Safe ice by me tomorrow, which is rare.
I used to go ice fishing different lakes many weekends, for many years. Then life decided to show its ugly head, I stopped, and then I just lost the desire altogether.
What do I do to relight the warrior spirit in me?

Go out and feel the tug when one gives your bait a go. So much fun. It’s tough getting out there when you’re not 100% committed but at the end it’s always worth it.
Take a break, you might have burnt yourself out over the years. If that’s not the case maybe try going out with some friends so that way even if you don’t catch anything you’ll at least have a great time with your buddies
In no order:
Try to take somebody new to the sport
I have one lake that’s almost always guaranteed to have a lot of flags to chase, even if it’s small pike it’s fun running to the flags.
Target different species
Go for less time. I find that long days without lots of action become a grind and kill the spirit.
Go with friends and don’t take it seriously.
