Austria's Easy Aura

While not a stress-soothing technique per se, having a community of support can certainly help when it comes to achieving lower overall stress levels. In Austria, which is home to not one, but two of the least stressful cities in the world (Innsbruk and Graz), 92% of people believe that they know someone they could rely on in a time of need. Austrians also rarely work long hours, and both cities are surrounded by nature and have next-to-zero air or noise pollution. If you can’t pack your bags and spend a year abroad in Austria, try surrounding yourself with friends, family, and nature to capture the essence.
