I'm in the same boat--I decided to get back into writing and when I sit down, I have nothing. It's like my creativity died when I acquired my cube job.
So far, what's been recommended the most to me are some of the suggestions above: 1.) surround yourself with creative people 2.) write / create every day regardless of whether you feel inspired or not. Everything you create isn't going to be fantastic and you've got to be willing to deal with the good and the bad 3.) set aside the time for it. If you can set aside time to watch TV / play games / whatever, you can make time for your creative side.
That's about all the tips I've received so far. I have found that reading a good book / watching an amazing movie inspires me because it generates my emotions (which I believe were my inspiration when I was younger).
I think as we get older, we become numb to a lot due to our life experiences.
