I personally find myself going through this with most aspects of my life.  I have lulls at work where I&#x27;m less than 100% excited about the work at hand, and then after a while I&#x27;m back in top shape, but I now find it normal when the lulls occur.<p>It happens to me for most other hobbies as well.  I enjoy working out a lot, but there are times where I just don&#x27;t feel super excited about it, for like lets say a month or so, and I have to put in a lot of will-power to get to the gym.  So I do basically what you do here as well, try different kind of workouts, etc., with varying results and that helps sometimes.<p>I think at the end of the day it&#x27;s really hard to maintain that level of passion for something that you do day in day out.  You just have to accept the downtime and know that it will pass in a bit.  At least that&#x27;s my take on it.<p>Edit: right after I posted I was reminded of a quote lifters use often: &quot;motivation gets you in the gym, as it&#x27;s fleeting, but discipline keeps you coming back&quot;.  I think the same applies here, to some extent.
