If you're feeling stressed, you'll know big an impact it can have on your life. Here are 10 options for relieving yourself of your worries.

1. Relaxing your muscles if often easier said that done, which is why you may want to book in for a massage at a luxury spa to give your aches and pains some much needed attention.

2. Not only is swimming great exercise, but it also helps to relax the body, which will make it easier for you to unwind than it would doing other activities.

3. If you feel run down and tired, it can often take its toll around the eyes. Having a facial treats the skin and can give you a feeling of rejuvenation.

4. Being pampered is often the best way to feel relaxed, so why not book in for a manicure and give your nails some special treatment?

5. Going for a long walk is one of the best forms of exercise you can get. The fresh air will help you think, remove clutter from your mind and help you to sleep at night.

6. Many people find shopping to be one of the most stressful activities around. If that's the case for you, doing your spending online may be the answer.

7. If you're overrun with work, it's a good idea to talk to your superiors or delegate some of your projects to other members of staff. If you stretch yourself to thin, you're unlikely to do a great job and that will only serve to make you more stressed.

8. Another luxury spa treatment that may help relax you is to have a full body wrap. Your skin will look and feel better and chances are so will you.

9. How long has it been since you last packed a suitcase and jetted off on holiday? If you have stress in your life, a break overseas may be the ideal tonic.

10. Drinking more water can have numerous benefits for your health, including helping you sleep. If stress has been disrupting your sleep pattern, water may be the solution.
