I wrote a blog for the APA Help Center on how to manage your stress during this uncertain time:  http://www.yourmindyourbody.org/managing-your-stress-about-sequestration/

Some quick reminders about how to deal with your stress.

  1. Face the reality of your situation, neither putting your head in the sand nor reacting like the sky is falling.
  2. Make a plan.
  3. Talk to your family about your plan.
  4. Renew your commitment to taking good care of yourself: exercise, get plenty of sleep and eat nutritious meals.
  5. Communicate with your elected officials about your views and how you want them to represent you.
