I find that simple meditation techniques are the best and most relaxing way to relieve tension and anxiety. I suffer from both - especially anxiety - and could not cope without it.
I have been taught Buddhist meditation techniques, but there are a few popular ones out there. The important thing is to go to a few classes as you would with anything you want to learn properly.
Hopefully, this will wind down your anxiety by several notches.
