What is your favorite way to relieve stress?

Sometimes, I punch inanimate objects that I can't possibly damage.  I used to punch things I could damage - which was satisfying - but then I had all this damaged stuff.  On the other hand, punching things I can't damage mostly just damages me.  I've never punched people or animals.  Well, at least not in anger and not very hard and definitely not in the face.  Lately, I squish things, like little stress balls.  Of course, if I've been punching things, it's a little painful to squish things.  I also take a lot of deep breaths and do meditative things.  Video games are sometimes good, but sometimes just piss me off more.  I've been known to drink a bit while under stress, but I'm trying to not do that so much anymore.  The other thing I've been trying to do is just avoid stress in the first place, but that's not always practical.
