I would also add: Join a writer’s group. I’m part of a women’s workshop group, not based on critique, and sometimes the conversation veers off onto non-writing related topics, but that’s okay. We understand what we’re all going through and that helps us feel like at least a few people understand when we’re stressed about the writing life.

Great wisdom here. I've turned some mistakes or gaffes on my part into posts and they've done real well. I like passing on what I learn so others don't have to spend time in the bozo pen. I could not agree more with decreasing the viewing of news. We are bombarded and so much of the news is based on hateful, negative events. Watching the news makes it very difficult to maintain a positive outlook, and a positive outlook is crucial to moving forward.

In a very Canadian reply, I watch hockey (I’m hooped in the summer!). After spending all day pitching, wondering about potential assignments, worrying about an Editor’s response and plugging away at any given article, I get swept away by hockey stories, teams and players. It’s impossible for me not to get caught up in it all (which can sometimes lead to more stress!), but it gets my mind off of work and my body gets an exercise from jumping up and down. It’s also a good vocal workout It’s nice to get out of my “writer/artist” headspace and just cheer on a good, old fashioned hockey game.
