Do something pointless. Grab a sketchpad and a pack of pencils and draw. You can also do free writing, just start writing. If you feel the need to do something, do something.

I got a book on active imagination by Jung years ago, and I think there is merit to creating things for the sake of creation. It can be a reflective practice to figure out what unvoiced things are rattling around in your head, and it can loosen up the mind by occupying the hands.
