When it comes to writing, what is your ultimate super duper stress creator?
Is it coming up with the idea for your new book?
Is it writing that first draft?
Re-writing?
Editing?
Publishing?

Marketing?
Anything that creates stress can
block you from moving forward. Take it from me, if you also have life stresses occurring on a fairly frequent basis, you'll also have to figure out how to make your life work.
So how do you do it?
I am an avid believer in prayer; taking those moments to reflect and ponder about my life. I'm also fairly organized, and this helps when I find myself stressing about something I have little or no control over. Taking a break helps, too.
Today I made banana bread with the grand-children.
Tomorrow I might decide to take a walk.

If your day feels too full (and some days what you can handle is less than what you can handle on other days) be aware of yourself enough to let go of what really doesn't matter.
And keep smiling.
