6. Love the suggestions from the link:
So these are my constructive ideas, if you have any interest:

1) At some point after reading this, take a minute to close your eyes
and picture Wednesday, November 5th, and feel your jubilation and
relief, the thrill that Obama has been elected as the 44th President
of the United States of America. Picture, in sensory detail, where
you hear of it, whom you're with, and how you feel. Let this feeling
linger with you; savor it. Build on it. Keep coming back to it. Make
yourself a DVD for your mind that you can pop in at any moment.

(Now, some of you might not feel comfortable doing this because…what
if he doesn't win, and I've gone and gotten myself all hopeful? 'I
don't want to feel disappointed.' Okay, but, come on, just this once,
can you risk it? The stakes are pretty high. What if you allowed
yourself to go all out and be crazy hopeful?)

2) If you find yourself freaked out by something else you hear about
her (likely to happen to most of us), notice it, file it away or toss
it out or whatever, but then take a deep breath (really - do this),
and bring yourself back to 1).

3) Start calling him President Obama. People will laugh; you'll laugh
too…then keep doing it. Make it a habit, of thought and of word.

4) Go to YouTube and watch part or all of any of the speeches from
the Democratic National Convention. Be uplifted by it.
