First off I take a break from technology. Put my phone in my purse or another room, turn off the tv and shut down the computer.
I do put my phone in my pocket if I'm taking a walk or working in the flower bed. And I do use the computer if I'm doing a YouTube exercise or yoga video.
Sometimes I put on instrumental music. I can listen to it while I crochet, work on a puzzle or paint. Doing things with my hands such as crocheting or painting really relaxes me. 
(current puzzle I'm working on. There must be 100 pieces of just the bear, and it is hard)
I forget about my stress and concentrate on what I'm doing. Those are my three best go to relaxers.
(took some watercolor classes over the holidays)
Now I practice the tecniques at home.
Outside I enjoy going for a walk and getting some fresh air along with exercise that I do 3-4 times a week and I try to be in the moment. Watching as squirrles scurry across the sidewalk and up a tree, listen to the birds singing, and stopping and sitting on a bench to just listen to the wind in the trees.
I'm a much happier and relaxed person when I include some of these things in my daily routine.
What is your go to relaxer?
