Take a class to overcome your weaknesses as an actor
Look for a day job that you may actually like
Participate in non-show business activities, such as sports, volunteering at a hospital or charity, or enjoying a hobby
Work off some steam — take a karate, boxing, or aerobic workout class
Start or join a support group with fellow actors
See a movie, go to a play, or read a good book
Read a positive-thinking book or listen to motivational tapes
Browse through one of the trade publications such as Variety or Hollywood Reporter
Pursue an additional show business career (writing, stand-up comedy, filmmaking, and so on)
Take a vacation (It can be as simple as a one day trip to the beach or a two week trip to Europe.)
