According to an annual survey from the American Psychological Association, stress is an all-too-common experience. What's more, many people feel stressed beyond their coping abilities. Between work, money issues, family stress, and other obligations, it can be easy to feel overworked, frustrated, and burned out.
The researchers found that participants who performed more daily acts of kindness were less likely to feel stressed. On days when they could not complete any acts of kindness, participants reported more stress and negativity.
