I try not to deal with it by heading for the cookie jar.
Sometimes I find that I can write may way through a block--just keep writing, I call it "blabbing away." Usually it turns out better than I thought or I can use what I wrote elsewhere.
Or I focus on another part of the story I'm working on or another project for awhile.
Or I go for a walk. This works when I'm blocked because I've been pushing too hard. I quit thinking about it consciously and enjoy the walk.
