Train in a circus skill like juggling or tightrope walking.

“By day three, as i’m starting to despair, out of nowhere i manage to get them round twice, before dropping them in surprise. As i stood watching the balls, i had a somewhat distanced sensation of watching them. I could sense the unconscious movement of my hands, reminding me of the sensation when i learnt to touch type. As rapidly as i sensed this, it kicked back into a conscious activity, and i promptly dropped everything.”

“Standing there, in the sunshine, dropping the balls, one after another, again and again, in the vain and simple hope that eventually i’d exhaust my incompetence and it would click was no less frustrating for knowing that it was largely true. Learning to juggle is not a particularly conscious effort: the principles are fairly simple, the errors obvious. I rapidly identified that, in common with most learners, i tended to throw the balls forward, resulting in my walking progressively further forward to keep pace with the balls. Correcting this by trying to throw more directly up in the air resulted in a crick in my neck and most of the balls landing behind me.”

“The first time I tried walking while juggling, I kept my eyes focused on the balls, just as I do when juggling in place. It turns out there are disadvantages to not looking where you are going. The second time I was looking through the balls at where I was going. Today I tried to look through the balls, but be aware of them. Sort of watching them with my peripheral vision. This give me more awareness of their trajectory, while still watching where I am going.”
