What can I learn from my dog about snacking when I'm bored?

When I'm bored, I'll usually plop myself in front of some mindless television show, and start snacking on anything and everything. I don't really pay attention to what I'm eating; it's more of a way to keep hands and mouth busy. This behavior is completely the opposite of what a dog does when he's bored.

Every now and then, I'm too wrapped up in work and my dog spends much of the day just lying around. He clearly looks bored and jumps up excitedly whenever I get up for a drink or trip to the bathroom. He also wanders over to his food dish, sniffs the leftovers from breakfast, and passes them by.

When he's bored, his solution is usually to go outside and dig a hole or find some other entertainment, like catching rain drops or chasing butterflies. Model your response to boredom after your dog. Don't munch.

Get active. So when you're bored, don't look to the kitchen. Look for a physical activity - go for a walk, play ball with your dog, do some jumping jacks, or take a shower.

The physical exertion will act as a stress reliever for your mind and put you in a better frame of mind to have a positive attitude to find something interesting or entertaining.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
