I try to learn something new.

There's only so much time you can spend processing and healing.. sometimes you need the reprieve of distractions.

Not only are you engrossed in an activity, but you feel a sense of accomplishment in the process.

For example:

Taking an evening course with a hands-on or creative outlet
Becoming a fan of a local team for a sport you don't know a lot about
take a new style of dance/boxing/yoga/etc. class
Be a tourist in your own city and take "sightseeing" tours offered by local tour guides, etc.
