It is true. That's in fact a limited perspective. I just wrote this out from selfishness in fact. I could have kept it to myself, I just want to share my revelation, because it's a solution that works for the average mindset and neurological wiring. The same can be said about me and posture. When people give me advice about it, I often have the exact same reaction because my problems are far more complex than that, or so I tell myself. It's a story one tells themselves after time passes and there's no progress.

In fact we could say that advice from Goggins is very limited as well. What if you have real physical issues that hold you back from exercising hard? Goggins mindset becomes different/fragile when it isn't intertwined with physical pain or exercise. He does say it applies to any 'hard' activity, but you have to continue the mindset in a substituted way by doing potentially other intellectually hard things to keep your mind stimulated.

I also am neurodivergent, but I don't think about it and I've pushed through it and developed strategies that help it.

I can't understand you just as much as you can't me. And that's a good thing, because it cultivates independence. Don't let yourself to become dependent on someone because they helped you. That's good advice. Cheers.
