I have a fun mental exercise that for whatever reason I tried to do in my teens, and I've found it difficult ever since.

Imagine a clock face or a stopwatch with only one hand on it. Now imagine that clock hand moving clockwise, slowly increasing in speed. Abruptly, killing all momentum, try to imagine the clock hand stopping and moving counter-clockwise at the same speed. Then again, revert back in a split second to clockwise.

The first directional change I found relatively easy to do, but from then on it takes intensive imaginative work to stop that momentum in my own mind. I find it quite interesting because I conjured the entire imagine myself and yet somehow my brain fights against being able to control its inertia with any degree of ease.
