We&#8217;re busy, we have kids, we&#8217;re cramming in hobbies, we&#8217;re juggling relationships and jobs, worrying about unpaid bills and trying to break bad habits like unhealthy eating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">And unfortunately, it&#8217;s getting worse, not better. In its annual survey, the Australian Psychological Society reports that<\/span> <span style=\"color: #6366e4;\"><a style=\"color: #6366e4;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.psychology.org.au\/psychologyweek\/survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;well-being&#8217; has been on the decline over the past five years<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">So what&#8217;s wrong with Australians in 2017?<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>1. Stress in young people<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10704 \" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/af4e6c907374b5c2715a4edf06abeaab.png\" alt=\"mobile home massage sydney\" width=\"432\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/af4e6c907374b5c2715a4edf06abeaab.png 515w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/af4e6c907374b5c2715a4edf06abeaab-250x300.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">When people talk about &#8216;stress&#8217;, the people that are generally doing the talking are often not particularly young. But the trend over the past couple of years has actually been a decline in well-being among Australians between the ages of 18-25.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Very often, this group of people are dealing with the first phase of independent living, juggling education and employment with a rising cost of living, and in many cases struggling with all of the things that people older than them also worry about, like family and relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Employment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10707 \" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/computer-laptop-work-office-777x437.jpg\" alt=\"blys massage\" width=\"517\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/computer-laptop-work-office-777x437.jpg 777w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/computer-laptop-work-office-777x437-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/computer-laptop-work-office-777x437-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Another key well-being worry among Australians in the last five years is employment. In the past, we could keep our jobs for decades or even an entire working career, but those days are largely over. Now, the &#8216;wellness&#8217; gap between those working and retirees is growing sharply, as Australians worry about long hours, job security and being offered enough work to cover bills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Living arrangements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10706\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/581e7c1b53817113394cb9146752cedc-e1489034972315.jpg\" alt=\"mobile home massage sydney\" width=\"432\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/581e7c1b53817113394cb9146752cedc-e1489034972315.jpg 559w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/581e7c1b53817113394cb9146752cedc-e1489034972315-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Another reason for the dipping &#8216;wellness&#8217; of Australians is due to their living arrangements. In recent years, the percentage of Australians living alone has increased, even though those with partners are shown to have higher levels of well-being. Sole parents also struggle more with the stresses of life, as do people living with family or parents as they push to get into a tough housing market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Children<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10708\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4ba4648d3860b9cdb52088d186590623-e1489034923223.jpg\" alt=\"on demand home massage sydney\" width=\"432\" height=\"556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4ba4648d3860b9cdb52088d186590623-e1489034923223.jpg 399w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4ba4648d3860b9cdb52088d186590623-e1489034923223-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">We all know that kids can be stressful, but those with children actually report higher well-being levels. Higher well-being also accompanies higher levels of education and income &#8211; even though the combination of kids, study and work can often be very stressful indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The good news for Australians striving for health, happiness and wellness in their hectic 2017 lives is that Blys is here to help!
