Overcoming Writer’s Block: It’s Not About the Words

Feb 24

Written By Mysta Re

It’s about the energy behind them.

We’ve all been there…

You sit down to write.
The screen is blank.
You’ve got things to say, ideas to share — but nothing wants to move.

Writer’s block.
But what if I told you…
it’s not the words that are blocked — it’s the channel.

Writer’s Block Isn’t a Problem. It’s a Signal.

It’s your mind, body, and spirit saying:

“Something needs your attention before we can flow.”

Sometimes it’s emotional — fear of being seen.
Sometimes it’s physical — tension, exhaustion, dehydration.
Sometimes it’s spiritual — a misalignment between your truth and what you think you should say.

Whatever it is, the solution isn’t to push harder.
It’s to get curious.

Here Are 5 Ways to Move Through Writer’s Block with Compassion & Power:

1. Do a MEPS Check

(Yes — that sacred daily ritual.)

Mind – Are your thoughts racing or cloudy?
Emotions – What are you feeling, and are you letting yourself feel it?
Physical – Have you moved, stretched, hydrated, or eaten?
Spiritual – Are you connected to your inner voice or disconnected from source?

Sometimes clarity comes from just naming where you are.

2. Write What’s True, Not What’s Perfect

Forget the finished product.
Forget the audience.
Start with:

“Right now, I feel…”
“I don’t know what to say, but…”

The block breaks when honesty flows.
Clarity comes later.

3. Change Your State Before You Create

Energy comes before expression.

Try:

Going for a walk
Dancing to one song
Breathwork
Taking a shower
Free-writing with no purpose

Your body is the bridge. Move it, and the channel opens.

4. Talk Instead of Write

If the words won’t come through your hands, try your voice.
Open a voice memo and just speak your truth.
No filter. No performance.

You’ll be surprised how much clarity lives in your spoken flow.

5. Give Yourself Permission to Pause

Sometimes the block is a divine invitation to REST.
Not everything needs to be birthed right now.
Not every message is ready to be delivered today.

Honor the silence.
Let the pause be part of the process.
Then return — clearer, softer, more aligned.

Final Word

Writer’s block doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means something deeper is asking to be heard.
And when you listen — not judge — the words return with more power, more truth, more you.

So next time you hit a wall, remember:

You’re not blocked.
You’re becoming. ✨
