💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I live in a small apartment and can’t have pets, but I have a stuffed dog I’ve had since I was a kid. Every morning, I give it a hug before I start my day—it sounds silly, but it brings me comfort. On especially stressful days, I visit a nearby dog park just to watch the dogs play. Even just being near animals makes everything feel lighter. There's something about their presence that quiets the noise in my mind and reminds me to slow down and just be present.
