Hey, I am slowly losing motivation and am slowly only continuing since I know I will automatically regain motivation at some point and would be happy to have lucidity then. It sort of satisfies me currently to be making progress at all, but I don't know if it's going to stay like that. I hope I will be able to keep up the mentality of it being great for me in the future if I do it now, but I don't know if I can keep it up. What do I do? |

Thank you for your reply. I'll try not to think about failing, then. If I do, it won't be so bad, and if I don't then the intention of not failing will probably have brought lucid dreams earlier than if I wouldn't have, I guess. Not sure if what I said made sense |

Never rely only on motivation. Every emotion is short-lived, always. Understand this rush of excitement will inevitably run its course. There will be bad days, dreadful days even, but these are when our practice matters most. Self-discipline will get you far, not motivation. Be wary that the road to any skill could be long; by how much we can't really know. And we must be patient. The will of putting yourself out there and practice, despite how you feel, is important. |

1) Take a break. It won't hurt your practice, in fact, sometimes it helps. Jump back in when you feel ready. Once you feel refreshed, just do what feels fun at first. |

My motivation has fluctuated a TON over the past decade that I’ve been into LD’ing. Even after I’d have the most mind-blowing lucid dream it was difficult to keep up the routine. I would just say that it’s okay to focus on other things every now and again. Dreaming will always be here for you when you feel like getting back into it |
