Anything, and set your intent all day and when you are going to bed that you want a LD, you really want to have the "I can do it" feeling.

After every RC you do, do awareness, and think if it works or not, and if it doesn't work, still think about it, be aware.. After every RC you do in your dream, you will do the aware thing and see if you are dreaming or not.

Keep your motivation up, you can do this, also with WILD, try be aware, do it around 4AM after you wake up

I forgot to mention that i own 4 dream journals actually, and i try to keep aware as possible, but
i dont really know how i should do awareness, i mean, there are different ways right?
my way is to try to notice everything, my body moving, the smell, the sounds, my thoughts.
maybe because of that i get weak mentally quick, but i don't see any other way to do it.
About WILD, to be honest i am scared to do it and i really can't get any guts to do it so

You can try notice the things around you, what you were doing was good, but notice the stuff, the texture of the ground, your wall, your room, try notice things about it.. Be aware what it looks like so that in a dream you are more aware and when you walk into the place where you were doing ADA, you'll notice and be like "Hey, this isn't what my room was like" sooner you'll be able to do it everywhere you go all day.

For three years if practice, you only have four DJs? Do you record dreams every night? What is your recall like? If your recall is not good, you need to work on that before you push for lucidity. You could be lucid and not even remember it.

We can only suggest ideas to you; we can't tell you what to do. Everyone starts from the bottom, though: record dreams to build recall, slowly incorporate the awareness and RCing, and find a good induction technique. If MILD is not working, stop using MILD.. Try hypnosis, autosuggestion, positive affirmations, and so on.

Don't be frightened of WILD--its a great experience! Don't expect SSILD to work overnight--you may need to adjust the technique. You know you can do this because you've done it before. Keep your successes in mind and keep moving forward.
