Realizations Has anybody realized their coordination decreases during a block? I mean, not only speaking coordination but other muscle coordination. Above all, fine movement coordination like the hands. It feels like you have to do the same conscious effort as when talking to direct your hand during those moments, the difference being of course that you don't have any pressure in that aspect so you can proceed normally most of the times. And has anybody realized that apart from feeling when we are going to have a block, we can also feel the proclivity/probability to have a block in a situation before even being in a situation? What I mean by this is that in the first case we feel the actual block in a conversation and in the second case we feel a sensation is indicative of heightening the probability of having a block even before that situation or even being able not to enter that situation. I have found myself having less of that latter sensation in the periods I have been able to talk more fluently and in fact think that what we must work towards is reducing this sensation.
