As I was approaching a staircase, I realized that the distance to the stairs meant I should start with my left foot. I realized it felt really wrong to start going down the stairs with my off foot. Most excitement I’ve had today.
Now you’ve got me thinking about which foot I start going down stairs with.
This reminds me of a story my wife told me, but I also found it on this blog: https://www.apraksinblues.com/apk-article/master-lius-judgement-this-grandfathers-beard/
There once lived a old man who had a long mustache and beard. He had a wonderful appetite and slept soundly at night. One day his grandson asked him, “Grandfather, when you go to bed, where do you put your beard — under the blanket or on top of it?” The old man had never thought about this, so he couldn’t answer his grandson. But in the evening, lying in bed, he tried to decide how, indeed, it was better to sleep: with the beard under the blanket or on top? All night, he tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep.
As long as you still pause slightly, and then proceed down slightly faster than your normal walking speed
Nooo! You have to start off on the right foot!
Calm down.
