When, by contrast, I am outside the flow of experience – because, for example, I am bored, stressed or in pain – my body is foregrounded, and becomes focussed on as a thing in the world, ein Körper; and time, too, becomes my focus, some thing I observe anxiously from the outside, constantly looking at my watch, only too aware of something I call ‘lateness’.2 This change in the nature of attention changes the experience of time and the body.
