MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The days leading up to the election next Tuesday can be a stressful time for some people.

UW – Health Psychologist Shilagh Mirgain says you should focus on the things you can control.

“I think when we focus on what we can control taking positive action that helps us control what we can control,” Mirgain said. “Put down the phone maybe take a break from social media make sure you’re getting out and exercising, engaging in mindfulness, being in the here and now.”

Mirgain says on Election Night, avoid “doom-scrolling” on your phone and give yourself breaks from election coverage.
