The part of focusing your efforts on the right task is a rationality skill.
Recently one rationalist wrote on facebook how he used physical rationality to make his his shoulder heal faster after an operation and produce less pain. Having accurate models of reality is very useful in many cases.
What is "physical rationality"?
It's a new coinage, so the term isn't well-defined. On the other hand here are reasons to use the term.
On key aspect of "physical rationality" is a strong alignment between your own physical body and your own map of it. An absence of conflicts between system I and system II when it comes to physicality.
So I suppose things like the Alexander Technique, possibly Yoga, certain martial arts and sports might be implicated?
I don't know all influences in this particular case but it's certainly that direction. There was a reference to the book "A Guide to Better Movement" by Todd Hargrove.
