What do you do when you get bored?

As I am sitting here this morning, and getting bored, I just thought I should go for a little walk or a longer bike ride (Which I have been doing for a couple of weeks now, when I get bored.). Once in a while, I'll play the wii fit as well. The me from a couple of months ago would've just went into the kitchen to grab some food and "feed" my boredom, or just go "Eh, I'll see if somethime more interesting on t.v.". What are some things or strategies you have used to help combat boredome in a possitive way?

    This is a good one! The old me wouldve done the same as you.... ate and watched tv. The new me finds things to do around the house.... clean, cook for the week, work on projects, walk with the kiddos, etc. Try to do anything but shove food in my face!

    I will still flip through the channels on TV, but I won't eat anything like i used to.

    If nothing is on TV I will go outside and play basketball. On the occasion it's storming or snowing I might talk myself into cleaning.

    I start a new hobby. When Winter hit, I decided to try quilting. A bit after that, I started a weight training program. This February I signed up for a 10 k race on May 26 that I now am obligated to train for with any spare time I have.

    I've decided that if I'm 'bored' it's because I've become boring. ahhaha. So, I try to inspire myself!
