However you feel about this Presidential election, try taking your emotions and thoughts and putting them into something good, or thinking about something that will be worth your time. Let the rest of the world make long Facebook statuses and throw a fit every two minutes. There are other things you can think about and participate in this week.

1. Try a new fitness class.

POUND is a new fitness trend. The class uses “Ripstix, lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising, POUND transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out,” their website says. The website lists a ton of health benefits too, so why not try it out!

2. Try to find Emma Watson’s hidden feminist books on the subway.

Time Out New York reported that Emma Watson was hiding feminist books on the subway all day. There’s a good chance that there still might be some out there!

3. Listen to some TED talks.

You can listen on the go, while you work out, while you travel, while you study. Mashable has compiled a list of 15 TED Talks That Will Change Your Life. They might not change your life, but at least they will give you something to think about.

4. Visit a temple, a synagogue, or a mosque.

I know what you’re thinking. What? What is the point of this? As American people, we pride ourselves on religious freedom and having the ability to choose and practice any religion or faith we choose without restraint and without consequences. In order for us to stay connected after such a devastatingly divisive event, we need to learn more about each other. I took a Buddhism class last semester and one requirement was to visit a Buddhist temple. I visited a temple in New York City and it was an absolutely amazing and humbling experience. If you want to educate yourself about the people around you, visit their religious sanctions and institutions, it will open your eyes to a lot more than you think.

5. Consider using a Himalayan salt lamp in your home.

These have always been on my radar, but Himalayan salt lamps allegedly bring countless benefits into our lives and our homes. The Daily Health Post wrote an article about these benefits, which include better air, better sleep, and mental clarity. Those all sound like things that the American public could use right now.

6. Learn about 9.3 percent of the American population that is affected by diabetes.

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and it’s important that our focus turns to this disease this month. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has created a great campaign called T1D Looks Like Me, you can learn more about the disease and how you can help at the JDRF website.

7. Need a laugh? Download the Laughly app.

It holds podcasts from thousands of comedians, both well-known and not-so well-known. Listen to stand-ups from Amy Schumer, Aziz Ansari, Kevin Hart, and tons of others! The best part is, it’s free!

8. Check out this video about a company that is giving back to the people in their community, by spontaneously paying for their groceries.

Now I bet after thinking about a few of these things that you'll have focused your attention and energy on something much more productive than what was upsetting you earlier this week. I don't even remember what it was about.
