We’re known for our upbeat nature and love of a good joke, but new research from Spotify has revealed all the little things that are stressing Australians out daily.
We’re not talking the big worries like global warming, but all the little micro stresses that play on our minds each day – and it turns out it’s not just you that worries about your dog being lonely when you go to work. Here are the top worry-habits of Down Under:
67% us worry about not getting enough sleep
22% of us worry about leaving our dog at home
16% of us worry about keeping our plants alive
While these might sound like small things, the research found that 74% of us are finding everyday life problems more and more stressful.
To help combat these worries Spotify suggest listening to music and podcasts (and leaving a playlist on for your pup or your plants when you leave the house!) to take your mind off things and improve your mood. Check out these playlists to help:
