I am unsure when I'll start doing it (even though I THINK that I think that it's a good idea). This makes me think that our body sometimes has a mind of its own.
And that our consciousness is more like a mirror (replay of actions, a way for us to see what we just did and a way to predict what we will do in the future).
Because sometimes we don't want to do something (consciously) but we end up doing it next time anyways. It feels like it takes some time (sometimes more than a few months) before the rest of the body/mind system catches up with this conscious decision and actually starts to act it out. Ok - This is all just my thinking...

Well, as I say, it reduces the stress to treat it as an academic matter. If one is agnostic about it it is not like your afterlife depends on it.
So you can keep turning it over in your head and, like a lot of puzzles, it can sometimes shake out out when you would doubt that it ever would.
