Somethiing that I got to thinking about today and wondered if it fit others.

When I'm off and/or freezing, doing one thing is hard, doing two is impossible. Any form of multi-tasking is out.

That extends out to things like walking and looking around. Turning or changing stride length. Negotiating a crowded or cluttered room. Too much input.

Same thing when I first stand up. Takes a minute to recalibrate. Process all that input.

Now we all know the "tricks". Imagine a line and step over. Laser pointer on the floor. Holding a walking stick out ahead and following its tip.

These techniques have a common element of requiring that I focus on something - the laser dot for example. That in turn quietens the confusion in my head. Looking at my toes does a similar thing.

I imagine a chaotic state in my brainwaves. Focus quitens it. DBS does too. So does a metronome or music with a steady beat.

Anybody?
