For me I read..usually motivational material and meditate. Prayer helps too.

I like to take my Golden Retriever for a walk to Starbucks. Then we sit out front, he with his Grande Water and me with an iced Vente Latte followed by a leisurely stroll back home.
Damn dog though, he's a chick magnet!

Hmmm, well, I just put a 2-4 in the fridge and bought some steaks from the farmers market. Going to just sit back, have some beer, cook up those steaks and kick back for the next few weeks... but even doing that just on a day after coming back from a long day is great to relax too!

A bottle of Napa's finest, 2 glasses (I hate to drink alone), a little music (Jazz, Classical or some 70's) and chill in the garden with some hors d’oeuvres. Man that sound good right now!!!!

The list is extensive - does that mean that I'm mega-stressed and up-tight, or ultra-laid back and mellow.
Ride my bike - sometimes short distances, sometimes just point it at the horizon and go, take a sleeping bag and get really lost and sleep under the stars (not so good in typical English weather)
Run
Beat up on the punch bag until I can't stand without wobbling
Walk the dog, but he's a lazy lump so we never get far
Tidy up the garage - there's something about a well cared for tool
Listen to loud music (often while doing any of the above)
Read books
Drink whisky
Watch old Red Dwarf episodes

Working 3rd shift and from home.....I live in an almost constant state of relaxation and rarely have to unwind.
I usually have to plan exciting things and get out and walk daily or I'd snap from being so unwound.
Fishing pretty exciting but relaxing at the same time.
I usually go fishing a few times a month (even though I rarely catch anything except a beer buzz) -

Camping is great... the bare essentials in the middle of nowhere and total peace!! I love it.
(the booze is a given!)
