I had the pleasure of being Interviewed by our local ABC News 10 reporter Ben Ryan on how to cope with election related stress. How to cope with election day stress: 1. Name it & Tame it... 2. Exercise 3. Food, eat healthy foods & limit caffeine intake 4. Boundaries around social media & conversations with others, we have to be able to take a break from the topic & talk about & consume other types of information 5. Stay socially connected 6. Realize we may not have a final result today, keep busy with meaningful activities (ex: listen to favorite music, rest, clean, cook, complete a project) 7. Seek solace in faith, meditation & connect to feelings of hope 8. Avoid ineffective stress management: alcohol & substance abuse https://www.news10.com//worry-free-ways-to-help-manage-e/2.

Stress can lead to Burnout - which is the title of these rockin womens' book: "Burnout The Secrets to Unlocking the Stress Cycle" written by Emily & Amelia Nagoski. Watch this great clip & interview of them below! Emily Nagoski is also the author of "Come as You Are" which is another awesomely necessary piece of work. I am such a fan, she is a brilliant educator with such knowledge on breaking down concepts. Google her TED Talks, you won't be disappointed #emilynagoski #burnoutbookclub #burnout #stress
