The primary thing is to put some distance between myself and the text. Which could mean working on a different piece for a while (I usually have 2-3 going at once), which works if I'm not on deadline. If I am on a deadline, exercising or gardening helps. I'm separating myself from the work and thinking of something else for a little while, then I can come back to it with fresh eyes.

Say aloud "I am a writer" not "I want to write or I hope to be a writer." If you are at your keyboard typing away or using pen and paper, you are a writer.
