Find someplace isolated and quiet, and make a hot cup of green tea. Hold the cup in your hands for a while and just breathe in the smell of it. Drink it when you feel good and relaxed.
Spend less time online and use that new free time for a little more exercise or rest.
Do something that takes you out of the quotidian flow of time and deadlines. Read a book, play a video game, watch a movie, take a walk, but procrastinate in a way that forces you to stop, and deliberately dedicate a couple hours to not doing what you should be doing.
What you don't want to do is spend all that time in 5-minute intervals of "just one more site"; "just one more refresh of reddit"; etc. That will keep you feeling like you have to do something now, and you will quickly, efficiently, and stressfully grind your way through a whole bunch of sites and articles without getting anything done or actually relaxing.
