Try another movement – raise an arm, touch your head, point to the ceiling; then re-start
Change direction: if you can’t move forward, try stepping sideways first, and then go forward
Carry a laser pointer in your pocket; when you freeze – shine the laser in front of your foot and step on the light – this visual cue can help you re-start.
Visualize an object on the ground in front of you and try to step over it.
Wear a metronome on your belt or carry a small one in your pocket – turn it on and the external beat can help you re-start.
Try humming a song and time your re-start with the beat of the music
Count “1-2-3-go” and then step forward
Shift your weight from side to side to help initiate taking a step
March in place a few times and then step forward
Don’t fight the freeze by trying harder to step forward – shift your attention from moving the legs to moving the arms – then resume walking forward

Sort of, I count as I walk, or decide to take say six steps, then pause! Thank you for the suggestion
