Woke up wondering, "If something can floor you, can something door you?"

Is door a verb like floor is a verb? I don't remembering anyone ever saying "something doored me". 

You could use it for things that block you that you just need the key to open.

Example: The key to the drum fill that was dooring me from getting to the end of the song was practice.

Today, breathing is on my mind. Especially breathing in time to music. An eight-count inhale, holding it for eight counts, exhale eight counts, and holding for eight.

I believe the term for it is "box breathing" which uses a four count. You need to adjust it to what you are playing or listening to.

I use it for remembering to get enough air while drumming. Keeps me from getting tired.

I also use it as a metronome. Keeps my mind on the tempo.
