catch myself

I catch myself calculating how much money I should leave for him.

I sometimes catch myself in the middle of the conversation with someone saying things that do not sound like me.

I sometimes catch myself thinking: how come X is making such a meal of having one child when I manage with four perfectly well?

I stumbled over a book in the walkway and had to catch myself on the edge of a table.

So often I scornfully catch myself wishing for things I don't have, or at least things I don't have any right wishing for.

But sometimes I catch myself doing things he would do.

I catch myself, again, thinking about money.

The lesson here is that I make sure I catch myself whenever I start using instrumental reasons to justify setting the goal.

I trip, I fall, I catch myself.

I catch myself doing this more often than I like.

(The minute I catch myself playing games on this thing, it goes on eBay. But most people want to. )
