For naturally struggling people one useful thing can be to find ways how to doing nothing can be useful and healthy. I have very good experiences with intermittent fasting—for an NSP “just suffer and deal with it” i.e. fasting is FAR easier than “cook something weird, unusual and healthy”. But an unexpected advantage I found was what through IF positive motivation and energy kicks in, through the good old hunger pathway. Apparently the old adage “stay hungry” is true in a non-symbolic way as well: a bit of fasting puts the body in a generally motivated, pushed, “let’s go hunting” mode.
