Some advice for coping with the final days of the presidential election and life beyond:
-- Step away from the computer, TV and newspaper, and avoid vicious political arguments, says Gretchen Rubin, New York-based author of the forthcoming "Happiness Project."
-- Be pro-active instead of powerless by volunteering or otherwise making your voice heard, Rubin says.
-- Take care of yourself by getting enough sleep, eating right and exercising. You'll feel better while recognizing those things you can control, says Wilmette, Ill.-based psychologist Nancy Molitor.
-- Realize that no candidate is as good -- or as bad -- as you might imagine, Molitor says.
-- When all else fails, change the subject, says Lisa Miller, associate professor of psychology at Columbia University Teachers College in New York. "Turn to those things which are more eternal and more important, such as nature and family," she says. "It's a great time to go into nature. Go camping."
