Maybe you’re under a mountain of work, or maybe you have to deliver some horrible news. You might be feeling intense pressure to perform or even laying in bed, questioning your life decisions with existential dread creeping.

As crappy as all those scenarios are, we’ve all lived some variation of them. Stress is an ever-present factor in a human’s life, and we’re human, so we feel it.
