Your abilities seem to be connected to your feelings of innocence and youth. Try doing something to bring that feeling of youth back. On a day off work, go to a spot you went to as a kid, take part in an activity you did in those days. Read your favorite kids book or watch your favorite kids movie and I don't mean a kids movie you like now, I mean a kids movie you liked then. Look for fairy folk at the bottom of your garden, check if you like butter by holding a buttercup under your chin and seeing if it turns yellow, pick up a stick and convince yourself its a sword and you are a pirate, look at the lay out of your living room and imagine what buildings and landscape the furniture could be for your action figures, jump from sofa to sofa because the floor is hot lave/shark infested water. Then try to connect, decide something is true. Start small. Decide the weather will slightly change. decide when a slight breeze will come, decide a flock of birds to fly by. Try this and then get back to us on how it went. Best of luck my friend.
