40 of my first 50 LDs:
I am lucid! run! find a goal! Run! try to fly! Run! wake up two minutes later tops. Slowing down was really hard at first.... Especially if there was a... person... of other gender around. FA's especially, since I wake up next to my hot wife

Slowing down will make your goals get to you better and make it easier to stabilize.
