I try to go for a walk where I can hear and see birds, look at the trees, etc. and, hopefully, have minimal or no contact with people. I also, on occasion, visit a local nature reserve where I can either walk for as long as I feel is needed or just sit in a natural environment. Gardening (fruit and vegetable gardening) also helps although this year has not been as helpful as previous years due to the poor weather and, lately, the very hot days.
Walking definitely helps. Recently I got a new job but I had a lot of stress because they've given me some written assignments which seem unsurmountable to me, they might as well have asked me to climb Everest... after a long walk I was able to calm down and put things into perspective and calm down enough to actually begin the task.
