Wait. Sorry. Hmm. When I get really stressed, I use up all the hot water in the tank by taking a marathon shower. I noticed, recently, that all of my heroines take long showers, too. Which leads me to this startling revelation... I do write when I'm stressed. If my stress is caused by something out of my control, I find I retreat into my current story/WIP and just live there for awhile. Therapists would have a field day with me! Another thing I do is walk away from my desk and do something entirely different but semi-productive, like (finally) clean up my side of the closet or (finally) put away the last of the Christmas wrap & stuff. I feel great when I get a task completed and it lessens the pressure of the stuff I haven't gotten done. Like re-editing my next overdue release! (Finally.) Only one time around, dear publisher. Remember not to waste a moment on things that drag you down (unless it's just my book.) <3 Get out there and wal– Oh. Wait. Sorry. Hmm.

Ingemar Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:42:17 +0000 http://klsyed.com/?p=177#comment-114 I have several de-stressing habits: Sometimes I listen to music, or play music. Other times I do weeding, drawing, target practice, the types of activities that require intense concentration on the task at hand. And other times, I find it soothing to take ten minutes and do something I want to do, like indulging in a luxury of some kind. Good luck! I have several de-stressing habits:
