I’m reminded of a story from Oliver Sacks, where one of his patients had some kind of vestibular issue that made him unable to tell that he was always tilted about 20°. He couldn’t correct it alone, because that felt level to him.
The patient had been a carpenter, so his solution was to mount a spirit level to his glasses. He watched it out of the corner of his eye and constantly corrected his posture. Eventually it became second nature to him.
