Pick up a physical activity. I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and I liken it to learning how to program. It's got a huge learning curve and you can go months/years feeling like you've learned nothing, but eventually something clicks and you become proficient at certain aspects, all while being clueless around people that are much better/more experienced than you. While it's a combat sport, I liken to think of it as "playfighting for adults". It's also great to get out of the house/office for a while and to socialise with people outside of your immediate friend/career circle. On the mat your ultimate currency is nothing to do with race, gender, career, or earning potential - all that matters is skill, and that's a great thing. Finally, for a sport that can be rough, I find it does wonders for my back and hands. Sometimes I feel rough after 8+ hours of typing in a chair, and BJJ seems to make my hands/shoulders/back feel much better.
