What are your strategies for staying sane until we know the results of the US election?

General Section question

This year’s election is unlike any other. Record numbers of votes have been cast by mail-in or early through other means. The media is reporting that favors the Democrats. They are also reporting many Republicans will vote in person Tuesday. The first round of numbers reported may favor the Republicans while the mail-in ballots are still being counted. What’s more that counting could take days.

Plus there’s the likelihood of court battles.

It is unlikely we will know the winner Tuesday night.

How will you stay sane until the winner is known? What strategies will you use?

I am going to rely heavily on meditation. I will greatly limit my exposure to Facebook and spend more time on other sites where I have a curated feed of beautiful photography and drag queens. I will take walks. I will watch zero broadcast news. None. They sensationalize in the extreme. Because of a medical condition, I’ve got some antianxiety medication I can take if I decide I need it.

I hope this will be a thread about tools to use to help ourselves feel good during what may be a tumultuous time. I sincerely hope there will be no arguing about politics.
