Pull a joni mitchell and engage in arts that differ from your primary to inform it at a later time.
If you lean more toward visual arts try poetry, song writing, music making, acting/performances for the self, crochet, clay, claymation, videography, sound collection, whistling, discovering new sounds you can make etc.
Often when i want to create but i feel tired or uninspired i try to use still life or my surroundings— BUT If thats boring i ask myself a question and let my train of thought ramble -> connecting that rambling to my pen on paper
Honestly setting your inner critic to rest and creating things that are imperfect is actually incredible!
More often than not letting first drafts be final for a moment allows you to discover what you crave to create.

i guess this applies to anything artsy but i think if you're actively creating something, it's easier to look at the world around you and take it not just for what it is, but as inspiration, too. i've found that when i go outside, i pay more attention to the sights, smells, sounds (basically all my senses) (excluding taste) (unless i'm eating) and try to put words to it and come up with new ideas. for example, one of my favorite not-that-bad lines i've written for a song was, "the misty air made drops in her hair like pearls on a string," and that's literally just because i saw it happen and worked with that visual info in my mind lol. so i think looking back on memories that inspired lines like that does make life a lot more whimsical :D

Fran Drescher is a timeless style icon. A sexy appeal that wasn't too much in your face and yet still possesed that allure.

Film needs to make a comeback. Dark rooms, chemicals, film reels.
I know polaroids are common nowadays but lets bring back disposable cameras, 35mm pocket cams, kodak developing centers at cvs.
(Polaroid I took at a photoshoot 5 years ago.)
