So I'm very new at this. Like, found out about it two days ago new.

I'm focusing on performing reality checks a few times an hour. I do a few different ones, such as double taking at a clock, attempting to push my thumb through my palm, questioning how I got to my location, and counting my fingers.

I've read around and all the RC guides seem to be somewhat the same, so here's my issue....

I feel as if I'm performing an RC for the hell of it. When I attempt to push my thumb through my palm, I don't really expect I can do it. I always try to think "Next time I am dreaming, I will realize I am dreaming" after I perform an RC, but I don't feel as if I'm doing it right.

I guess what I mean is, I don't feel as if I have the right mindset? What do I do?
