How to overcome writer's block

Every writer has at one point or the other been faced with the cruel feeling of being stuck, not knowing the next sentence or the next scene to create or to put down into writing. In my short, lackadaisical experience of writing, I have had my own fair  share of this cruel, life altering, and confusing moments. With each experience of blank thoughts and unproductive exercises that I have had, I have built a shortlist  of activities that can help to at least fill in time or at most help to overcome writer's block.


-Go for a walk... Short walks help to clear out junk thoughts and rejuvenate the  creative thought process and kickstart the writing process.
-Take a nap: This is of course my favourite activity. First and foremost, it relaxes the brain and makes it easier to restart the creative part of the brain when awake. Secondly, it's napping!!!, what other activity can be as awesome as that.
-Write about the writer's block.
-Finish old unfinished write-ups and articles.
-If none of the above helps in any way; it means a drastic action needs to be taken. In this instance, the form of drastic action that I often choose to take is to take a break  from any form of writing. How this helps I can't really ascertain, but let's face it time passes, so the writer's block is definitely going to pass. "Time heals all wound" remember?
-Finally, If all of the above still refuses to work, then the last call of action is to come up with an article or a write-up teaching other writer's how to overcome their own writer's block.
