When did you first notice your body?

I got this featured image from a really cute blog that does a “tattoo tuesday” and because of my connection with Tuesdays i couldn’t resist using it. Plus…well…ALIVE.  (find blog here)

When did you first notice your body?

Sometimes i sit for long periods of time working and then i suddenly realise that my foot is in a strange and very painful position or that i have needed to wee for about four hours.  I switch off from my body and become all brain – too focused.

When we are in the edit suite, I get annoyed that my body wants food and to poo and anything really, but i don’t switch off from it.

But when did i first notice my body?  I used to have this sensation when i was going to sleep, as though i was on a giant swing – like the pirate ship ride at the show (for those non-Aussies, i mean a carnival).  I would feel that i was swinging right up to the ceiling and then be lurched back into the body in my bed. body.

but really, i don’t have a clear memory of my body as a child and i found myself constantly surprised by my body despite it being a great constant in my life.  Were you surprised? Are you surprised?
