Experiencing writers block while you are working could mean that you need to clear your mind of other thoughts, worries and feelings.

There are several methods many writers use to thwart writers block.

Methods to Overcome Writers Block - 1. Take a Walk: Shut down your computer, put your notebook and pens away. Get your shoes on and talk a walk outside

for at least ten minutes. This can help you get out of your office for a little while. 2. Meditation:

Practicing meditation on a regular basis (at least once a day for twenty minutes each time) has countless benefits.

It can help you better deal with stress and anxiety, as well as think clearer.

Take a moment in a nice, peaceful place to meditate. Achieve concentrated relaxation by focusing on an object or a sound.

3. Read: Take a time out to read something you enjoy, whether it be a magazine, newspaper or book.

Reading is a writer's way of study anyway, but by reading someone else's writing

you can take your mind off of what you have to write and help you when you return to your work.

4. Journal: Keep a journal. You don't have to write in it every day,

but when you get too overwhelmed it can be nice to have a place to write where you know no one will ever read it.

Write about whatever you want, and just vent all of your frustrations. This can help clear your mind. 5. Get Out: Sometimes freelance writers can feel confined to their homes.

If you can (if you work on a laptop) take it outside or to your local café to get into a different scenery.
