For all creative people, the well gets low sometimes. (Ever hear of writer's block?)

That's when you put down the pen/guitar/paintbrush and go forth in search of that which inspires.

As others have said, go do things that bring you joy, wonder, connection, fulfillment. After a few days or maybe a week you'll feel a pull to play again.

You may be hitting a plateau. These can go on for months and it can severely shake your confidence. Resist the urge to pack it in at these times. A plateau often precedes a big growth spurt.
