Find Calm on Election Day: cute animals

Meditation + confidence = calm.

Calm.com and the San Diego Zoo are providing a peaceful diversion on Election Day with cute animal videos. 

Why it matters: It's important to find ways to de-stress and stay calm during election season, which won't be over on Nov. 5th.

Driving the news: Calm is hosting a live stream from the San Diego Zoo on Instagram so we can take a break from political doomscrolling to watch capybaras, meerkats, penguins, and other beautiful wildlife.

It starts at noon PT until polls close across the country.
