Tips to improve the conceptual mind?
I've been in a serious slump this year and I feel like all my creative energy has been sucked dry, this is stressing me out and in turn affecting my work, my designs are not up to standard.
what motivates you to try harder rather than just cranking out basic designs so that you can get paid and how do you keep your brain working?

Read good literature
Branch out to unfamiliar territory eg. architecture, modern dance, history
Set up a restricting set of rules for yourself and push those boundaries to the max
Piece together the narrative of what design has been over the years and where it's headed

This is so important. Don't think that because you're a designer you have to restrict yourself to studying visual art and design for inspiration - ideas can come from literally anywhere, and you never know where you might find some little spark of information and creativity that can be applied to your work.
Go read about Mesopotamian history, watch a documentary on WW2 factories, go to a Renaissance Fair, take a walk in the woods and just look at how a bird interacts with a tree.

or drugs.

I play a lot of games and lift weights when I need a mental recharge.
