I'll read a book or two. I try to pick something totally different to give my mind a break.
Also, I noticed if I do something really physically active, I feel better. I come back, sit my butt down and write some more. Even if it doesn't start out exactly the way I want it. I write anyway. After some time I tend to have a break through and I can go back and change up whatever I feel didn't work.(less)

“People—our dads, our moms, our friends—they are so broken they don’t even know that most of what they do reflects that brokenness. They just hurt whoever is in their wake. They don’t sit and think about what their hurt is doing to us. Pain makes humans selfish. Blocked off. Focused inward instead of outward”
