Using A New “F Word” To Help With Stress: Forgiveness
A somewhat shocking statistic regarding stress was recently observed by the American Psychological Association, which found that 84% of Americans believe that the United States has “serious societal issues” that need to be addressed immediately.
These societal issues come from all over: from extreme division because of difference of opinions, to concerns about the economy and jobs, to lingering concerns about the pandemic. Everything around us can be a stress-inducing item.
Nearly half of U.S. adults believe that planning for their future seems “impossible.”
A recent Gallup poll found that employee stress is at an all-time high.
Nearly one in five Americans have a high level of stress every single day of the week.
Stress is, unfortunately, becoming an everyday piece of most people’s lives. And with these constant elevated levels of stress, it begins to take a toll on us, both physically and mentally.
