Learning. Pick a subject --anything-- and teach yourself.

I like punching people in the face. Can't think of any other way to blow some steam off. You should try it!

I'm a knitting and cooking addict.

I make shoes. Leather with Vibram soles and everything. Sandals, too.

Do you like crafty stuff? How about embroidery? You can do fun home things and gifts when you end up with tons of stuff. There are some great sites out there with good patterns. My mom used to do that because it required concentration, but little movement. She said it passed the time well when she was in bed a lot. I got into it over the past year or so and made a ton of tea towels, embroidered on aprons, and made napkins for holiday gifts.

Do you like reading? When I'm sick or injured that's my absolute favorite past time. I don't know what kind of books you like, but I really enjoy things that suck me in for hundreds of pages at a time. I'm about to reread Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian," which is a nice long book about the historical/mythical Dracula. (I highly recommend if you enjoy that type of story.)

I've been reading and watching a lot of things around Anthropology. It's been connecting some dots between humans from 10,000 years ago and today...it's a more complete look at Paleo for me and really understanding what are actual "old world foods".

Did I mention it's free?

Truth.

Knitting and/or crocheting seem to be all the rage.

I took up beading a few winters ago. Beading is popular here in Alaska. I have friends who make some of the beads I have used. My wife likes making greeting cards. Where we are located, the long winter requires some hobby to keep cabin fever away.

Most places have a JoAnne's or Michael's or other hobby/craft store. Perusing the aisles might lead to something too.

Cooking takes up a lot of time! And theres always a delicious ending to it. (hopefully)

Learning German, painting, writing, checkers, learning chess, hiking, cooking, making ridiculous puff-paint shirts.

Learning a language is a daunting hobby that I believe would reap SO many benefits...something I have tried, and hope to do so more in the future.

The power to draw is hopefully within all of us; I LOVE drawing scenes that I find pictures of. I don't do it too often, but... (http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/417706_10150681141760477_872518783_n.jpg and http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/424001_10150681142895477_1400822703_n.jpg are some uh...pitiful examples I have on my facebook).

We all love to cook, I would hope. I just made a huge cheat today and made a batch of cookies, which was the worst idea ever...but it was fun?

www.groupon.com, perhaps? That could shed some light on some fun stuff.

Books pass time very well, as do video games.

If you own your own place, why not visiting local stores or the mall to get some niche decorations?

pinterest? Aside from spending hours on the site ogling pretty pictures, you can find links and suggestions for hobbies and crafts, like cooking (you can find great paleo stuff!), sewing, gardening, canning, crafting, art, literature, photography, and commenting on being appalled that the internet would contain things that offend you :)

Learn to program. There are tons of online websites offering free courses on C++, Java, and more. It's challenging yet useful.

What about making homemade natural cosmetics and give it to your family and friends as nice treats...You could start with bath products for instance, they are very easy to make. Bath salts, bath bombs and body scrubs are the easiest ones. You can play with essential oils and dry flowers to add into your "spa" products, you can make your own labels, it´s fun. Moreover, if you give your own products to your family and friends, they´ll also appreciate the products are natural, made with love and care from you. And since you are fighting with your illness, you should stop using the main-stream cosmetics full of synthetic preservatives, colorants...So your own products will be also welcomed by your body, you know what is in the products.

Can't believe noone said Growing food! Not only is it therapeutic, it's great for the pocketbook and your diet.

Gardening…cheaper than a therapist and can be done inside and out. Good at calming the mind and body!

Masturbation and golf.*

*I don't really play golf.

You can learn all sorts of stuff online (legitimate, educationally-verified stuff from universities) - ever looked at iTunes U? They have complete courses in various subjects.

How about photography? It gets you out and about for exercise in the fresh air and sun (but other weathers shouldn't be ignored for great photographs) and there's a never-ending supply of things to capture, people, pets, wildlife, water, mountains, technology, sport,... Even the same things from the same place look different at different times of year.

Is there a local drama group/theatre nearby? You don't have to go onstage, there's lots of things need doing in the background - building/painting sets, lighting, sound, prompting, selling tea/coffee/alcohol, selling programmes/raffle tickets, costumes...

Be a volunteer. How about helping at Scouts, Guides etc. (or whatever you have where you are) - you don't have to be a leader and you'll have plenty to do (trust me on this one!)

LEARN something. Find some interesting podcasts, put one on and go take a long walk!

Reading, sports, simulation sports, writing.

I'm a painter- it's what our ancestors did when they had spare time! Reading is my other favorite hobby- all those Game of Thrones books are waiting for you.

I love to listen to music and draw with pens to relax. I often find that letting myself be inspired by music and drawing repetitive patterns with pens to be very soothing. I then color these with colored pencil, another relaxing activity.

That being said, I am in college for studio art, so I WOULD find that fun :P

Learning an instrument. Ukelele's are popular now, cheap, and easy to learn.

I write electronic music. You dont need any formal training, just a fair bit of practise, and the odd online tutorial. You can write in lots of different styles, from new age, to dance music, rock and hip-hop, whatever your thing is. And even if you dont know what your doing, its fun to it keys and make sounds. Fruity loops is easy enough to use.

I also like growing things/gardening. Especially when its a useful herb, pretty flower or food. Its very relaxing.

I kayak when the weather is nice, very relaxing, and you can find classes/rentals near popular bodies of water. Art classes, though I go to art school, but that can take up some good time. If you like to travel, learn a language associated with that country. Spanish is useful even in the US. Movies, TV, reading.

Hobbies I've taken up over the past 3-4 years are playing the ukulele, kayaking, photography and running. All very addictive!
