It’s likely that we won’t have a definitive winner in the presidential race at the end of the day. Things will definitely get weird and might get scary. That mix of excitement and dread rolling around in my gut isn’t going away on its own. As always, I’m writing this as much for me as I am for you.

Many, many good reporters are on the case — including at the place where I work — but let me gently suggest that you don’t spend all day refreshing your feed. Nobody will know anything that matters until after supper Eastern time.

So here are a few ways to chill on this Election Day.

Look out somebody else’s window.

Listen to music that makes you feel good.

Get out in the fresh air.

Find something that makes you laugh.

Make something beautiful.

Remember how small we are in this big world.
