Having art block does not mean you are lazy. It is a complicated and deep thing. There can be any number of things causing it.
Having artist block is often a form of fear.
The fear of how people will react to your creations.
Fear of failure
Fear of success.
Fear of how people judge artists. Many people think that being an artist is a waste of your life. This is especially frightening when your family or friends think these things. And even more so if that person has a strong influence on your life (like some parents).
People in this position spend their energy on the wrong things: Regret, jealousy, self-loathing, and doubt.
So we have to try to turn that energy into something constructive, and not as anxiety-causing.
But also, when someone is blocked and fearful, it gets them sympathy. And that sympathy can make them feel good.
Don't get too attached to the sympathy. It's much better to make something for other people to see and love. That's a more positive energy to receive than sympathy.
In the end, remember what Elsa teaches us!
Love melts the fear~
