Proverbs 4:25(NKJV)
Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you.
Election Stress – Political anxiety and frustration triggered by he uncertainty of Election outcomes, polarizing rhetoric, and none stop news coverage.
Every 2 years doing midterms and 4 years doing the presidential election time we are told by many that this is the most important election ever.
Constantly being told if this candidate wins our lives are over can be stressful, if we let it.
Regardless of who wins we still have to stay focus and live our lives, and look straight ahead.
Once we vote, hopefully we all do, we have to wake up the next day and live your lives, regardless who wins.
Don’t let political, media, social media, or religious fear run your life.
True there may be some challenges we may face regardless who wins elections, but never let that cause you to give up hope.
Success is still in front of us, our best life can be ahead regardless of outcomes, it never is easy, but we can prevail.
So even if our party of choice wins, it’s only promises, and they have been broken many times.
So try not to live in fear our give up on your dreams because of political outcomes.
Looking straight Ahead should be our goal.
Election stress is real, many give up if their party of choice loses, so much negative talk.
Combating Election Stress:
1. Limit Media(Social Media) Reducing our social media time can help us, so many sensationalizing commercials about the other party.
Constant news feeds, so many YouTubes and Podcast channels. Every has an opinion and has done their research, whatever that means.
2. Focus on what you can control We can vote, volunteer, get involve in our communities before and after the election.
3. Set boundaries with political discussions
People will drag you in discussions and stress you out, especially coworkers, friends and family.
4. Do helpful activities
Exercising, focusing on your health and nutrition, reading, meditation, explore nature.
Focusing on our careers or businesses can help us stay positive.
5. Have positive people in your life
If everyone in our lives are gloom and doom, we should find positive friends, who are not just focused on politics and social media.
The world is changing, we have many challenges, there are also many positive things happening.
We all get down and go through things, nothing wrong with getting down, just don’t stay down.
Election Stress, it’s a real thing, but it doesn’t have to control our lives.
You have a future, regardless of who wins, look straight ahead.
