It’s April 2022, and it’s National Stress Month! If you think life is stressful in the US, in Spring 2022, you are not alone! If you think it’s more stressful now than in a long time, you are not alone. If you think we are living in unusual times, you are with the majority. The American Psychological Association regularly conducts a Stress In America poll, which they began in 2007. And this year, I was very excited to see the results, because they match what I see in my stress management practice. The latest APA results were published in March, yes, 35 days ago. How stressed people feel and what they are stressed about has changed! Here are some key points from the APA’s press release:
- More adults are stressed about inflation and the invasion of Ukraine that any other issue covered in the 15-year history of this key poll.
- Two thirds of adults reported their lives had been forever changed by the Pandemic.
- People’s main concerns, all reported by 80% or more, are inflation, supply chain issues (will there be toilet paper tomorrow?), Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and potential retaliation from Russia, including cyberattacks.
The CEO of APA, Arthur C. Evans, Jr., says:
The number of people who say they’re significantly stressed about these most recent events is stunning relative to what we’ve seen since we began the survey in in 2007…we’re now reaching unprecedented levels of stress that will challenge our ability to cope.

Healthy Happy Loving Life! 
I try to keep things balanced in my life so stress is at a minimum. I do feel I’m doing good on eating healthy and exercising, as for getting quality sleep, that’s another story. I seem to only need a few hours then I’m up in my blanket tent scrolling through blogs! A few more hours of shut eye then it’s morning. I keep busy so stress can’t catch me.

Right now, I am trying not to let stress affect me. Because I was diagnosed as diabetic, I am following a diet plan and exercise at least once a week. Getting enough sleep is still a challenge but I will work on it.
I am one of those affected by the situation in Ukraine but this was overridden by the current election situation in my country.
