Why Don't You ...

Instead of eating because you're bored, why don't you ...

Clean something up. Choose something small like a junk drawer, a single shelf in a cupboard, or your cosmetic bag.

Get outside. Taking a 10-15 minute walk makes everything better.

Brush your pet or give a loved one a hand or foot rub.

Find a new recipe. You don't have to commit to making it.

Update your list of goals. If you don't have a list of goals ... um ... why?

Find some good light and groom your brows. They can always use it.

Write someone a note and mail it.

Write a LinkedIn recommendation for someone.

Update your iTunes playlists or sign up for Pandora and create new playlists.

Shred some old documents you've been meaning to get rid of.


Start a journal. In the book Happier, the author suggests you write a journal and include a portion about gratitude.
