how do you lift yourself out of a creative slump?

i'm going through a phase where i feel totally uninspired-by myself!  i can't seem to take a picture that thrills me, or cook a recipe that makes me giddy, or come up with an idea that really inspires me.  i'm chugging along producing work that i stand behind but i want to GET EXCITED about something, you know?  any tips for getting inspired, or re-inspired?  what do you do when you feel just sort of meh about your creative work?  HELP!
