Hello there @law59, such insightfulness you bring to the central nervous system and the importance of resetting. You explained the tools of moderation and modification quite well in your examples. These are tools the Mayo Pain Rehabilitation Center teaches. What stood out to me as being wise and helpful were setting alarms for small meals every couple of hours, rest breaks, journaling (you say triggers - also recommended for gratitude or stress release), graded exposure = adding activity or sensor triggers slowly and paced to help determine threshold and find plateaus, not overdoing or as the Mayo Pain Rehab calls it, "Push/Crash", self-care and calming strategies like meditation and proper breathing techniques...my goodness the list goes on!
