Kelly-Ann Maddox | Coping with Election Day Stress (and Beyond) @kelly-annmaddox | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 minute ago.
Babycakes, I wanted to offer some compassionate space-holding and gentle advice for being centred and healthy on Election Day and also to allow us to focus on what happens afterwards.. This was originally a live stream on my FB page which has been uploaded to YouTube. There is NO political commentary/opinion in this video - it is just a discussion about self-care during the day and beyond. Please share it with anyone who may need it today. Here are some of the main points:
- Avoid the scroll hole, stop yourself from 'doom scrolling'
- Limit and curate your time on social media
- Choose your level of desired information and interaction regarding the election
- Remember that you may be able to handle more information than interaction or vice versa. Choose how much information is ok and how much interaction is ok according to your needs and circumstances.
- You cannot control how others are using social media but you CAN choose YOUR actions and involvement
- Get into your body (body scans, exercise, stretching, skincare etc)
- Give yourself a present today
- Wait for the waves of strong emotion to break so that you can take the next action; remember, every emotion passes
- Remember your principles, your ethics, your beliefs; those things still stand, no matter what the result of this election is..
- Refer to the things that have helped and inspired you along the way - advice, lyrics, quotes etc that have made an impact on you..
- Believe that you can 'do battle against great odds with immense grace under pressure..'
- Tap into your spiritual beliefs and practices, whatever they are
- Love and appreciate the little things..

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: My advice videos usually present a number of different possibilities and suggestions, some of which may be more relevant to your situation than others. Please ensure that you TAKE WHAT RESONATES AND LEAVE THE REST. None of the advice I offer is intended to be taken as gospel, and when I suggest certain exercises or mindset shifts, I am offering them to people GENERALLY rather than to you SPECIFICALLY. I don’t know your personal situation and my advice videos are therefore not made with you in mind. What might be great advice for one person to try might be terrible advice for you! You are ultimately responsible for your actions and decisions.
