Well try and think positively, and if you enjoy what you do this should come naturally. If your never in the mood maybe that's telling you something?

You will probably need a rest and get some content idea. That is the great one so you will be back in mood creating videos.

i mean the video i made 2 weeks ago or something like that was filler content tbh. and idk because if i take break i fear that i might lose the views i have on some videos. and also i do have a video that has been on the idea board for a minute and ive been basically waiting to do it.

Youtube can be disheartening. Trust me, I've been there. Multiple times. I've gone 4 months at a time without uploading any content. It's especially difficult when you are a smaller channel and you're not really seeing any reward for your effort. I can say that persistence seems to pay off a bit. Persistence and high quality content. And a good eye catching thumbnail. And some steller SEO incorporated into your tags, title, and description. And doing a lot of research on what is being searched for the most within the genre you've chosen to make content for. You may not see stellar results right away, but give it a bit of time. Continue doing all of the above and you will start to see the views and subscribers growing, which in turn, should motivate you keep making videos.

Good luck!

Whenever I record a video, I think of it as 'me time', a time for me to wind down after school and just grind out some editing and videos for the week.
 
I can relate to you , I have to be in the mood to record a video , it stopped being enjoyable knowing i won't be able to ever monetise my videos because of youtubes new rules as I can never hit over 100 watch time hours and i need 4,000 no way i would ever hit that

i mean i dont really do youtube to make money tbh i wont hit 100 watch time hours even if i do hit 1k subs which will never happen no i will reach i 4k watchtime hours tho however its enjoyable to me its just that if i dont upload daily and btw i was almost uploading daily until i was running out of content to post so i said look im taking a break until i get some videos done and so far i have 2 out 3 left .

If you feel like you have to force yourself to record something when you really don't want to, maybe you should take a break, and try again when you feel like it. But I enjoy what I do which is why I'm usually in the mood to do it. It's the editing that I've gotten lazy with over the years. I am often not in the mood to edit. But if I don't do it, no videos come out. And I don't really trust anyone else to do it for me.

i mean i normally rush my Edits and recording its slowly getting easier just Putting out a video isn't because i Sometimes forget and get Frustrated.
