We all hit that time when we just can't write about anything at a given time. You must be thinking, "uh oh, looks like my brain hit a black racing flag and its headed for the pitstop". That being said, our brain is like a high performance racing car. Like all racing cars it could also experience problems and setbacks along the way. No race car is exempt from a low fuel supply or worn out tires just like our brain is not exempt from things that would possibly slow down, or possibly even damage it. How do we do a "tire change" with our brain? Here are some examples to refresh our creative and logical functions.
First of all, try working at a different place. If you have a laptop, go to a place like a park or a rooftop of a building. New information always stimulates our brain to be more active. Not only does it refresh our minds, but it also gives us more ideas to possibly inspire us. Another idea is to work at intervals. If you have been working for, say, an hour, always make sure that you have a 5-10 minute break for each or that you work. This gives your mind time to refresh for another hour of working. This method buys you more time before stress seeps in and blocks your creativity and keeps you working like a well oiled machine. Lastly, keep reading! Sometimes people recycle the same thoughts and words over and over again until they exhaust the ways to use it. Read as much as you and when you see a word you don't understand, look it up and start using it.
Writer's block doesn't only affect writers. It can affect all of us whenever we do creative work like drawing, writing songs and so on. Just learn to keep your mind running like an efficient F-1 engine and you'll have no problems reaching the checkered flag.
