Buffering


I am working on allowing urges as I tend to overeat when I feel bored. On days I don’t have much to do, I find myself constantly having to allow boredom which becomes a struggle for me. My morning went well because I had tasks to do but then the afternoon came and it was constant boredom. I allow the feelings but then I find myself bored again and especially when I have nothing on my calendar I just turn to food because I know I’ll be bored the rest of the day with my empty schedule. Should I be scheduling other activities to fill that time or is that just more buffering? I am confused on that and how long it should take to allow feeling bored. Sometimes when I reach 15 minutes and I still feel bored. How long should I sit with it? And then what should I do after that? Wouldn’t that be more buffering?
