2 things I tell myself
when I’m feeling down…
1. Keep shooting. It’s ok if your pictures suck; they’ll get better if you keep shooting. It’s when you stop that you need to worry.
2. Keep the creative act separate from the critical act. In other words, don’t listen to the judger while shooting or thinking about shooting.

I did stop shooting and completely rely on my wife for photos. I think I took a dozen shots all year. Long gone are the days of shooting from anywhere. I just don’t want to anymore.

I think those are very good things to tell yourself.
