If you're on the hunt for relaxation techniques, chances are, you're feeling stressed. And you wouldn't be alone - according to the latest study from the Mental Health Foundation, 74% of people often feel so stressed they're overwhelmed or unable to cope.
According to the mental health charity Mind, stress is how you react when you feel “under pressure or threatened”. It usually happens when you're in a situation that you “don't feel you can manage or control” — and unfortunately, in 2023, those situations are all around, be it the devastating ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, lack of sleep, or living through a cost-of-living crisis.
