You may consider retraining your brain on why you're doing creative hobbies. For a long time, I know you were feeling vastly unfulfilled in your program/career, and you had a lot of life things you needed a major outlet from. Your hobbies (even the ones you had been doing before all that) were a way to help you survive, then to feel accomplished and engaged to make up for what your professional life lacked.
You don't have that as much anymore, because you have a more stable personal life and a program/developing career that fits your talents and inclinations much better. It's still not necessarily that you no longer need creative hobbies, but that your reason for doing them now has changed somewhat. So it might take finding a new reason or goal for whatever creative thing you're wanting to do?
