SGIC Research Shows Everyday Stresses Worry South Australians
Insurance provider SGIC has released new research, which coincides with the launch of its "Unworry" campaign highlighting how complex our lives have become.
Adelaide, SA (PRWEB) February 7, 2009 -- South Australians have admitted they're worriers - and it's the everyday annoyances that get under their skin.
Research by SGIC found 67 percent of people in SA said they worried about life's everyday stresses, with aggressive and rude driver behaviour, and office know-it-alls topping the list of gripes.
The release of the research coincides with the launch of the SGIC "Unworry" Insurance campaign, which highlights how complex our lives have become.
SGIC State Manager Ms Lee Jameson said the research revealed most people were sweating the small stuff.
"The survey certainly indicated most of us get caught up and distracted by small annoyances," Ms Jameson said. "It's ok if the kids have toast for dinner, or you spend the weekend in your PJs - there's enough we're already worrying about."
"Insurance gives you peace of mind - one less thing to worry about so you can get on with life."
Ms Jameson said the research also showed that taking time out for simple pleasures was the key to "unworrying" for most SA residents.
"Generally reading a book or the paper, watching TV or a movie, listening to music, exercising, or spending time with friends were the activities most people said helped them keep a positive outlook, unwind and relax."
