Laughing and finding humor in simple things....
Learning some new things about a topic of interest for me...
Tending plants....watching wildlife...
 
I sculpt! Sometimes paint but mostly sculpt! I still have my collection of old rock and roll 45's and when I play them, I'm in another world! Not much culture where I live but if there is an old car show, I'm there. Take a hot bath, play with my dog; whatever makes me happy!
 
Getting out in nature, watching wildlife and birds. Long walks with my dog. I like massage but can count the number of them I've had in my life on one hand, too expensive for me. Music, and close encounters of the human kind for me too. :)
 
Puttering around outdoors....yard work, gardening, etc. Just getting out of the house and enjoying the fresh air and the forest for an hour or two relaxes me.
 
Music and playing with my dog and a hot bubble bath and drawing. I haven't done it in several years but it was the most relaxing thing I've ever found and I'm talking about drawing.
 
For severe stress, the most relaxing thing I've ever found is acupuncture.

For just ordinary stuff, hanging out with my dog and petting or snuggling with him or walking with him is very relaxing. We also have long conversations, though I do most of the talking. He's cheaper than a shrink; he happily works for rawhide treats, and he's always very sympathetic.
