I don't really get stressed out but there are a few things that relax me:
1) Archery. While I have no desire to kill any living creature I just find the sound of the bow plucking soothing and comforting.
2) Rain. Just staring out at the rain causes my mind to ease.
3)Video games. Because they're awesome.

Usually Prototype and God of War 3 with all the cheats on calm me down, nothing like mercilessly annihilating everything into a bloody mess on the floor.
Blast some music (preferably heavy) then play some TF2 and kill everyone that isn't the same color as me (rasist?).
I screw around with stuff I've done using music loops in Mixcraft. A step down from actually recording music, it relaxes me, and gives me good mixing experience with different genres I wouldn't otherwise have to interact with. I'm not a recording engineer, but I play in a band, and we record our stuff mostly on our own, so it's good to at least know the basics when mixing times come up.
Hell, I'm actually doing this right now.

Run around in a fun Sonic game. Sonic Adventure 2 (and lately, Sonic Colors) have been pretty good for me in that regard.
Usually music, sometimes reading. I like games, but overall I don't find things that relax me in games... oddly enough.
I find myself getting pissed off a lot, and music really helps me. The funny videos on this website help too, thanks, Escapist.

Usually sleep, though sometimes I play minecraft, For some reason while Im playing it the rest of the world sort of melts away lol
Drinking copious am mounts of alcohol, listening to loud music, working out or beating a punching bag. Im not a very relaxed person though. I don't mind it all that much though.
i smoke a big joint , listen to some deadmau5 and just sit back
or listen to opeth while cuddling with my girlfriend , both work
(sometimes i go smoke pot with friends and listen to awesome music, that is also claming)

Unabated destruction, ether in a game or in real life is very satisfying. If I can, crushing boxes at work, stabbing a pile of cardboard with my favorite knife, or putting another dent in my well used punching bag are my favorites, but if Im out of cardboard and Im tired, I will pop in a good FPS and go for the melee kills, or slam in a sandbox and blow up a city block. He he he?
But if my Xbox is on the fritz, and I have time, I will meditate on the concept of life and how to improve it for those around me. (I try and think of ways to do good) or I don?t have the time for that or to game, a good song and a long walk (usually to my destination) will do it.

A hidden blade in some guys neck in Assassin's Creed has a very calming effect on me. Also, watching Corner Gas soothes my ruffles.
