Managing Election Stress with Self Care and Spa Escapes

Tips to help you stay balanced during election season.

Election season can stir up a whirlwind of emotions, from anxiety to overwhelm. If the current news cycle has you feeling tense, it’s essential to remember the power of self-care for keeping grounded.

Here are a few effective, calming tips to help you stay balanced during this time, with some added encouragement to take a break from it all at The Ivy Day Spa, where relaxation takes center stage.

1. Set Boundaries with Media

Limit your exposure to news and social media updates. Consider designated times to check in, and balance your day with content that uplifts and relaxes. This small shift can keep stress levels down.

2. Practice Deep Breathing and Mindfulness

Simple breathing exercises can make a big difference in stress management. Try taking a few deep breaths every hour or practice a few minutes of mindfulness. This quiet space helps to clear the mind and bring awareness back to the present.

3. Connect with Supportive People

Make time to connect with family or friends, ideally in person or by phone. Conversations in real life are grounding and supportive, and they can help break the cycle of screen-induced stress.

4. Prioritize Your Physical Health

Daily exercise, nutritious food, and plenty of rest go a long way. Moving your body releases tension and boosts mood, while healthy meals and quality sleep provide the energy needed to take on each day with more resilience.
