What you are going thru is something normal for every person and for every artist or musician. Dont think that you are losing your playing or writting or music motivation, its just that when someone is into something for very long or 4 too much time it starts to feel like a job, and thats why every person has the right to have vacations, otherwise everyone would collapse and feel depressed.

Take your time off and do something else that you like or have not done so often,,, take some vacation from your music life 2,,, it will help you take music as something beautifull and ejoyable and not as a bourden. That sooner or later it happens to almost every musician. Inspiration comes when your attitude is willing and not tired, it comes when you see something new, when you feed your mind with rest and other activities. Good luck,, and dont feel depressed,, cheer up man.

Get distracted for a while, then come back to it.

You probably should take a couple weeks off and don't pick up the guitar at all. Then come back to it you will have alot of ideas streaming.

It happens to the best of us. Take a break from it, like everone is saying.

Try scheduling performances somewhere: karaoke, talent shows, weddings, etc. It'll give you a reason to work.

Checking out a good show might motivate you too.
