de-stress
Let anxiety go
De-stress means to relax or reduce tension and anxiety.
The word implies actively doing something to counter stress—taking a bath, going for a walk, meditating: I need to de-stress after this week.
It functions as both verb and modifier: de-stress techniques, de-stress routine.
