Does anyone count the number of seconds you inhale (5) a cigarette, hold (5), and then exhale (5)?
Or. Start counting something (doesn't really matter what), and then start trying to balance that somehow?
For instance, I do this thing where I press against my forefinger around the nail and cuticle in a kind of compass shape? around the outside edge (think like a Catholic doing the cross over their chest... or whatever religion does such things). It's something peculiar that I've done for as long as I can remember. Always has to add up to 10. First I do a cross (4), then another cross (4) in the space left between, then 2 more over the first cross horizontal. Weird, eh?
Another thing. I always feel like my body is somehow off-balance. Like my back is straining too far one way or the other, like I'm sloped or tilted or one leg is too short or I've picked up a chronic slant.
Pretty inconsequential, but I find myself always thinking of it and it irks me. I'm always trying to readjust in bed so that I'm perfectly level/aligned and can never seem to feel right. Same thing doing push-ups. I never feel completely straight...
