It has been a tense year with an unprecedented number of natural disasters and wildly divisive politics. Things are coming to a head with today's elections, and you can cut the tension with a knife. To help you ease any anxiety that may be surfacing, watch these 5 videos to keep you calm on election day.

For TikTok Tuesday I first thought about sharing funny videos. But while laughter is certainly good for the soul, I thought it would be more appropriate to share a few serene videos that have crossed my feed. It's likely we could all use more peace and Zen. Not just on election day, but also on a regular basis.

Videos To Keep You Calm And More

Regardless of where you find your calm or what lowers your blood pressure, you should find some of it here. I tried to cover all of the scenic bases. There are beach scenes, mountain scenes, flowing waters, and more. The only thing missing are puppies and kittens. So here is a cute photo to make you smile and perhaps exhale.

If you don't have a TikTok account, don't worry. I've made it easy to view the videos by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and watch from this post. In addition, share with friends who could also use a calming distraction as this heated election season comes to a head.

Remember we are all in this together. Be kind to one another regardless of the outcome.

Crackling Fire

Ahhhhh. I can just picture myself here. Wearing fuzzy slippers and sipping on a hot toddy. It looks like the definition of a perfect cozy escape from reality. 

Fog Rolling In

Everything about this is dreamy, ethereal. This is for sure a place for someone to exhale and be present. 

Sunset And A Babbling Brook

Here are two things that almost always calm anxiety. A good sunrise and a gentle stream or babbling brook. Put them together in the mountains and you have magic.

Mountain View

Speaking of mountains. There is something about the change of seasons in the rolling hills that is breathtaking. Just as we are changing seasons politically. 

Cool Flowing Water

This above and below water perspective here is gorgeous. So are the colors. If it didn't look so cold, I would want to dive right into this one.
