[AnthroHeart]

I can focus on the intent of shifting instead, but I don't see how that would accomplish anything.

I'm glad that you mentioned this because I think that this is a very important thing. You're not really scrapping the idea of shifting. The intention of shifting is actually the absolutely wisest thing to do in your situation. The intention is something that helps prepare your mind to eventually be able to shift effortlessly. And that leads me beautifully into the next thing that you mentioned...

I also worry about the in between shift. There will be a long time where I'm in between human and anthro, a partial shift. I might look ugly and disfigured then. But I'll have to keep my confidence up. I haven't changed appearance yet. It starts internally I guess.

An in-between shift is absolutely something that you don't want to do, and what I'm talking about is not that at all. The first thing is the intention that prepares your mind to be able to shift. This intention of shifting should be the gentlest focusing ever. If you do it for an hour, it should be a very light focusing. This intention, I think, ideally should take years of preparing the mind. This stage helps you work out all the kinks, insecurities and blockages in your mind that prevent you from shifting. And after you've done the work of preparing your mind for years, the actual shifting into an anthro should be so effortless that it would be like putting a hot knife to butter. If you truly do put years of work into this, you should be able to slip in and out of your anthro self, effortlessly. Ideally, it should be as easy as breathing. And it should ideally be easier to control than your breath.
