42. Get Creative.
We all know the saying about idle hands.
Boredom is probably one of the leading causes for overeating. Fill in
your free time with a creative activity that you enjoy. Try a new craft
project, learn to knit or take a dance class.
I personally like to make my own jewelry
and other crafty things. Not only does that activity give me a creative
outlet with something to do with my hands other than feed my face, but I also
sell my creations for extra cash. Talk
about a win-win situation!
Don’t know where to start? Check out local community centers
or websites like Meetup.com to find an activity that sounds interesting to you.
I’m a member of a few Meetup groups and I really enjoy trying new activities
with a group of like-minded people. Just recently, my ladies social group took a
pottery painting class and I loved it! Here is a so-so picture of my treasure, a cupcake trinket box!
You may also want to look on sites like Groupon, Living
Social, etc to view limited deals. I know for a fact that they have various
deals for fitness and dance classes, so you could try out one of those. If you
don’t like the activity, then you are out a few bucks instead of lots of money.
My friend and I actually took advantage of a strip-aerobics class deal as part
of a bachelorette party. The class only cost us $5.00 a piece and we really got
a workout (and a new respect for how hard strippers work)!
Whatever you do, have fun! Get creative and beware idle
hands :)
