To join in with an earlier statement, this is kind of like after-schooling for adults. Learn, grow, keep busy, while not relying solely on work/school to meet all your needs and still acknowledging that work/school is necessary at this time for you. Isn't this why we sign the kiddos up for computer camp, math camp, and music lessons etc.?
These are my thoughts too.
I have heard, to battle these situations, an exercise in humility is the remedy.
We have been doing this in our family. It is very powerful.
Volunteer work is an amazing tool to helping us focus.
For us its the local shelter or Second Helping Food Kitchen.
