[QUOTE="YOTHR, post: 25356205, member: 143785"]I think that's something completely natural. I think every hobby goes through a phase (or even several) where you lose interest and ‘run out of steam’. Sometimes it's due to a partnership that takes over - or the children - or building a house - or the job. But sometimes you just need a break. I think it's very important in a phase like this that you don't force yourself to do anything! You won't miss out on anything! Put your coins to one side. Do other things. Clear your head. Sometimes you make the mistake of forcing things. You make yourself feel guilty ‘but I HAVE to like collecting coins!’. Compulsion usually only leads to more frustration and rejection. Just take a break. The coins won't be angry with you. At some point, you'll get a new impetus on your own and enjoy devoting yourself to your hobby again.[/QUOTE]
