When faced with a blockage, stay resting in action. Whether a block serves as an obstacle to something or merely the apparent lack of flow into another medium, keep momentum through switching tasks. Action and movement beget action and movement and as such, one would be better served switching to another set of actions in the meantime than to allow such obstacle to stop us in our paths completely. If the art is taking longer than ideal to manifest, then go off and do chores, or other objectives for the day and come back with even more momentum to hit the block with. Use other actions as the run up to beget a breakthrough. Sitting still from an obstacle serves the obstacle only. There is plenty more to be done and that can be done before even coming to the opportunity of stillness via an obstacle. Keep moving.
Meditate.
