First and foremost- SLEEP WELL. A well-rested mind is key to creating, no matter the art form.
Second- Routine exercise. Even if it's only a few times a week, the body being in shape helps the mind to stay in shape, as well. You don't have to work toward looking like Thor or be in marathon runner shape for your body and mind to appreciate the hard work you're doing to be the best version of yourself possible.
Third, and finally- No matter what, just do it. It doesn't matter if you churn out 8,000 words of dog crap that ends up getting scrapped the next day, the simple act of creating will help the mind work past the invisible, creative roadblock and get you back on track.
