This is so back handed but for me it works. I force myself to do something like deep cleaning, yard work or cleaning the garage and oh, my goodness quilting becomes so much more interesting! I am not trying to be flipant becuase I know that anything that happens to distract your from your passion must be taken seriously. I just works for me to take on a task that I really don't like to do and my quilting all of a sudden becomes so much more relaxing, interesting and fun again.
