I know it can be difficult to sit around and do nothing all the time; especially if you are a person who is used to being on the go all the time.

For me, I have found that sitting outdoors helps to relieve a bit of the boredom of doing nothing. I am lucky to have a great backyard with lots of trees and greenery, so I find it relaxing to sit just outside on the patio. It also makes me feel like I did "something" besides lay in bed in my room all day.

I have also found that listening to relaxing music can be de-stressing. There are quite a few healing/relaxation/meditation music radio stations online and I have found that listening to them is a way to take my mind off of things.

Hope that helps.
