The American Psychological Association released the Stress in America 2023 report, listing the issues Americans were most stressed about this year and most of us are in the same boat. Here are what people have stressed over in 2023… and hopefully won’t in 2024:
- Money and the economy
- Health issues
- The future of our country and social divisiveness
- Mass shootings and violence
- Global conflicts
- Discrimination and personal safety
Here are some steps the APA says you can take to limit stress:
- Identify your main stressors and limit them
- Unfollow social media accounts that make you worry. Unplug when needed
- Focus on what you can control
- Take time to rest
- Spend time in nature
- Seek professional help
