How to overcome creative block?
I really want to create *something* but don't know what exactly.

Where your fear is, there your task is
Go write about creator’s block. Draw a weird surreal entity or monster symbolising creator’s block. Go psychoanalyse creator’s block and dissect it to death and explain how it happens.

The art of improvisation is the joker of the arts. The best way I could describe it now would be like this: Think about something you'd really like to see, anything, it can be boobs or a rock, and in your mind mold the idea into an increasingly unrecognizable abstraction until something unique is achieved. Keep repeating the process until satisfied. For example if you want to create a story with the boobs theme, you could come up with someone whose boobs keep growing in size for apparently no reason, to the point other forces have to intervene and it scales, starting with the arrival of an unknown agent that was sent on a mission to stop this since his boss knew about the potential events beforehand, but it goes wrong, to the entire army spotting an unrecognizable potential hazard growing in the skies etc. You can take this absurd idea and traslate it into animation, music, or whatever you want to make. Now you try to come up with why the tits were growing in the first place, or whatever you wanna bring attention to idk. The unwritten rule is to not care too much about the result, but put in love during the process and do as your heart pleases.

i like jung but i have no real fears, i dont feel?
that said, mens sana in corpore sano. i create only when i can feeel my muse
if im too uptight or my body unrelaxed, no-thing goes.
maybe you should try to relax, lay back treat yourself with a pause, a vacation or a massage
while relaxed that "thing" might even naturally come to you

You have the desire to walk but no real destination to go.

And in my unimportant opinion, I think you should hold onto that energy and use it to experience or consume culture.

By 'culture,' you can go for the mass-produced plastic bland products that are made purely for entertainment and then to be forgotten or go to the works that are a bit hidden but that they resonate with you specifically.

Inspiration can come from everywhere, but it doesn’t lie anywhere.

A creative block is when you normally create X kind of content, but are having temporary trouble. Lkke writers block.

A creative block isn't when you just like the idea of being creative, but aren't and have no creativity.

Honestly, what helps me out when I want to draw but cannot think of anything is to free form draw while listening to something instrumental and complex or ambient such as jazz, math rock, classical, or IDM. This puts me out of my head and away from expectations which hinder my creativity.

Literally just put on your favourite music/podcast/audiobook and start making stuff at random as you go
