Meditation is going to be the closest comparison to what you used to do. I suggest meditating.

Hiking, biking, podcasts, music, mindless games, sex/masturbation, cooking elaborate things and eating tehm after. Really hard days at gym, series/movies with popcorn... Depends on the source or stress

Smoke a lot of weed!

YouTube debates with flat earthers!!!

I meditate, journal, have a cup of tea, play mindless video games, read, write stories...

You had faith in God. It's time to put faith in people and government and assume that most will do the right thing, from teachers, to politicians, to everyday people. And that those who don't will be caught by practices and protocols set in place.

Weed and then writing.

Take out the source of stress - it just makes life not worth living, so why try to live with it.

Praying is basicly talking to yourself, if that gave you comfort before, talk to yourself, out loud if you have to. If it was th fantasy that was so attractive, close your eyes and let your mind wander, visualize what you will and work with it. The answers were always within you. reach out to others.

I take a long bike ride.

Games, gardening, wine and chat with a friend (or friends).

Take my dog for a long walk by the bay

Draw. Go for a walk. Play video games. Drink. Get a massage.

It is thought that certain types of music works well. I lie down as if to meditate and listen to classical adagios such as baroque, Tchaikovsky and Chopin.

I play drums.

Sometimes, I must remind myself that I need wait it out. As there is not always anything that can be done. I also do the other things that you mentioned.

Ripping out weeds in my gardens is great during spring and autumn, winter= grabbing the axe, the steel wedges, the 10lb sledge hammer and the chainsaw (if needed) and splitting wood for the wood heater, it gets the blood flowing, the temperature up and I often imagine the face, etc, of some annoying person, problem, etc, being on the piece of wood.
As for the accursed Telemarketers/Survey Pollsters ringing my landline, well, answering and speaking in either German, Latin or some meaningless drivel language I've invented at the time usually annoys them and release my stress.

a nice indica and a good song usually.

Religion is stress....hell threats and heaven bribes induce fear and impossible goals....our Atheism is a return to our Feminist birthright....jobs and city life commuter traffic and fake news all raise stress levels BUT being calm is identifying each stressor and seeking refuge in your safest spaces....bubble baths sweet music having a tender lover comfort food swimming bicycling gardening or keeping fresh flowers in your home are lifestyle patterns of stress ELIMINATION rather than diversions from unidentified stressors

You are on one track - see my link below.

It could be Music or a movie. Or maybe a long Walk somewhere . It depends , sometimes a talk with a friend

I go out and take pictures, flowers, plants, mountains, animals.

I analyze my thoughts and determine if I’ve been thinking untrue things ala Dr Maxie Maultsby. That is usually the case when I am stressed. The stress could also come from being in danger. In that case I try to go with gut feelings.

I make bread by hand. The process of kneading the dough allows me to decompress.
