SOME GOOD OLD ART ADVICE FROM ME.
As an artist saying you've ran out of inspiration is bad because inspiration is literally everywhere around you, the only one stopping you is YOU.
That's all art block is, you telling yourself you can't do something because your clouding your own mind with obstacles preventing you from thinking when the answer was right In front of your face all along.
So the real question is what's stopping YOU from seeing that answer?

I get that you‘re going for a motivational, fitness coach kinda approach here but if you‘re putting it that way it just assumes the reader is all pitying themselves not trying to get out of the funk instead of recognizing that someone who struggles to create sure has tried a lot of things and methods before concluding that maybe right now is more of a creative low happening

Thats quite the „If you‘re depressed just go outside“ mentality. Of course everything around me should be inspirating me. But me saying I am having trouble getting inspired is not keeping myself away from the inspiration but it is the conclusion I draw from having no artistic feeling or ideas of interpretation for my surroundings. I think the substantially better advice is to let go of forcing „creativity“ during an inspiration low and getting back to studying technique and observe and draw the real world instead of not drawing at all.
