Stress surrounds us every day. We experience it in our personal lives, at work, in our relationships and through the constant stream of information from the news and social media. We live in a world of endless notifications, growing expectations and competing demands that pull us in multiple directions at once. We are often expected to be constantly available and do more than our time and energy allow.
