Idle time/negative thoughts

[sevenroses]

Do you guys purposely try to occupy yourselves with activities in order counteract the negative emotions you would sometimes feel during idle time? I find that weekends or days off tend to suck sometime because too much idle time. Sometimes it helps just having an eventful day or just doing errands, etc.

Whenever I complain about my negative thoughts everybody tells me to start practising a sport (in my case that would be the most likely swimming).I do think it's a good idea: it is said practising a sport helps you to interact better with other people and due to the physical effort it relieves your mind of all those negative thoughts.
