Election stress? Try these fun meditation apps

For those who are feeling the pinch of anxiety on election night, try downloading one of the following meditation apps.

A hilarious marketing campaign launched by the Calm meditation app during the 2020 U.S. presidential election week moved the Calm app up 20 ranks to number 79 in the Health & Fitness category in the United States.

Rugged Counseling founder Trey Tucker recently told KTAL NBC News 6 that data shows about 70% of voters say they feel increased anxiety during elections. He says you can see anxiety and election stress as a negative thing and something you try to eliminate or ignore, but that’s probably going to make it worse.
