Going out into nature, walking next to a river, or just hanging out in a part is underrated. It's nice.

It's mostly about not always doing the same thing because... well.. we get bored of it. If we were walking next to the river every day, it'd get boring and mundane. If we went bungee jumping every day, same thing. Why is gaming different?

Just have some variance in life, and don't always feel like you "have to" enjoy something because you did in the past. Chances are you would like to do something else for a little bit. I can certainly say that doing other things like hanging out in nature, or with friends, or other various fun stuff (may or may not include others), has made playing games more fun again too.
