5 TIPS FOR MANAGING ELECTION DAY ANXIETY
It’s a historic Election Day in the United States and you may be feeling anxious. This could be another election that we will not know the outcome by the end of the day. To manage your stress today and in the days ahead, remember these 5 Tips for Managing Election Day Anxiety.
BE GRATEFUL
Take a deep breath to ground yourself and be grateful. Remind yourself that we live in a free country where EVERYONE has the right to vote and let your voice be heard.
TAKE A WALK/RUN
The rhythmic pattern of walking or running can be therapeutic. This allows the mind and body to naturally relax. In addition, fresh air and sunshine (if the weather is cooperating in your area) help lower blood pressure, improve energy levels, and strengthen immunity. The body also produces Vitamin D from exposure to sunshine which further improves immunity and reduces depression.
READ A FREE BOOK
Download a free audio or e-book at from your public library. Many city libraries have apps or websites that allow members to access streaming or downloadable audio and e-books.
PLAY A GAME
