    Listening to relaxing music, and doing deep breathing exercises as well as yoga, and a couple of miles on my treadmill.

    Listening to music or drawing. Depending on how worked up I am reading can help calm me and take my mind off things. Honestly a stiff drink works the best.

      5 seconds in, 5 seconds out for 10 minutes is extremely effective and can also re-sync the body.

          There's this other practice that I got into a while back. It's called Zhan Zhuang. It's a type of standing meditation that's employed by martial artists. It forges new neural pathways that will allow you to generate full body strength and it also opens up all the meridians in the body to allow chi to flow through. It's a really powerful exercise. Extremely relaxing. Check it out. Make sure to do it correctly though, or there could be unintended consequences.

    I don't believe there's anything that does that 100%, except maybe a strong sedative.

    I do mindfulness meditation: even a few minutes of focussing on my breathing is calming, also certain music, not always but often combined with a special cookie
