By not believing in it. Waking up at dawn, listening to soul-inspiring music, and holding pen to paper, is all I need to be quiet and listen to the voice that uses me as a vessel to write.
Other useful activities are walking in nature, meditating, reading good books or articles, listening to musicians that open up something within through which we can pour wisdom out. Imaginative and creative works of any type trigger us to focus on our own process.
A blockage often has to do with fear and fear indicates a form of self-obsession. Focus on others and how you can help rather than preoccupy yourself with criticism and your own shame. You can do it.

Write when you wake up. Your mind is at its sharpest. I am a night owl, but morning sessions have proven most effective. I suggest you write when you wake up and leave night-time for notes, inspirations, and meditation on your work in progress. Do not think of the entire book. Outline, write down the intention of the work so you don't deviate from it. Write your ending, so you know what you are working towards. It helped me to designate a place for writing, so my mind is conditioned to work once I sit there. Get an accountability partner. You need fear and deadlines to finish. Do not announce work before completed. Energies affect your work, and the early congratulations tell your mind you are done before you actually are. Do not reward your ego before it's time. Work quietly. Create interesting characters, and make sure every single one of them is written well. No one cares for under-written characters. They drive the story. Have fun!!!
