Im sure everybody has those times where theyre just not inspired enough to do any serious work on the guitar or one feels theyre playing has 'plateaued' and theyre waiting to pass this 'plateau'.
If the feeling of lack of progress is because of of lot of technique training, then you need to take a few days off, so the hands can recover.
If its generally a feeling of boredom with it, i guess it could be helped by either seeing or listeing to something really inspiring, trying to compose, meeting another guitarist or just doing something else.
Sometimes you can get that feeling that the energy is gone, from putting too high goals for yourself, then just play anything for fun, flamenco or not doesnt matter.
I usually try to imitate songlines with the guitar when i feel like that, some things are easy to imitate, other times it sounds hilarious and make me fall off the chair laughing, but it gets me in a more 'playful' mood.
Another way is trying out different voicings and harmonized scales over a loop.
