Music or a walk of some sort.
But usually, I like to take a little trip to Palmdale, if you know what I mean *wink* *wink*

And EVE already has an incredibly soothing and relaxed soundtrack. But yes, your example is brilliant as well. I love ME/ME2's soundtrack, both epic and relaxing at the same time.Darkside360 said:
Logging onto the Escapist, and helping users of this site, is how I like to relax.
I get some music playing, then set to work making avatars, or other tasks that I do in the course of a normal day on the Escapist.
It helps me relax, because I can be me. Unlike when I am not on the Escapist.
Somewhat demand characteristics applied to my entire existence, makes it hollow and worthless to live when not on this site.

my relaxer is when i put on the "screensaver" at the beginning of shadow of the colossus. the horse just running... so relaxing for some reason...
I love listening to the rain, ive been trying my hardest though to find a hour long high quality mp3 of rain for ages! Just lay in bed and drift off with it.
Usually music, but a very special kind of music: It can't have words, or else my hyperactive mind will start drawing parallels between the lyrics and whatever I'm trying to get my mind off of. I also must take my glasses off; I get really tranquil without me specs, probably because it makes my body think it's bedtime.
Sometimes when i need to relax i go out for an hour or so driving, preferred around 3 or 4 am, so there isn't any distracting traffic. Radio off, and the comfortable humming of the engine.
And with a previous job, i learned to relax during traffic jams, just keep the licence plate of the car in front of you in sight and no trouble.
And with gaming, it doesnt relax me much, but the economic run in rise of nations is fun to do without violent actions.

Probably being away from my mother would serve as a great way to calm myself. My God I love it when she leaves for some sort of overnight thing.
Then video games, music and DVDs usually help me get calm. Otherwise she's usually there to complain about something.

I love to meditate. I listen to an album I have of nature sounds or I listen to classical music. I tense all the muscles in my body to feel the difference between tension and relaxation. Then I pretend my thoughts and cares are like clouds on the wind slowly drifting away. My mind becomes clear and then I imagine things in detail and depth until I drift in a deep state of relaxation. While I do this I am always breathing very slowly in through my nose and out through my mouth. It's one of my favourite things to do 
This track is amazing for that sort of stuff
Also this
I used to travel to the west coast of Ireland where my grandmother had a holiday house. We would go down to the beach and after messing around I would lie down and listen to the waves. That's why I like listening to the ocean so much when I meditate.

Those two are epic, thank you
As for me, hard techno/trance at loud volumes helps sometimes, but then soothing music like Downstream from Braid.
Weird :S

I play a game that cannot possibly piss me off, unless I try hard to make it piss me off, Runescape . Otherwise I just do what guys do when they think of a hot chick(or guy if your into that).

My trick is I never start stressing. Hell I'm posting this in my pants and finishing off some coursework now. I've got a cuppa tea on the way and biscuits soon there after.
