You can try different stabilization technique, like rubbing hands or spinning, but really, i would not suggest making stabilization technique a requirement for good lucid dream, it's nice tool but it should not be a must.
Thinking too much about stabilization can lead to destabilization. So instead of 'i must stabilize' attitude while doing stabilization, do it instead in more relaxed way, slow down, and without worrying, anchor yourself. Also think positive! If you keep thinking that something wouldn't work, it ofcourse will be unlikely to work.
