Do you play bass? Playing bass is always a great way to get your mind of something. Seriously, pick up a bass and try your luck at sweeping or doing complex bends on it sometime. It'll keep you busy for a while, unless you already have strong hands. If you don't you'll have hands like Ahnuld Swarzenfrickenspellinger in no time :)
