Listen to one of the soundtracks that resonate with my feels then think about how amazing the people in the games are.

I usually watch anime and manga that give me a nice feeling and sense of ease (Iyashikei was the term for this kind of media, IIRC). Examples would be Morita-san wa Mukuchi, Haibane-Renmei, Chatting at the Amber Teahouse, and Sora no Woto.

Play some Counter-Strike: Source and eat junk food, although I don't really need a reason to do that. Shooting people in the face while eating Oreos always makes me feel better.

Start up ArmA2 and go on a rampage. If that's not enough, start a rampage in Counter Strike Source and for every team victory spray paint Shizune's face on the wall.

Frankly, I start up an FPS game where I could convert those FEELs into a good dose of RAGE.

I go for a Manly Picnic on the roof and drink Whiskey.

Seriously? I spend time with my dog. She is super-relaxing.

Doesn't matter in my case, because only time really helps. I just let a week or two pass somehow.
Other than that, maybe Emi inspired workout. Doing sport until exhaustion is somewhat calming, but not enough.

I write about it. I copy parts of the dialogue I've specially liked, and write into a personal diary of sorts the way I feel it relates with me, or any other ideas on my life, projects, relationship, friendship, etc, that I seem to be questioning at the time. This helps me organize my thoughts and proceed on questioning and knowing myself deeper.

Something that distracts me. Play games, drink booze, annoy the mrs.

Should really remember to go on motorcycle rides too, great for head clearage.

I have 5 college classes that help take my mind off things.

Sometimes I just sit and stare at the monitor for a little bit, soaking it all in.
Then go for a run, write some fanfics, listen to music (bagpipes optional), and in general, enjoy life and appreciate what I have.

Odd question since I usually come to games like this to relax from a day of work.

Read Dune, and enjoy the cold, masterfully done narration of Frank Herbert, letting all emotions be drained by his carefully picked words and the shrewd manipulations and gambits of the amazing factions he crafted. For a few minutes afterwards I am entirely unable to feel anything. It feels like my mind is washed clean.

That or an hour of Amnesia : The Dark descent.

i commit Hara-kiri

THIS.

Also exercise helps, too.

Spice (and feels) must flow.
