Climbing
Climbing is a great way to relax. This may seem counter-intuitive as many would consider putting yourself in a dangerous situation to be quite stressful, but its not, it forces you to focus on only your immediate surroundings and actions, and in doing so you put everything else in your life to one side and forget about anything that might have been worrying you.
