How about artwork? Writing, meditating or appreciating nature? From your profile, it sounds like artwork might help you get centered and wind down...

I grab a bottle of Sparkling Apple Cider, drink it from the bottle like a pro. Then I will pop in some music and read or I will watch one of my favorite tv shows, especially one that is funny.

thanks guys. i usually try not to be too much of a leech but i swear i'm all discombobulated at the drop of a hat lately. cool MichES think i might even have apple cider hehe.

I read if my mind will let me concentrate. If not, I watch tv. I would love to take up a hobby like knitting, needle point or (hell, I knew the other one, just left my mind). Painting I think was one of them.

When I get anxious, there is not much I can do but just sit there like a pot who about to blow. I try my calming exercises, breathe in breathe out. Take myself to my favorite place where it is calm and breathe. (My place is the beach). I hope you find something that you enjoy doing.

Good, loud, kick @ss rock and roll music often does it for me. Likewise for some classical music that is very busy!

Other times it is calm music.
