Go to a spa and get yourself a good massage. Even if it's just an hour long massage, it would still be very effective in helping you beat stress. But if you can, go on a spa retreat wherein you will be staying at a spa resort for at least an overnight of complete relaxation. That way when you go back to the real world, you will be feeling most relaxed and serene.

Get yourself some stress relief toys. There are stress balls and games specifically designed to relieve stress. There are many of these types of products that you can store in your office drawer. Just take one out, play with it for a minute or two, and you will feel that most of the stress in your body have disappeared.

A vacation is a very good treatment for your stress. If you can, take a week's vacation from work or if that is just not possible, even a weekend would do. You will find that all you need to battle stress is to stop thinking about your office work for just a couple of days and merely do something you enjoy doing like swimming, mountain climbing, or just relaxing some place that you really love.

These are just some of the ways that you can effectively manage your stress. Of course these are just temporary solutions and should you feel that these are not enough, perhaps it is time that you visit your doctor for professional help.
