Taking the Day off

Even the most famous of authors and writers need a day off at times.  As much as I love writing, sometimes I need to have a day off from it.  I've needed to take a day off completely from all things writing (blogging included), to give my mind a break.  I feel the intense pressures to get certain things completed or make it to a certain deadline, that oftentimes, I forget to add in days off in order to give my mind a break.  Just like your normal 9-5, you're entitled to give yourself off days in your writing journey.


For someone who enjoys writing so much, the struggle for me personally comes when I try to figure out what to do on my day off from writing!  Usually, writing or blogging is what I like to do to unwind from my regular job, so when I am taking a day off from both, I truly don't know what to do, lol!  I have found that reading, meditation, yoga, exercising, etc. are some of the thins I enjoy doing, so I try to do those things on my off days.  It also helps keep my creative juices flowing even when I'm not writing, so I don't lose any steam.


Let me hear from you; when you have an off day from all things writing, what do you like to do?
