What usually works for me is, to step away a bit from whatever I'm unmotivated of. If it's work you're unmotivated with, it can be hard. But if you can, step away for a little bit, take a walk, go to the beach, exercise, learn something new, and treat yourself to pizza and a film or whatever your pleasures might be.
If it's recurring:
Maybe consider a change, you might want to move on to something new which motivates you more. And if the issue still persists, it might be a syptom of some kind of health issue (I'm no health profesional so don't take my word on this).
Prioritize your health over anything else, thatps what's important in the end!
I hope you re-gain motivation! And remember you're not alone!
Find a hobby that distracts you from the thing that doesn't motivate you.
In my case, I've been dealing with spikes of low motivation at work. What I was advised to do was things that make me feel fulfilled: writing a diary, drawing, reading, going for a walk, even social work or volunteering.
When I'm feeling motivation is going really low, I grab a pen, my diary and start writing whatever comes to mind. It's liberating, relaxing, and I don't feel bad because I didn't waste any time. It was time invested on myself.
This is a programming community so I suppose you code. It's ok to not have side projects or to work fewer hours a day. It's not sustainable to be coding 40 hours a week.
Just enjoy your life. If you put all your thinking into only working or achieving something, you might just end up feeling burnt out. You need to find a way every day to enjoy your life and count your blessings.
Take a break and focus on your mental health do stuff that you are passionate about that makes you happy. And then find your spark and reignite that fire inside of you.
I have a few ways to do it:
Remember that I need to work now to make possible to don't work in the future;
Try to learn new non-tech things (Like Ocarina, Kalimba, Melodica or things that involve actively doing something);
Remember that good days only exist bcz we have some bad days to compare;
If it is because the lacking of feeling accomplishment, I try to split in smaller goals.

You're probably further along on some of your goals than you realize if you are struggling with new ones.
There are probably more positives than you realize if you look back on them and pay a lot of attention!

Practice gratitude and take very long walks.
