Personally, playing video games and listening to music very loudly. I'm a big gamer and an audiophile so both of these are great releases for myself, plus listening to music loudly has been proven to reduce stress in some males. I am definitely not exempt from this list.
Today's youngsters relax exactly like you, including my boys. Thanks Jtech, for giving your opinion.

Reading. I go the the library, browse the stacks, come home with an armload of books, and read.

When I need to relax, I meditate, even if it's just for a short time. It works great!
Meditation does help a lot, if done effectively. Thanks for your response.
My favorite ways to relax are to do yoga, read or have a nice hot bath.
Nice ways to relax, thanks for answering, daisyjae.
My favorite method of relaxation is to actually play old timers ice hockey. The game replaces any worries and I become immersed in an environment where I can externalize (psychologically) by slapping the puck, hitting the goalie and missing the goalie; thus, scoring...
Thanks connorj, for replying. Playing ice hockey...how exciting!
Lying down on an open air field and glazing through the sky.
It helps to clear my mind and soul. That's most relaxing for me.
Wow! That's a wonderful way to relax. Thanks edhan, for taking the time to answer.
I do not feel a need to relax. I only feel a need to motivate. Poor folks who are the other way around. But then I hike in nature, meditate and pray for hours each day.
Thanks Ericdierker, for responding to the question. Nature, prayers, meditation are great ways to relax and motivate oneself.
Escaping into nature. No matter how hectic life is, after a few hours in the calm, tranquil wilderness, I always feel relaxed and peaceful.
