These are all terrific advice. You should write a book. (I'm not entirely joking here; you've got excellent insights.)
bathe frequently and get enough sleep. You'll feel more confident.
And exercise. I'm amazed at how fast my optimism dries up when I don't.
Should you find yourself in a space where things just aren't happening and you see no way forward, either shake them up in some way, or use the dead time to read Dostoevsky or lift a lot of weights or go on long walks in places where you've never been.
I think sometimes you just have a fallow period, a time when your task is to collect new information, or to quietly let your subconscious work on what you've already collected. In my case the difficulty is being able to tell the difference between that and just being lazy.
