There is one week to go until election day. My anxiety level skyrockets whenever I think about it or turn on the news. In our house, we are doing our best to not watch too much CNN, which is actually helping with our stress.
I read this article on Psychology Today's website which offers ideas how to cope withwhat we're all going through: Struggling With Election Anxiety? Basic coping skills can help keep stress in check. I found that making a conscuous choice not to engage in the political happenings in these final weeks has allowed me to have more energy to focus on the positive things happening around me.
With that in mind, I thought we could have a post where we share some good things. What is happening in your community that have renewed you faith in humanity? Have you had a bit of good news you'd like to share? Did you see a comic or heard a groaner that made you laugh out loud? How about posting a picture you took or saw that made you smile? You all get the idea. Let's spread some joy to get us through the next week.
