I love this question! heres a few things I return to for inspiration.
Jim Jarmusch‘s Paterson to remember the small beauty in creating every day, for yourself if nothing else.
All of Mitski’s live performances, (and all her records tbh) to find the balance between raw vulnerability and studied theatrics.
Mary Oliver’s poems (especially wild geese) to remember the joy amidst pain.
Sylvia Plath’s poems (especially Lady Lazarus) to see how one’s own wallowing can become shared catharsis when turned into art (making work isn’t selfish even when its about ourselves).
Kelly Link’s short stories to find weirdness and playfulness (not everything has to have a moral or deeper meaning).
