Unconscious/habitual attention

• Back pain.
• Yesterday's stretching exercises found me tense. My back and waist is still tender, painful for some exercises. Tried to bring the discomfort/pain into focus to stretch more without going to far.
• While riding the mountain bike up a trail that I seldom take, I felt fear, almost panic. Sounds, even of my own making, would've made hairs stand on end if they're weren't plastered down under Lycra. I wonder if there's something actually there, as I have had this feeling repeatedly in that location.

Unconscious/habitual action

• Sleeping, some of my eating.
• Typing
