37 Ways To Distract Your Mind

Awhile back I wrote a post called the time is now. This post was about my struggle to maintain motivation to lose weight. One of the things that I wanted to do was to create a list of the things I could do instead of impulsively making desserts to feed a craving. 

If you’re reading this, then that means I did make that list and I want to share it with you. 

1. Dance
2. Clean
3. Get rid of unused items
4. Go outside
5. Karaoke/sing
6. Do a puzzle
7. Paint
8. Write
9. Take a bath
10. Legos
11. Bathe the dog
12. Dust
13. Wash bedding
14. Watch a movie
15. Count to 100
16. Take a nap
17. Organize cabinets
18. Clean appliances
19. Talk to a friend or relative
20. Crochet
21. Draw
22. Color pictures
23. Have a pillow fight with the kids
24. Build a fort
25. Read
26. Watch how to videos on YouTube
27. Write a to do list
28. Make goals
29. Redecorate with what you have already
30. Create a holiday craft
31. Do a science experiment with the kids
32. Play keyboard
33. Paint nails
34. Organize files 
35. Play pretend
36. Drink water

I am sure there are plenty of more things to think of, but for now these will suffice. 

How do you maintain motivation? What is in your list that wasn’t on mine?
