To relieve stress I autocross. The concentration adrenaline rush from driving at the limits of traction really clears me out. When driving a lap I am "in the zone." So focused on where I want the car to be that I can't see anything else and don't even hear the radio. If you have ever seen the movie "Driven" with Sylvester Stallone, the part where he is whistling is the best description I've seen of driving "in the zone." I am so relaxed and destressed after autocrossing I typically go home and fall asleep for a couple hours.

Before I discovered autocrossing I flew radio controlled airplanes. Was similar concentration related adrenaline rush. Before RC planes I took blood pressure medication.
