For me personally as someone who does design and illustration type work I go back to the things I fell in love with as a kid that got me into being creative. I look through old comic books/books old instruction manuals from tape and floppy video games, cartoons I have not looked at in a long time etc. I find it rekindles that old sort of excitement and newness of everything and reminds me I can try or do whatever I want.
I also go out into nature and disconnect from everything for awhile. I will walk through nature and constantly find things I have never seen before and draw inspiration from it. I find that really brings me back to the basics and allows me to clear my head.
