In my experience one cannot force motivation or inspiration. If you feel neither of those things, then it is a sign you are not yet in alignment with the action you would like to be taking. Align yourself with what you want, and you will find motivation and inspiration arise naturally as positive side effects.
Also, in my opinion, confidence can be built from the inside out by working on yourself, your beliefs and issues and raising your vibration
or from the outside in by working on your song writing, putting yourself out there while allowing feedback from other musicians and listeners and by cultivating your musical craft like working on technique, solfège, etc.
The two approaches to building confidence go hand in hand. In order to be emotionally healthy, joyful and successful, you'll have to cultivate both.
