Weird/Unique habits you do while playing

So lately I noticed a habit that I do while playing 4k mania. Whenever I run into a stream, I tend to swing my tongue left to right to what notes I'm hitting. When I tried to stop doing it, my streaming ended up worse than when I did swing my tongue.

Another habit I learned I have is that I sometimes lose focus while playing and start thinking about if my thumbs are resting down or floating up. This one obviously messes me up most of the time. A really odd one if you ask me.

Does anyone else do the same things as me while playing? Do you guys have any other weird things you tend to do while playing mania? Do those habits make you worse or better at playing?

I sometimes have irregular breathing when i focus too much going for accuracy scores. This can lead me to holding my breath which obviously becomes a problem. I'm getting much better at controlling my breathing while i play, but it used to be a problem when going for stamina scores on longer charts.

Maybe not the same but when i play a section i find to be easy and can normally hold perfect accuracy on, ill relax my posture which usually results in unnessecary drops in accuracy or a miss on sudden longjacks or bursts. Still working on moving past it.

I daydream during 50-70% of a map during stamina maps/longer maps (around 3+ minutes range). I guess it helps since it makes me less nervous and I hit notes instinctively and evenly, but when I snap out of daydreaming I usually make a mistake right after.

I also tilt my head/body if I'm really concentrated in a map.

i move my left forearm but not my right forearm off of my chair's armrest when doing stamina stuff, also when doing fast jumptrills i make my right hand wrist up but not my left hand for the duration of the jumptrill
