That's a really good thing. Excitement can ruin a LD faster than anything. On the other hand so can disinterest. I always try to maintain emotional balance.

I am not sure your motive but I only do this if the dream is fading. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't.

I think I'm going too try too focus on my body aswell, I usually tend too imagine me doing stuff I'd like too do in my Lucid Dreams in first person.
I tend too imagine that I look too my left and I can see my red huge wing, covered with scales (dragon) , breathing fire, punching the air and fire comes out of my fists (fire bending), hit the ground and do some earth bending stuff.
Oh and another question!

That's sound very interesting. He should write a tutorial on it. I think any mental exercise like this can help. Be sure to tell us how it goes for you.

Inspite of that, I want too hear all the things that makes people do it! I want too hear all the good things and bad things, the pros and cons!
And if you tried it, please describe how it was, what you felt like, everything.

Technically you aren't supposed to "try" for sleep paralysis as that is not the real goal. However, it can be a great mile marker and I use it to my advantage when I can. You can try this: Jakob's Awesome WILD Technique This tutorial actually emphasizes SP as the initial goal. I have tried it and it worked for me a few times.

For me SP is like this:

First I feel intense tingles and vibrations all over my body but mostly in my head and upper body. Think of when a limb loses circulation and goes to sleep. It feels similar to the sensation you get when the blood flow returns and you get feeling back but without pain.

Next are the sounds. What I hear is a rushing sound like wind or waves over layed with a ringing in my ears.
(ask paigyemps what she hears. LOL)

Then Hallucinations. Sometimes you see things in the room. Sometimes you think you moved and realized you didn't. Trying to move is interesting. Sometimes if you roll you find your face on the floor but your feet glued in place. I usually imagine the sensation of my feet floating up over the side of the bed. When I feel the floor on my feet I am up and out of my "body".

Everyone if different. So you may not ever get SP. I suspect if you try WILD or DEILD you will know.
