Help me get my lucidity back.

I would consider myself to be a good lucid dreamer. I'm no pro. Not by a long shot. But I'm no novice either. I've managed to achieve a lot in my lucid dreams, even if they do tend to be quite short.

However my last lucid dream-or at least a proper lucid dream- was a month ago when I did task of the month for April. Since then my lucidity has been virtually none existent and my regular dreams are quite fuzzy and I only remember small bits.
I've said many times that my lucidity fluctuates and dry spells are common for me. I put this down to stress and complicated personal issues. In the last month things have been very difficult for me and I've had to deal with a lot of stressful stuff and therefore my mood has been very low. This means I haven't been putting in as much effort as I would like towards lucid dreaming. I want to but you know when you're in such a difficult place it's hard to put energy even into the stuff you love.

The thing is lucid dreaming makes me happy. It makes me feel great. When I wake up in the morning after being lucid the whole day feels great and I feel inspired to get on with stuff. If I don't lucid dream for a while I start to feel depressed but when I feel depressed I have no motivation to do anything, including practicing techniques for lucid dreaming. So it's a bit of a catch 22. I won't go into detail about whats been going on for me in the last month but the end of these issues is not in sight.

I need motivation. I need a way to separate myself from the issues in my life long enough to focus on lucid dreaming. I just need some inspiration. If anyone has any advice, any tips on how to relax my mind and put my life on hold for a bit or just any inspirational words to get me going I would really appreciate it.

I wanna get lucid tonight!
Thanks

You said it best yourself already. Lucid dreaming makes you happy so that should be all your motivation. I tend to think of lucid dreaming as a muscle that needs to be worked out. It takes time but eventually you get where you need to be.

Hey! I remember you :D

I think we all understand how tough it is to stay motivated with lucid dreaming, especially under a dry spell. Just keep in mind that it is an absolutely amazing experience which most of the world doesn't even know about, or is lucky to experience. F*ck love, lucid dreaming is the closest thing to magic!
