What are your best go-to stress relievers?

I’ve tried quite a few already— deep breathing, meditation, hot bath, extra sleep, etc. I’m still getting knots in my stomach and tension headaches.
What are your tried and true de-stressing activities?

Well, as you already know, for me it's traipsing off across the river in to the woods, or a brief ride to the shore's edge and a bench with an outlook.
For you my friend, my hope is that you have a close friend you can spend some ftf with.....breakfast/lunch date?
Here where I live, within an hour or so's drive, we have a wild animal place where, wild animals either who have been brought in for rehab, or animals whom for whatever reason cannot be reintroduced in to the wild have a home. I know you love of animals buddy, and maybe a respite....a trip to one of those if you have one not overly far away might be a balm.
