I've found that finding a hobby, or a craft of some sort is extremely relaxing. For example I have taken up knitting as a way of relaxing and just "being". It helps take focus off of the stressors, atleast temporarily. It's therapeutic in a way. Also, listening to music, reading a book, going for a hike...I could go on with a huge list but I'm sure you get the idea. Finding things you enjoy is probably one of the best ways to destress, atleast for a short period of time. Its an escape in a way.
