An exclusive new lifestyle survey shows that three-quarters of people’s health has been affected by stress and a third of people have had a quarter-life or identity crisis.

A new survey has looked at people’s lives from end to end, and has some surprising findings relating to modern relationships, careers, wellbeing, social lives and support structures. Coaching website http://www.lifecoachforyou.com carried out the survey in the first half of 2004, and the survey shows just how much individuals want to have, do and be more in their lives.

London, UK (PRWEB) July 20, 2004

According to the survey carried out by LifeCoachForYou, people really do want to have, do and be more, but aren't sure how to go about getting what they want. Some of the survey findings are shown below.

Relationships

• Just 55% of people in relationships say that they are ‘very happy’.
• The biggest things people want more of in their relationship are one to one time, consideration and sex.
• Three quarters of singles would like to be in a relationship.

Careers

• 3 out of 10 people are looking for a new job, while 4 out of 10 people would like to change careers altogether. Of those people wanting a career change, they’d be stopped in doing so because of a drop in salary, because they don’t have a clear direction and because they lack the confidence to change.
• More women than men are stressed at work, with 28% of women saying they experience significant and unhealthy levels of stress at work, as opposed to 19% of men.

Wellbeing

• 72% of people would like to be more confident, with people rating themselves as 67% confident on average.
• Nearly 6 out of 10 people have been depressed in the past, and of those 3 out of 10 still are.
• 37% of people stated that they’ve experienced some kind of quarter-life or identity crisis.

Social Life

• Just 29% of people said that their social life was fulfilling.
• Having more fun, more spontaneity and having a larger group of friends are the biggest things people want to enhance their social life.

Support

• Three quarters of people have had their health affected by stress.
• The biggest areas of life that people want to see progress in are their careers, their finances and their intimate relationships.

Findings can be broken down by gender and age, among other factors. For more information on the survey and further findings contact Steve Errey.
