So, I think walking is one of the easiest and most universal answers, and I agree. But also, may I suggest live music. Even if it's not amazing or not something you'd otherwise choose to listen to. Just something about hearing it live, feeling the thump of the drums and the reverb of the bass in your chest, makes the world all right again for the length of the song. (Wear appropriate hearing protection, kids. Tinnitus is no joke.)

Along with several other suggestions here (full night's rest, sitting in my yard/porch, smoking), I'd also add taking a long, hot bath with either bath salts or bubbles. Wonderful way to melt away even the worst of days.
Planning my evening and getting to bed at a decent time, letting myself sleep all night, does a lot. Especially after taking a shower.
Prayer, typically on my front porch, with a cup of coffee. Biking has also become a big thing for me. I don't live near the sea but have lots of lakes nearby, so sitting on a beach also.
I really enjoy spending time alone to recharge. I make espresso, watch YouTube, play video games, listen to music. Just whatever grabs my fancy. I’m a single dad so that doesn’t happen very often tbh, but also why it helps bring my back to my middle.
