Thanks for the encouragement, everyone.

I am very consistent with journaling and take time every morning, no exceptions. My first goal was to increase the regularity of my LDs and I am ahead of my goals, which is great. I have even been able to remember my goals upon becoming lucid, but am definitely having trouble when it comes to stabilizing them.

Looking at my hands and spinning tends to make everything fuzzy or wake me up. I am not terribly concerned and suspect if I just try to have fun with my next few LDs, rather than trying to check off a specific task, they may stabilize on their own.

Here's a question. I have suspected that saying a mantra within the LD might help in getting more regular LDs, like "I can become lucid and return here". Does anyone have experience with this?
