Maybe you don't.

If you are enduring issues or moods that take your mind away from LD'ing, it might be best to step away from the practice for a little while, until you can find yourself honestly enthusiastic about LD'ing again. If you are not into it, LD'ing day work can become a real nuisance, and that feeling of annoyance at having to do, say, RC's, might linger after your mood swings back to positive; that is never a good thing... A key element of a successful lucid mindset is being able to recognize the times that doing lucidity work might not be worth the effort, or might even be counter-productive.

So you might take a break from LD'ing until your heart can be in the effort. Who knows? your dreaming mind might try to lift your spirits with a spontaneous LD in the meantime!
