Since I haven't seen it in the other suggestions I'm going to throw my more psychological/philosophical answer into the pile.
"Distract yourself and find an even bigger, nearly intractable, problem to solve."
I can't tell you what that is, it's not that kind of suggestion. But think of the metaphorical image of Christ carrying his cross (just the image, not the rest of the cultural baggage). Something like that, huge and barely manageable, something no one else can do, something that leaves you exhausted at the end of the every day, but proud and satisfied.
