Dog-walk without looking at the time.
Climbing up to Basin to Sassafrass until it feels like i have robotlegs.
Listening to random music for hours what is basically looking for something new I might like.
Just doing nothing for an entire day :)

Going into the nature and lookout for animals, birds and plants to photograph. Looking for birds and animals is a great way to escape and free you mind, you have to connect with nature and keep busy looking around and feel the nature around you.
Listening to music while doing illustration is another great way, for me, to escape reality.

As an aside, not a massive escapism - those idle moments thinking of possibilities, personal or otherwise.
Grandiose Ifs and Possibly-Maybes, writ across minutes of downtime, between the here and there.

Playing with my son. No matter how bad things are, on the street, in the market, with health, with work ... when I have time with my son it feels like an escape from the madness. The purity that is childhood is free from all the pressures of life, and nothing else matches its ability to center me.
- +1. My little one is like some magical buffer, dispersing my shit. I play with her like a spastic child on an early summer's day and my troubles whisp away.Nairn
