It happend to me, I don't know how much time I stoped animating but when I came back I felt nervous, thinking that my skills would be shit, but it didn't happen If its not your case then revise the concepts and start over man just don't be afraid of opening pivot again

Well, assuming that you aren't completely over pivot, the best way to get back at animating because you want to is to do anything but try to get back at animating. Like when I stopped animating, I kept trying to get back at it and it just seemed more and more like a chore or something that I just was obligated to do. But after taking a long break and doing other things I began to miss animating for fun so I eventually just came back.... And Getting inspiration from animations like ddc11 or Dojodemon.


So don't rush it man. You might have been making it seem like work and thats why it hurts to open up Pivot. Or you could ya know.... be over it forever. But you better not be tho cuz ur bae. (Pls come back we need to joint. D:)

If you feel forced, don't do it. Take your time. If you start thinking about ideas which kind of inspire you should try to hold them and think about them when you open pivot.
Everyone has it's ups and downs.

I also like to start randomly drawing and try aslong until I am getting used to spin the pencil again.

Also, try different type of programs/styles. I might start doing some more pixel/SNES like graphic and animations. Currently practicing on one character I designed at the military. It looks like this: http://imgur.com/N0nmEbd

Also, try drawing. Or sketch up some storyboard for animations or stuff like that. (http://imgur.com/mIS38Z4 you can do the same with a stickman. Just remember to take your time, do it when you feel like it, don't put pressure on your skills, and go with the flow.)
