I have the good fortune of working in an office, with easy access to never-ending physical labour options courtesy of relatives living in the countryside.
Every now and then the issues of IT projects make me say "screw it all, I'm going to be a lumberjack". And then I go work the chainsaw for a weekend, and come back thankful for the office chair in a climate controlled room.
Working with your hands is great meditation in small doses, but brutal when you need to do it enough to make a living.
