Half Of Americans Fear They’ll Never FullyDe-Stress

Audio By Carbonatix

There’s no doubt the past year and a half wasn’t easy, and while things may be getting a bit back to “normal,” the same can’t be said for a lot of people’s stress levels.

A new survey finds:

• The pandemic was so stressful that half of Americans fear they won’t ever be able to fully de-stress, even when everything is back to normal.
• 55% say stress has left them feeling burnt out.
• 46% say they are desperate for a way to handle that stress.

But some people do have ideas for their perfect way to de-stress. They include:

• A trip to a luxury resort (34%)
• Shopping spree (29%)
• Time alone in a cabin in the woods (24%)
• A solo road trip (21%)
• Time alone on a mountain (18%)
• The average American insists they’d need 10 days in their ideal location to de-stress.

But if they can’t get away, there are other things people do that help relieve their stress.

• They include:
• Listening to music (45%)
• Taking a walk (38%)
• Binge-watching TV (33%)
• Taking a deep breath (29%)
• Cuddling a pet (28%)
