I don't do NaNoWriMo but I have taught a workshop during it to help folks get that 50K out.

Here's a tip for today.

If you think you are stuck, you aren't. Just skip to another scene.

There is no one reading this over your shoulder.

There is no Great Big Mean Writer's Rule that says you must write the book in order. Many famous bestsellers write scenes as they come and then piece them back in later.

So stop worrying about being stuck. Leave that scene where it is. Start another one.
