It is quite normal, everyone have ups and downs. And I believe that everybody is a little down on New Years days, simply because of pressure to summarize year. That's why we should summarize our years in May, it's much easier when everything is green - my humble opinion :)
To be honest, I noticed that you are not posting with same flame and same desire, and that's a reason why I pushed you into Seven B&W challenge - it's easy, you do not have to spend a lot of time preparing article, you do not have to think a lot about those articles and it can be nice way to rest your mind and still stay present at SteemIt on daily basis.

Take a rest, enjoy few day's of easy presence here and ideas will come ;)

PS. Srecna Slava i sve najbolje :)

Thank you so much for this comment!
I feel like stress is going away, I spent some time with friends and family which was great. Now I just need a couple of "me, myself and I" days, haha!
I started the B&W challenge and I agree with everything you said about it, I think I'll go back to "normal" by the time I complete this challenge!

Hvala puno! :D

I've just gone through the same thing @nikolina. I found myself with no motivation to do posts and had a break of a couple of months. I have now regained some of my drive and have a couple of projects I wish to pursue on Steemit so that will keep my interest going.

It sounds as if you have been a bit stressed just recently with preparations for the family celebration etc. All of your energies have gone into that and you're 'burnt out' a bit. For what it's worth my advice would be to forget all about Steemit for a while - at least until the holidays and New Year are out of the way. Maybe just pop in occasionally to see if things have changed but mainly use the time to recharge your creative battery. Perhaps do something completely different for a while and gain another perspective on other aspects of your life that may trigger ideas and enthusisum to start posting again.

Enjoy your holidays ( I'd be interested to hear about the specific Serbian holiday by the way) and have fun.

You are right, a lot of my energy went on family celebration and preparation. These days I spent some time with my family and friends, now I just need some time alone and I feel like I'll be ready to come back to Steemit with the same passion as before.
I won't force anything, we'll see how things will turn out. One thing is sure - I do love this platform and this community! :)
Thank you for your comment and for sharing your thoughts and experience! Happy holidays!

@nikolina, you are showing all symptoms of very creative person :) So, just except it's normal to give yourself so much and after some time nothing..You just need to regenerate your inspiration and energy :) Leave it be, look, listen or just do nothing and after a while everything will start again. Been there with my painting process and inspiration so many times :) When it happens to me I watch whole show season of some crime drama for two days :) Doing nothing is not so bad at all from time to time.
I ako se ne varam srecna slava!

It helps to know I'm not the only one. I accepted it and allowed myself some non-creative time until it hits me again. :) You just reminded me I could watch Elementary and be totally lazy this weekend, haha!
Hvala, sa zakasnjenjem! :)

makes perfect sense. I know it sucks going from 100 to basically 0. But I think that's human. We should allow ourselves to get lazy sometimes. Enjoy the holidays..Merry Christmas to you and your family

What I like about this challenge is that you don't have to write/explain anything, so the timing is perfect considering that my inspiration and creativity is not the best at the moment, haha!
Thanks for the nomination, once again! :D
