It may not have anything to do with abstaining from food if you don't want it to. You could abstain from something else. Perhaps you could give something "away" to those who suffer (instead of giving something "up" to make yourself suffer). Or you might simply focus on adding light to your life. It may be appropriate to include prayer, meditation, "<span id="goog_1606573790"></span><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/59.14?lang=eng#13" target="_blank">rejoicing</a><span id="goog_1606573791"></span>" and</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;"> whatever else might be deemed as "all the energy of one's heart." </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">For more information as to why this might be a good idea, please see the following points and cited scriptures.</span></div>
