Was really hoping there would be more substance to this. It's about as helpful as the solution to depression being "just stop feeling sorry for yourself!" Little better than the Protest Song-- "the world's going to shit, everything is awful, but all you have to do to fix it is...<mumble mumble mumble>."
That said, it's not wrong, just seriously low-effort and underwhelming. The same advice applies to healthy living-- ideally you want to reduce "cheap" dopamine hits (sugars, fats, etc.) and replace them with the rush you'd get from exercise. Some (can't speak for all) rehab clinics put patients to work doing menial physical labor (gardening, etc.) around the grounds for this purpose-- the intent is to replace their synthetic drug-based dopamine cravings with a self-generated and sustainable alternative. If nothing else it gives you something to do for a few weeks to get your mind off of the malaise that comes with withdrawal.
In the end, if you're feeling lazy and bored, no amount of advice from underqualified and overprivileged yahoos on the internet is going to get you off your ass enough to do something about it. There's a reason people end up in these ruts to begin with.
