Coping with Election Stress

拔掉

Limit your consumption of social media and the 24-hour non-stop images. It’s important to stay informed, but creating boundaries is important.

在场

Use reflection to recognize your inner thoughts and feelings. Be curious and non-judgmental and give yourself permission to feel the way you do. Although avoiding can be useful, “stuffing” or ignoring strong emotions can have negative impacts.

加油

Focus on restoring yourself with rest and healthy food. Drink water and try to limit caffeine. 每天动一点. Take a walk; look at the sky; be in nature. 日记或冥想. Make art or watch funny videos. 读一些有趣的东西.

连接

Engage with supportive friends and allies. Talk about current issues, if needed, but be aware of when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Not everyone will share your perspective, so it’s OK to limit your topics and avoid heated conflict. Reach out to supportive services on-campus, including CAPS.

做某事

Channel what you’re feeling into positive, meaningful activity. Be informed and proactive around issues that matter to you. Find ways to engage in your community through advocacy in ways that fit for you.
