Imagine that every single time you blink, around seven people would have died as a direct or indirect result of stress.

According to the Center for Disease Control/National Institute on Occupational Safety & Health, the workplace is the number one cause of life stress. The CDC reports 110,000+ people die every year as a direct result of stress.

When I read this statement, I started becoming a lot conscious of the stress we go through every single day.

When does the average person today start stressing?

Well let’s go back to the moment right before they go to bed. They usually stress about hitting the snooze button, and anticipating feeling drained and tired the next morning. You go to sleep with the intention of waking up on the wrong side of the bed. Your alarm goes off, and if you magically did not hit the snooze button to have a fifteen-minute peaceful retreat before a long stressful day of work, you decide get up cause you have to. Obligations are what got you out of bed, and with obligations comes stress.
