"Write" for 1/2 and hour every day. Preferably in the morning if you can or late at night. It doesn't have to be structured. Record the entire session.
There's nothing wrong with forcing it. Listen back after a few days or a week or two weeks. I bet you find something you like that you can now work off of. Also, read this ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Artist%27s_Way It may seem like some new age BS but it's not.

Hi Cael!
I do those things that said in the last part of the post. It's so powerful to listen to new music and analyze songs. I can add going to live concerts and watching youtube channels like Rick Beato's. I try to make music every day, I do it as en exercise. I don't use most of this stuff, but there always appears something cool if I force myself to write. I compose music without judging it, I do it and I enjoy it. One weird thing that has helped me in the past is to "borrow" drums from songs and work on riffs and song parts over it. It seems that well produced and arranged drums inspire me more to create music. Then, I re-arrange this drums. I remember reading something inspiring about Julian Lage, that I also tried with great results. "9. Compose a lot, edit a lot When asked about his approach to composing, Julian said that he loved to write with pencil and paper. He thinks of composition like a blueprint. He doesn’t have perfect pitch so sometimes when he writes, it doesn’t sound the way he imagined it. He noted that he spends a lot more time editing his compositions that writing them. He also challenges himself to compose 20 songs in a day so that if he gets one good song from that session, it would be worth it. According to Julian, he throws out a lot more songs than he ever uses. " -------------------- My lessons

I usually get a new plugin (demo) or some bit of kit that sorta moves me in a new direction. Just hearing different and unexpected tones tends to do it for me.
