Example

Omar adopted a rescue cat during lockdown and started playing with her every morning before work. Five minutes with a feather wand turned into a full routine. It helped him wake up, de-stress, and start the day in a better headspace. The cat loved it, but so did he—it was the simplest way to reset after a long night of doomscrolling.
