As long as you're relaxing.<br /><br />Movie marathons and other couch potato episodes aside, just being thankful for everything you have is a good way to relax. <br /><br />Too often, when we focus on the chaos in our lives, we let the stress take over. When we truly feel the blessings, we relax.<br /><br />Strange sounding, I know. But it works for me ;-)<br /><br />Good luck with the ARC edits!<br /><br />~Dawn<br />Southern DuchessL. D.

Then adjust accordingly. It's harder for people who think they can control everything, but if you're honest about it, you can see that trying to control everything in your day is unreasonable.<br /><br />I've been feeling pretty empowered lately, and I have to pull my own reins a few times a day. It helps.L.L.

Although she writes on how to deal with rejection, I think the same principles apply: find things to do that are meaningful and of worth for you personally, and concentrate on that too.<br /><br />If all our energy is focused on only one aspect of life, when that aspect gets crazy stressful, we have no where to turn for relief.Julie Daineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350205936357263571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-17286200236421461142012-02-08T10:22:14.745-05:002012-02-08T10:22:14.745-05:00Thrilled to find this site - I'm currently wri...Thrilled to find this site - I'm currently writing a YA sci-fi/dystopian book and have read several of the members listed here.
