Losing faith. How to rekindle the flame once it's gone out?

Sorry for the melodramatic title but it's the best I could come up with at this time. Over this last weekend I've been doing some reflecting, and I've found that my practise and belief in general has been dwindling over the last 12 ish months. I find myself making all forms of excuses such as work being too busy, new job stress, new financial obligations etc. But after spending a bit of time thinking about it, I feel like my faith is less tangible than it once was, if that makes any sense.

I'm sure I'm not the first polytheist to question my beliefs, but lately I feel like I'm torn between the more logic driven data scientist and more experience driven polytheist. And I guess I'm just having a hard time reconciling these two halves into a single whole, without losing some part of myself in the process. This turned into much more of a ramble than I anticipated haha, I guess I'll leave it off with a few questions.

Any advice from your own personal experiences? Anything that you've found helpful when these times of doubt strike? Any questions for me in return?
