No caffeine, reduce salt to minimum, reduce fat to minimum, keep a balaced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, avoid situations which would make you excited (angry), practice light excercise, no overstraining (swimming is fine, other movements which keep your body in good state are fine but don't strain).

Adding to thinkdifferent's reply, take your medication regularly if it is prescribed by the doctor. Check your BP regularly also. Learn to relax will be good. If you are feeling stressed, go out and have a walk in the park and come back.

First, are you sure your bp is high? Buy a bp set that is easy to use...an automated one will do. Take your blood pressure in bed when you wake up in the morning for several days. Record your readings and see your GP. He will be able to advise you if you have a high bp and what to do next.
