Funk. It happens to everyone. The degree of funk is of real concern. When I get in a funk, about anything, I might turn off the computer and walk away. I might go to the beach, do some snorkeling, go bowling. Breaking the funk routine is easy, just insert some fun or relaxation. Take in a sunset. When I get in a writing funk, I tend to explore other's writings for inspiration and ideas. At least it works for me. And to affirm... be careful with overly high aspirations. Affirmations will do no good for extremely lofty goals. Short-term goals are used to achieve long-term goals, and sometimes we just need to inject some intermediaries in-between the short-term goals. Hope this helps.
