update: tried expanding awareness a bit while playing a difficult level and took a really nice shit so glad to see it helps my digestion (completely unironically in case there's any confusion)

When I played my first videogame as a child, my leg would move up whenever I pressed the jump button🤣

Collapsed awareness and high intense narrow focus corresponds to a pattern of muscle tension
If you maintain an awareness of the room while you play you'll get less tight in your body
You don't need muscle tension to concentrate!

This is a super common pattern learned from childhood
Teacher yells at you to pay attention so you sit up straight to *show* that you are paying attention, and begin to conflate paying attention with using muscle
It's fun to play with sustained focus without using muscle
