My Method

I did the following things to overcome a writer's block:

Break

Sometimes you need a break from the work. Taking a break will re-fill your energy and motivation to work again. You can take a walk, chat with your friends or anything. This break can go up to 2-3 days depending on the situation. But make sure, you don't get used to breaks.

I took the break and went to spend quality time with my friends. Spending time with my friends energies me. We also went for walks.

Read

Reading articles of other authors will inspire you to write again. It will also keep your mind engaged with other stuff. You can read articles, books, novels, etc. whatever you like.

During the period, I read various articles along with a book. The book I read was Rumours of Spring: A Girlhood in Kashmir. Great book about Kashmir and you connect with the author.

Write Anything (but less)

One thing that you should do during this period is write anything but break it into small fractions. You do not have to write for hours just write for 5 minutes or even less. Writing little will help you in initializing the motivation for writing. Write whatever you like, you don't have to stick with your work. You can write about your day, things you want, about life, your imperfect thoughts, or anything you always wanted to write.

I used to write topics for my articles. Just topics nothing more. I also started writing a summary of the book I had read.

All this things has worked for me and I was able to back at writing.
