Thay vì

-----

A simple substitute might change a habit.

Instead of a snack, brush your teeth.

Instead of a nap (ngủ trưa), go for a walk (đi bộ).

Instead of a nasty tweet or cutting remark, write it down in a private notebook.

Instead of the elevator, take the stairs (đi cầu thang bộ).

Instead of doomscrolling, send someone a nice note.

Instead of an angry email, make a phone call.

Instead of a purchase seeking joy, consider a donation (hiến tặng, từ thiện)…
