Body Scan meditation exercise. https://youtu.be/BlWo7sqWLNk here is an example

It’s not adjusting to become more like it, it’s adjusting so you can navigate… This Points at everything

I guess with everything combined, one toastie is closer to 300 kcal, (local nutrition org says 81kcal per slice of bread) and doesn’t really fit the low cal request, it’s true.

It works so well for me for staying away from just rawdogging a whole bag of potato chips, which isn’t even that much more calories, but the type of calories are way worse.

I do ham and cheese full fibre toasties. About 150-200kcal but very filling. Not having any ‘bad’ snacks immediately available in the house also helps a lot.

This, ask questions, listen to the answers. If the personalities are so very different, I would make sure that i bring an extra dose of patience and chill, so that any moments where the personalities might ‘clash’ or find each other can be passed with respect and empathy, instead of frustration and emotion.

If I need more ‘connection power’, I will omit any negative comments that might float up my brain and keep them for myself for a while, and only focus on sharing my positive or neutral (philosophical?) thoughts about the current subject. Hope you can find some points to connect, but taking this kind of step to help that along is already a great sign :-). If you could update us in a while, I would love that.

EDIT I saw a list of his hobbies you shared, that opens up the convo a lot!

Minecraft, baking and cooking would be my focus, because all of that can be co-op :-) and it aligns with my interests. You could start a Minecraft world together, so he can show you how it works. You could bake a cake together, or bake your own cake and then ask for tips on how to improve? Ask him what is his fav dish to cook and try to make a very good version of it together?

Cool stuff, thanks for sharing!

What about Red Theft Autoredemption, or Overwatch of Legends? 😆
