Well, I am still feeling frustrated. Fact is, I have a lot going on in my life that is taking up mental space. I feel like I just can't quite get my energy/motivation level up to that magic threshold that worked so well for me last year. I'm not sure if my previous success is a motivator or an obstacle at this point.

In any case, I did have a BRIEF moment this morning that feels like a baby step in the right direction. Inspired by Daniel Love, I have the word "Dream" tattooed on my inner forearm as a permanent reality check. Somewhere in my sleepy haze this morning, I dreamed I did a reality check on my arm. I looked at "Dream," looked away and willed it to change, then looked back and it said something else. I recall feeling surprised and realizing that my state check proved I'm dreaming, but I don't remember what happened after that. I probably woke up since I think I was in a really light sleep, having slept in much later than usual. In writing this now, I do realize this is a success, but I want more!

Trying to figure out...what's it gonna take......
