Exercise always helps. A lot. A long bike ride, a long run.. getting outdoors and out of my head for a while helps immensely.
Also, staring at the sky or watching the water in a river or the creek. Nothing really gives me perspective quite like that. Watching the clouds slowly move across the sky is calming and really gets me thinking about the bigger picture, rather than whatever was bugging me.
