Managing election anxiety with meditation
The election season can often heighten feelings of uncertainty and stress, leading to what many refer to as "election anxiety." During the 2024 election, it’s crucial to find strategies to manage these feelings to maintain mental well-being.
At Balance, we offer meditations specifically designed to address the emotional turmoil that can accompany elections.
Feeling anxious? Meditate through anxiety
Experiencing anxiety during the election season is common, especially with the constant updates and high stakes involved. Our Anxiety Single incorporates deep breathing and mindfulness to help steady your mind and reduce feelings of stress about the past, present, or future.
Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t forget to breathe
Feeling overwhelmed by the flood of political news and commentary is a typical aspect of election anxiety. Our Breathe meditation helps you focus on your breath, grounding you in the present and reducing overwhelming emotions.
Feeling upset? Work through it with frustration
Election outcomes and debates may sometimes lead to frustration or anger. Our Frustration meditation guides you through techniques to calmly acknowledge and release these strong emotions.
Feeling curious? Explore that through a journal
Elections can spark a heightened sense of curiosity, or even invigorate hope, about societal issues. Our Journal Single encourages you to explore your thoughts and feelings about the election through writing, providing a structured way to process and reflect.
Feeling panicked? Calm down with SOS
For moments of acute panic, perhaps triggered by surprising election news or tense discussions, our SOS Single offers quick and effective techniques to restore peace and composure.
