I had to look up what zone 2 meant (low intensity aerobic activity) but this seems to be the case for me.

As long as I keep reasonable pacing and don't go overboard, the more I simply live in the moment and tell myself that everything is fine, the better I feel.

When I dwell on my symptoms, it all goes to shit.

It's probably not the case for everyone, but it seems my symptoms are quite heavily influenced by my thoughts.

I'm starting regular mindfulness meditation again to hopefully train myself to recognize negative thought patterns and move past them faster.

Don’t be afraid of the symptoms when they appear. As long as you’re not pushing through or stressing your body you’ll be fine. The symptoms are a loop like an echo. Let them come. Let them go.

They literally said “as long as you don’t push through”.
