    Yes. It kind of replaces the need to fidget or rock. Pacing truly increases my focus and effectiveness (read superpowers engage). Pain is just a coping mechanism to make sure my performance doesn’t degrade right into fully disconnected from the moment.

        Figure out how to give yourself muscle cramps, its a great way to get pain and not have to worry about any marks. I learned how to do that as a kid and its helped me so much over the years.
