I'm kinda climbing out of one as well. One thing sounds strangely esoteric, but I've found it very useful for my creativity to just take breaks from the constant input barrage the internet can offer. It feels like those beat down the much more silent voices of motivation and creativity for me. I've found the most creativity just hanging out in a hammock on my balcony looking at the sky for an hour. Maybe softly listening to some music I like. Or just sitting near one of the rivers, or in a park for an hour watching some squirrels or a bunch of bumblebees. Just don't do anything and be with nature. This does get somewhat boring for a minute and there's some craving for consuming for more stuff on the internet, but shortly afterwards, my brain starts to think creatively about stuff. The last time, it led to some realizations about better and stronger character building in my novels, and created a number of really good characters and how to continue there. Or an idea of what I could build in Cities Skylines, or Minecraft, and suddenly there is some motivation to play these games, instead of just mindless bumbling through them. And sure, maybe I've been thinking about one character now for a week, and that feels slow, but it's good progress. And on the other part, I'm looking to change the understanding of my anxiety as a superpower in preparation and contingency, and started to throw myself into a bunch of activities that have nothing to do with work. First a metal festival, a concert 1-2 weeks ago. It's quite incredible how just these two things have lifted by baseline mood, which makes it a lot easier to do other things good for me instead of moping them away.
