Am I forcing correctly?

[Zitrome]

I started off by setting a timer so I knew how I long I had been able to force, and then I wrote down all my tulpas personality traits and I drew them.'after that I sat down and imagined them sitting I front of me. I talked to them and told them about myself for about ten minutes, and then went on to talking about them for twenty of twenty five mins. So I was forcing for a hour. Also a side question, can you multitask while forcing or no ?

It sounds like you are doing it right. Forcing is pretty much visualizing your tulpa and talking to it. You can multi-task while passive forcing, like by talking to your tulpa while washing dishes for instance.

Welcome to the community, Zitrome.

 

It sounds like you're somewhat on the right track, but I have a few suggestions for you. Don't worry about the length of your sessions; you can do consistent, short sessions, or longer ones - it's whatever feels comfortable for you. When you're talking to your tulpa during these sessions, you can explain the traits to them, detailing what they are and how they would affect what your tulpa would do in different scenarios. What do you mean by 'drawing' your traits?

 

Try to narrate as often as possible when you're not doing active sessions. This would be considered work that you can do while multitasking, talking to them and keeping them in your mind. You can also do passive visualization, and that's just visualizing them around you in your environment.

As Vosaiu said, you do not need to worry about hour counts. Everybody has different levels of natural talent and experience, so that is going to mean that you need to move at your own pace. Comparing yourself to others is only necessary as a very loose guideline since everyone has different capabilities. As for multitasking, there is narration, where you basically talk about whatever- kind of like a constant stream of consciousness. The early stages are the most critical, in my opinion, since once your tulpa starts talking back and whatnot, you can communicate and work together from there.

Fade: Sounds like a fine start to us.

Multitasking is alright as well, as far as out experience goes! In fact, I think it can be useful. Developing a headmate is easier with conversational material or interesting things to share with them and get them involved in. If you can do something together and work on your tulpa - like watch a movie, read a book, etc etc - that's great. Ask, or, if they aren't quite vocal and autonomous yet, imagine what they might think of what's going on with the activity you are doing. So long as they are involved, it's a perfectly good way to force.
