to unwind
Explanation:
Unwind é literalmente quando você dá corda em um brinquedo, e solta, ele "unwind", e bem, extravasa a energia da mola :)

How do you unwind? I like to go jogging or to the shooting range. Sometimes I take a bike ride.

It`s exactly the same thing as the other suggestion, which by the way is also correct... you have options! :D
