Goodreads asked Pearl R. Meaker:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Pearl R. Meaker Rather poorly much of the time. ;-)

That said, going and finding a writers challenge site, finding a challenge that will fit your characters and write a short story from that. Or, just writing any short story from it. I think it jiggles things around in your head and plus it's just plain fun. Fun helps to get rid of blocks.

Take a day or two off. I mean off. Don't do anything that relates to your story or writing. Take walks. Go to a mall or someplace where it's easy to just wander around. Go out for lunch with a friend. Go to a park or inexpensive tourist attraction you've never been to before. Give yourself some new experiences.
