Feeling stressed out? You're not alone. Many people report feeling frazzled.
In the latest Mayo Clinic National Health Checkup, the highest proportion of respondents said their job and/or school contributed the most to their stress level last year.
"It's important that we learn how to relieve the stress that builds during the [workday] or school day," says Dr. Amit Sood, author of The Mayo Clinic Guide to Stress-free Living. "Even a five-minute break can help in reducing your overall stress level."
