Social media users mocked The New York Times on Tuesday for offering its followers tips to reduce election-related stress.
“Elections and anxiety often go hand in hand,” the Times wrote. “Here are some evidence-based strategies that can help you cope.”
The paper offered five suggestions, include plunging your face into a bowl of ice water, breathing like a baby, and tracing your hand as you breathe in and out.
5 Ways to Soothe Election Stress
Try five-finger breathing. Trace the outside of your hand with your pointer finger. When you trace up, breathe in, and when you trace down, breathe out.
Cool down. Plunge your face into a bowl with ice water for 15 to 30 seconds.
Move. Even a walk around the block can offer some relief for an uneasy mind.
Breathe like a baby. Focus on expanding your belly as you breathe, which can send more oxygen to the brain.
Limit your scrolling. Consider plotting out specific times when you will look for election updates.

How about a good stiff drink, libbies.
Plastic bag over the head. You’ll turn blue.

May I suggest to Democrats that plastic bags sealed around your head is very effective at controlling hyperventilating. Leave sealed for at least 20 minutes.
Or they could hold their head under water and count to five trillion sllllloooooowwwwwwlllyyy
Or...they could pay a visit to Paul pelosi
It ain’t over till all the poll workers find ballots in their trunks

Heh, heh! Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the new governor of Arkansas.
HA HA! I pray there isn’t enough hooch in the Nation to placate the Blues..
Oh, for Pete’s sake, try growing up and being an adult.
Maybe they should pull out all those ventilators that Andrew Cuomo had in storage during the Scamdemic.
This is what advice to actual election deniers looks like.
“Oh, for Pete’s sake, try growing up and being an adult.”
Hahaha. We all react the same way.
They need a bottle of Zannies to add to that.
I am sitting in my recliner, reading a hundred-year-old novel, and drinking a cup of coffee, with my dog curled up asleep in my lap. Every half-hour or so I go to FR and a couple of other sites to see what’s going on. I have done my part, and how things turn out is otherwise out of my hands. I keep in mind what I hear sung in church every Sunday: “Put not your trust in princes, in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation” and pray that God, whom I do trust, will bless our people and give us wise leadership.
Now, isn’t that better than throwing a tantrum and plunging your face into a bowl of ice water?
Not the Bee. LOL!
I’m sitting here with 2 fingers of Basil Hayden Dark Rye, Leo the Wonder Dog at my feet watching the returns on Fox.
Too bad we don’t have a Republican Party here in IL. Pritzker and Duckworth were soooo beatable.
