Do you always have food on your brain? Is reaching for a snack your go-to move when bored? If you aren't actually hungry you can try distracting your mind with these tips below. This should help the thoughts of food or cravings fall by the wayside.

1.Drink a glass of water

Yes I know I sound like a broken record, but many times we think we are hungry when we are actually just thirsty. Have a glass and wait 20 minutes and then check in with yourself again.

2.Journal

This may sound silly or annoying, but writing out how you are feeling will not only distract you from your hunger, but will also help pinpoint perhaps what triggered that feeling.

3.Walk, Run, Stretch

Movement will not only distract you, but will also burn calories!

4.Take a break

Whatever you are doing...stop. Switch tasks. You are just bored and it's most likely causing these thoughts of hunger.

5.Read something interesting

I keep a list of quotes on my phone that I am constantly adding to. Quotes that inspire. I also keep a list of things that bring me joy. Perhaps this will help, or google stupid dad jokes. I promise the distraction will help with the hunger and will bring a smile to your face.

Here's a quote to start you off...

There are only two ways to live your life, as if nothing is a miracle or as if everything is. - Albert Einstein
