It's because of my bad flashbacks if i didn't have that then I will be good.I try to redirect my thoughts when I am thinking about them but it's hard

i think it may take a little more then just intent to project.
there many ways to project, just a matter of finding one that works for you.
i like using visuals.
i visualize a story until i slip into a lucid dream, then project from there

Try doing an astral projection method which also involves regular energy raising eg the one in Denning and Phillips book Astral projection is the strongest one I've found for this (Robert Bruces methods didnt work so well for me).

I've found that energy raising can greatly aid in successfully having OBEs

I think it is a good idea to do an ap technique. My problem is I often forget to do an technique. If I remembered to do an ap technique I might get out of my body.

When people can't astral project it is sometimes a root problem. I am doing some shamanic training called The Branching Oak. The Oak is a doorway to the Divine, and the branches all lead to higher realities, hence they grow in the sky. One of the teachings is to not go look in the crown for things that only grow in the roots, such as angry, upset, sad.

Have you tried simply projecting your consciousness into the astral, rather than trying to project your astral body out of you?

I made an effort this morning to ap. I do not always make an effort to ap and if I do I have been falling asleep. This morning I made progress. I remembered to do an ap technique except it was not working so I tried get myself more relaxed first then I would try again. I felt myself moving not my physical self. I thought I would wait and see what happens. The ap ended. I thought next time it happens I will get out of my body. That is the advice I give to other people. I felt myself moving again so I got out of my body. When I got out of my body I forget to get myself alert. Parts of my experience was like a dream and some parts looked like it was real. I feel happy. At least I had an experience this time.
