Personally I try to use some sort of destruction method, I find the colouring books made for adults are exellent method. It works for me anyway but we are all different and use what helps us.

I go into another room and get the guitar out. In minutes I'm lost in music of some sort. It doesn't have to be brilliant - just the act of playing. Take up an instrument?

Stress tightens muscles in various ways. So working on various forms of gentle movement can help reduce the feelings of stress.

I also play Freecell on my computer. This helps clear my head.
