I meditate daily. That's a huge one, as the mere routine of it also helps my daily grind, in addition to the raw benefits of meditation itself.

If it's been a particularly exhausting day, I'll take a nap afterwards. Every time I lay down in my bed when my wife isn't in there, my cat Malachi will come up and lay right next to me for free belly rubs. Taking a nap with and watching my cat puts me at ease. Here is this little tiny cute thing that doesn't have to work, doesn't have relationship troubles, or fight, or get into arguments, or get cut off in traffic by inattentive drivers, or have any responsibilities. He has ZERO stress in his life, and he exudes that with his carefree nature. Just taking a nap with a cat brings me down and helps me get rid of my problems and troubles vicariously.

Oh, and yeah, sometimes I like to kill a bottle of red wine and just read a book or play guitar. Red wine can be substituted for craft beer, or a few stiff shots if I don't have to work the following day. Mixing alcohol and a game of darts with my best friend is also acceptable and happens quite a bit. I love playing darts.
