I've been practicing the art of acceptance. It's really frustrating when something's not working out the way you want it to. Sometimes, you have to accept that. You don't have to like it or agree with what's happening but acceptance teaches you not to waste energy fighting against it. Accept it for now and work around it.
I usually have several projects on the go at any one time, so if one piece of writing isn't flowing, I can switch to something else. Sometimes more research helps, or just doing something else all together, like going for a walk or doing some gardening. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. Berating yourself for not writing enough isn't helpful.
