can change over time. For example, the type of shifts that you have can change. Their frequency and intensity can also change. We are constantly learning about ourselves.
Track shifts and their duration. Write down what causes you to shift so that you can be mindful of that and learn to keep calm. Record dreams that may be related. You can even keep track of foods, songs, and activities that help you feel like your animal self. It's also important to keep track of things that keep you calm so that you can control shifts. Record quotes and information that you find helpful that you might want to reference later.
