Thread: I need help...

I can't get myself into the habit of doing RCs. Help!

Repeat mantras all day, and again before you go to sleep.
Practise your reality checks all day, and again before you go to sleep.
Best advices I can give you, still new myself

The only times you should ever RC, is when you wake up or see something strange.

- Obviously, when you wake up you want to check it's not a FA.
- The reason you only do RC's when you do something strange, is because the whole point of them is to get you to question reality. This is what carries over into the dreams, not the actual RC's themselves. It's so when you see something wierd in your dreams, instead of thinking it's normal you think "Wait, is that normal? I'm not sure... Better do a reality check." *Does RC* "I'm dreaming!"

You very rarely just do a random reality check out of habit.

You also need to make sure that when you RC, you don't just go through the motions. After you see the strange thing (in reality of course), whilest you're RCing, you need to ask yourself; "How did I get here? What was I doing before? Is what I'm seeing possible? Is there anything else around me which is strange?"

Remember, if you just think "This feels real." It is useless.

I hope this helps

Then you're either lazy or lack discipline.

Do one whenever you enter a room. Or whenever you have to pee. Associate them with something that will happen a lot.

@Everyone but Xel Thanks.
@Zel I can't remember, I am not being lazy or lacking discipline.

Write something like RC on the backs of your hands

I forgot about that. I used to have that as my cell phone background.

I used to write "LD" or "RC"on my hands, but now I only do it when something odd happens because it makes more sense. It makes you more aware because you search for something wierd so you can rc, which makes you more in tune with your surroundings when usually you'd just tune out. And we all know that awareness=lucidity!
