You missed one of the most important things they may not be doing, excersize.
This has an incredible "freeing" effect on the mind and "soul". You dont need to be a HIT or cross fit fanatic. just get out and active reguarly. This will also help with sleep and eating better.
Get into regular tiring excersize. It will help with so much.

I personally enjoy exercise as a hobby, but doing some productive labor, commuting or running errands by foot/bicycle, engaging with active kids, etc, can all hit the same mark in terms of ongoing wellness.

- kd5bjo 2y agoWhen I was a kid, I developed a strong aversion to anything described with the terms “healthy” or “exercise” because anytime they were used, it inevitably meant that the activity had nothing else to recommend it and would be unpleasant. I think I’m finally over that particular hang-up, but it took decades.
- Clubber 2y agoWalking for 30 minutes 3 times a day helps me a lot. I need to start doing it again. It's so easy to ass out on the couch after a grueling day, and when you're burned out, every day is a grueling day.
