I've fallen into slumps, and it can be hard to get out of them. However, what worked for me was putting my sights on something new, sometimes related sometimes not. I found I'm better at devops stuff, and it's more interesting to me than building CRUD services.
You might try deep diving into Linux. Buying a book and studying for the RHCSA is a great way to get started with an achievable and valuable goal (disclaimer: I work for Red Hat and have the RHCSA). It is mostly applicable to all Linux, maybe 5 to 10% is RH specific.
I also bought some Great Courses on philosophy and that has been stimulating. I can highly recommend the courses from David Kyle Johnson.
You may also try starting a new project. That is the best way I've found to really learn BE/FE. Elixir is an incredibly fun language, and it's gaining traction. Get the Dave Thomas book first, then the Chris McCord Phoenix book. Being at Google there's probably lots of great people to ask for advice too.
Just my thoughts. I'm no expert at this, just sharing what worked for me.
