    When walking, my body and head act like they are separate entities. It’s like my body is getting somewhere while my head is coming along for the ride. For example, if I’m in the kitchen and want to go the bathroom, my body receives the command to go to the bathroom and enacts the go to bathroom protocol. My head entertains itself on the way by maybe singing, looking around, making faces, etc. It looks like my head and body are controlled by two separate beings doing their own thing. It does not look like they are working together. Is that understandable, and can anyone else relate?
