Hear No Evil

“You try but sometimes food temptations just seem to call to you. Here's how to hear no evil.”

You're in the living room just minding your own business when you hear the cookie jar's lid rattle. A small voice calls to you. It's sweet and inviting and you know you will be lured in by its seductive ways. Time to get up. No, not to go in there, but to do something, anything, that will distract you. Do some jumping jacks while reciting a favorite poem, run up and down the steps ten times while compiling your to-do list, flip on some music and dance around. After your little distraction, you may feel more like continuing with an activity and forget all about listening to evil chatter.
