Most of the time I lay in bed, watch TV, and browse the web. Soemtimes I nap and other times I do something like crochet. Oh, and I do mean nap and not "nap" though that could be a great stress reliever too. :D
hot bath. followed by a mixed drink of great strength(i prefer b-52s). then, providing there is someone available, sex. lots of it. but only noisy and messy sex does it. that is the sequence that makes for the perfect destressing.
Severl ways depending on the type and cause of stress 1. Go out with friends. Either discuss the problem or just have fun and try not to think about it. 2. (and my most common) Good food, my latest yarn project and TV. Law & Order or a campy stuped movie like Charlie's Angels 3. Sometime nothing short of a long hot bath, good book, glass of wine and Madonna's Bedroom Cd will do the trick. 4. Lately I've been getting into Sudoku.
My favorite way to relax is to curl up with a good book or to take a relaxing bath with Bath and Body Works Eucalyptus & Spearmint Stress Relief bath stuff.
Hmmm...lots of answers, it depends on my mood at the time as to which works.
Cooking, having a drink outside of work and home-often coffee is just as good, have sex, take a nap, masturbate, hot smelly-good bath,read fiction, get a massage,ask Stef to put lotion on me (it's like a massage when i can't have one),watch tv, listen to music...that's off the top of my head...and you?
When I was in college I lived in turn-of-the-century dorms with huge, and I mean huge, bathtubs, as in I could stretch out completely and fill the water over my head in those suckers. And unlimited hot water.
When things got really stressful, I would lie down in the tub, close the drain, turn on the shower, and lie there until the shower had completely filled the tub and I was submerged, still with the shower beating down on the water. Then I'd let out the drain and lie there as the tub slowly emptied. Sometimes I'd do a complete second cycle.
These days? Hot bath, good book. Or a walk in the park.

I'm such a nerd. I'll shut the fuck up about diving eventually. Until then, I'm here to annoy the crap out of all my friends about it.

Dancing is my preference, but any aerobic exercise generally makes me feel much better.

A particularly bad day means at the end I need to be tied down and flogged.
