How to access your state’s voter guide.
How to create a simple voting plan.

Take Care

Maintain and/or build daily wellness habits. Practice good nutrition, exercise, social connection. Stick to a normal sleep routine. Maintaining your existing healthy habits will help sustain you through stressful times. Check out The Self-Care Wheel to learn how to best support a balanced lifestyle.

Take care of your body in the present moment. Turn your attention toward physical well-being. What does your body need? Rest? Movement? Hot shower? Warm meal? Good stretch? Deep breaths? Avoid using drugs/alcohol as a coping strategy.

Practice positive psychology. Despite all of the negativity in the election, try to find some balance. Seek out positive stories and news like The Uplift.
