In loose connection to this post, here are some more creativity tips.
Surround yourself with art, people, objects and materials that inspire you. Trinket or pieces of art or music or even people that inspire you need to be around you all the time so that you remain creatively engaged.
Make your space in which you create highly flexible and usable. This could be having a whiteboard or mirror to ride on a desk with plenty of light and space to keep things on and a set of materials in which to write or type with.
Spend time in nature, the city and in your creative dwellings. Getting out of sad space and being amongst society or nature can really improve the creative spirit and engage in the muse.
Immerse yourself in your craft. Listen to albums of people that challenge and inspire you read books on the topic of your art play planning of Games whatever it may be to remain fully engaged.
Be positive about your art form and yourself. It's easy to be self deprecating when it comes to your creative output or a project that you're working on especially when talking with others but it is essential that you stay positive and passionate about the work that you do and not make jokes about it. Not only will people enjoy the passion but your headspace will remain positive.
Engaging in other modes of art. Spending time going to see movies going to see live music watching an inspiring video essay or reading a book about another topic can engage the subconscious mind in ways that are unintuitively productive.

Talk with other engagers of your practice. Whether this be fellow artists or patrons of art it's important to hear different perspectives and to hear what people think about art because it will help you engage your own mind and form your own creative opinions.
Use various modes and limitations within your art practice. The old outage of restriction allows creativity is very true. What is also true is finding new ways to create art within your very practice. This could include tools approaches or perspectives.
Keep up the work keep up the work keep up the work. Only by continuing in your work will it progress and will your passion and engagement and skills be kept alive. Little by little.
