Another practical thing to do while "nothing is happening" is to return to something in which you have demonstrated mastery or at least competence. I don't know what you're trying to draw now that isn't coming along for you, but maybe you're trying to re-join the full marathon without doing some mental sit-ups and stretches.
If you can't draw a 3/4 portrait profile right now, so what? Try a chair or a teapot. If that falls over or leaks, try a side-lit sphere, or try randomly stacking three or four cubes (kids' alphabet blocks) and drawing those. Find that place where you're able to keep pace for a while until you get your wind back, and I think you'll be back on track quickly.
Give yourself a break. Even minor surgery commands the body's entire attention, just as do stress and fatigue and heartache. Let the healing process run its natural course.
Don't take "nothing" literally. Something IS happening.
