I think DV needs a sticky thread somewhere, "I'm trying, but where are the lucids?" |

Thank you for a long and thorough reply, Fryingman! Much appreciated! I'm doing most of the stuff you mention, but some things might be difficult for me. Like regular sleep schedule - I have a chronic sleep disorder that makes a regular schedule nearly impossible. I'll just have to work around it I guess. I really should start exercising again. I used to go running and kayaking, but this winter I've been lazy. |

I'm sure a year and half will seem small when looking back, but right now it's terrible to think that it will take me that long to become a solid intermediate... I was really hoping to have some solid consistency is frequency and quality of dreams and recall in about 6 months.. I will really have to work for it, even if nothing seems to work, I will have to work even harder and never lose hope. It's an annoying fact of life and a huge obstacle to overcome (at least for me) but sometimes you have to sacrifice your present pleasure and comfort to have a chance of even greater pleasure and comfort in the future. I know this is true but I just keep messing up. Stalling my homework, messing up my sleep schedule, slacking on my strength training and diet. It's affecting every aspect of my life, my surroundings, even my soul. This lack of discipline or unreasonable laziness or whatever you may call it, it's eating me up.. |

^^ Ginsan, you can do it! The first step to achieving your goals is realizing that you're not doing enough! And that only *you* can fix it! A phrase from a motivational video posted in the last competition really stuck with me, and I remind myself of it nearly daily, when I think I'd rather just let go and be a zombie for a while instead of being aware of myself and my environment: "You have to want it like you want to breathe!" The more you make a habit of *doing it*, whatever "it" is for you, the better you'll feel about yourself and you'll set up a cycle of success and positive emotions and expectation. Positive emotions and expectation are key for LD success, and the opposite are absolutely LD-killers. |

I had a fun night last night. Won't be able to update until Thursday, but all those competing in upper league would probably like to know that I am doing well on LDs for my vacation. So you had better keep it up! |
