Do your cravings hit hardest when everything feels chaotic? Stress is sneaky, and when it builds in the background, it can pull you right back toward your vape before you even notice. Without systems in place to protect your energy, it’s easy to slip into old habits. In this episode, we’re talking about two simple tools that help keep stress in check: boundaries and routines. Boundaries act like guardrails that protect your time and energy, rather than walls that shut people out. Routines bring structure and stability to your day so you can stay grounded when things start to feel overwhelming. Together, they make it easier to manage stress and stay committed to your goals.
