So what exactly is causing us to be so stressed out? Here at the Workshop Lab we set out on a mission to uncover the truth behind the reason for our stress. It didn’t take us too long to find some interesting facts. According to research conducted by the Australian Psychological Society, the top five causes of stress in Australia are:
Personal finances – 49%
Family issues – 45 %
Personal health – 44%
Trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle – 40%
Issues with the health of others close to us – 38%
In order to reduce this stress, we are turning to these popular stress reduction strategies:
