Every blogger has faced the dreaded blogger’s block at some point.

You sit down, ready to write a fantastic post, and suddenly your mind goes blank. Fear not, fellow bloggers! Here are 25 tried-and-tested ways to reignite your creativity and overcome that pesky block.

1. Take a “Photo” Walk

Grab your camera and go for a walk. Exploring your surroundings and snapping pictures can spark creativity and inspire new ideas. Occasionally I’ll take a photo walk through Sacramento and find a few views that refresh my imagination.

2. Catch Some Z’s

Are you feeling “unworthy” to write? Take a nap! A quick snooze can refresh your mind and get those creative juices flowing. Sometimes you’re feeling a block in writing simply because you’re tired.

3. Dine Out and Socialize

Head out to dinner and enjoy time with family and friends. Engaging in conversations can open your mind to new possibilities. Others allow you to see things from new perspectives and viewpoints.

4. Watch a Movie

Movies are a fantastic source of inspiration. Plots, visuals, and characters can all spark deep thinking. Even the sets and background objects will meditate in your mind and make you want to write about something new or exciting.

5. Tune into Music

Music is a gateway to the soul. Listen to your favorite tunes, and even try some new ones. Pay attention to lyrics—they can get your brain thinking in new ways.

6. Read Other Blogs

Browse through recent posts on your feed reader. Reading fresh content can help clear your mind and spark new thoughts.

7. Take a Shower

The shower is a mecca of creativity. Deep thinking while massaging your scalp? Yes, please! We all know the shower can be a deep well of inspiration.

8. Call a Long Lost Friend

Reconnect with someone you haven’t spoken to in years. Emotional conversations can bring new ideas to mind.

9. Change Your Clothes

Switching up your outfit can change your mindset. If you’re wearing bright colors, go dark, and vice versa.

10. Read a Book

Dive into a good book, fiction or non-fiction. It’s a fantastic way to develop creativity and strengthen your writing skills.

11. Go on Vacation

If you’ve been struggling with blogger’s block for a while, take a vacation. It will relieve stress and rejuvenate your writing brain.

Working out releases endorphins, leading to magical thoughts during a workout session. Time to dig up that old gym membership!

Pets help us connect with our softer sides. Relaxing with them can bring your mind back to base.

A short drive offers plenty of sights—people, animals, businesses, landmarks—all of which can spark your writing abilities.

15. Window Shop

Head to your local retail stores and window shop. Advertisements, antiques, memorabilia, and more can help clear your mind.

16. Stare at a Wall

It may not seem very interesting, but studying the details of a wall can make larger tasks seem simple.

17. Use the Keyword Questions Tool

Wordtracker Labs offers a valuable tool called the Keyword Questions tool. Plug in a keyword related to your blog niche and get a list of questions people ask online.

18. Clean Your Desk (or House)

Tidying up can lead to exciting discoveries—long-forgotten items that could inspire new posts.

19. Visit Twitter Search

Twitter’s search page lists the latest trends and offers insight into the human mind. Search your way to a new blog post idea.
