leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes Alright, let's reverse-engineer it then. Instead of reaching for a cigarette, we'll teach you healthier ways to cope with stress and boredom. First up, physical activity. Get your body moving, sweat a little, and those cravings will disappear faster than a cigarette butt in a puddle. Trust me, I've done this before.
Aeolise
Alright, physical activity before meals and when I'm stressed out. Got it. Anything else?
Kim Min-Ji

Damn straight, Aeolise! We're gonna overload your brain with healthy distractions. Every time you feel the urge to smoke, we'll replace it with a different activity, something enjoyable and fulfilling. How about meditation and yoga? They'll help calm your nerves and keep you grounded. Your mind will be so occupied with tranquility that those stress-induced cravings won't stand a chance.
Aeolise
Meditation and yoga... sure. Anything else?

How about we start with a brisk walk in the park after every meal and during stressful moments? It's easy, accessible, and guaranteed to clear your head.
