25 ways to relax when feeling stressed

The original acupressure mat on the market, this offering from Shakti is designed to unknot tight muscles, help improve circulation and sleep (and as we all know, a lack of quality slumber can wreak havoc with our mood), and reduce stress.

One Cosmopolitan staffer who tried it said, "The Shakti Mat alleviated some of my stiffness and left me feeling chilled out afterwards, with a nice zingy feeling zipping through my body at the same time – in the same way that after a massage you can feel sleepy, but later on more energetic."

She also adds that she can imagine it being a good physical distraction from mental stress, as your body would become preoccupied with the new sensations it's experiencing, even just temporarily.
