Maybe try out a new kind of gambling? A new poker game, sports betting or casino whoring can all be fun.

1) Play live for a while.
2) Keep the hundreds in a box.
3) At the end of the month, roll in it!
4) Travel to a India and watch someone dig through a garbage dump looking for scraps to sell and live on for less than a dollar a day. See what you are taking for granted back home.

I recommend Iraq. I heard the US government offers free airfare.

I agree with this. When things seem overbearing for me, I take 2 or 3 weeks off. I probably do this once every 4 or 5 months. Sure this decreases my earn but it helps my sanity. And when you get back you feel fresh and you're ready to gogogo.
