I like to go target shooting weekly at the pistol range and I find that relieves my stress. To be successful you have to block out all of the other voices/thoughts, ignore distractions of other shooters and concentrate of breathing, site alignment and trigger control. It's not as easy as it looks. In many ways it's like golf - you're constantly trying to improve your previous score.
Sorry about the pity party - November is gratitude month so I will start on my list early.
