Below are 3 ways to relax:

Meditating
It’s not as new-age as it sounds. No moonstones and patchouli oil required. In fact it’s really easy and effective.
It’s basically awareness; listening to your own breathing, looking at a view, or it can be whatever you like as long as you clear your mind of other thoughts and cares. You may find it helpful to repeat a mantra at the same time to make focus easier.
If you want something less free-form there are various types of meditation that you can learn from, Transcendental Meditation to Heart Rhythm Meditation. All have a different slant on awareness and relaxation.

Exercising
This is the best-known, scientifically-proven way to significantly reduce stress. You’ll be amazed at how much easier it is to overcome stress if you exercise regularly. Here are some ideas to try:

• Aim for at least thirty minutes per day of moderate activity.
• Walk in the park, in the woods, or on a treadmill.
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Park a little further away from the entrance of a store.
• Ride a bike.
• Go swimming. Try your local pool, a nearby lake or a friend or relative’s home. You do not have to be an excellent swimmer; just the idea of being in water could be relaxing enough.
• Stretch. Lower your shoulders to help relax. Be more consciously aware of the tension that is quick to accumulate in your shoulders and neck region. Source: wikiHow

Pampering
Get a spa treatment like a massage or pedicure. Or draw yourself a bubble bath with aromatic oils. If you have trouble disconnecting from your stress in these situations, close your eyes and imagine a place (a beach, a forest, etc.) that makes you calm. Source: Dummies
