Exercising is a great way to deal with chronic stress. It may sound strange but when it comes to stress physical activity not only gets your body in shape, it also helps your mind. It provides you with a feeling of calmness and well being. Aerobic exercise is also a good stress buster: it requires deep breathing, which can also help when you feel upset or tense. One thing though, don't think you have to add a huge exercise in your schedule.
Yoga and meditation is also a good way to relax. It helps you become more flexible and teaches you how to relax at the same time. If yoga isn't your thing martial arts can replace it. Martial art also teaches you how to focus your mind and relieve stress. Simple stretches can also do.
