Just take the break.

I think we all go through that. I know I do..... everything from songwriting to playing the instruments I have. Something should ignite the spark again after a brief respite from the instrument or task. When you come back to it, you should have a new enthusiasm to go into new territory.

Some of my more interesting songs have been written when I take a break and then come back recharged.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
