>How to reverse this
You can't really. You can still enjoy it as a job, like any job it is kinda fun to try and be good at it, but you fucked up getting an industry art job, you're going to need a long break before you fall back in love with art and start thinking about your own projects again.

That's always the key difference. Art for a living means you're not doing what you want, you're doing what someone else wants. Your work will never be to your liking, your standards or your interests. Intrinsically there's no satisfaction. I mean some people get to do what they want and get paid for it but that's like a lottery. I tapped out after 3 months fulltime art industry and just went back to electrical work.
Wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they purely enjoy the act and don't really care what they're making or why.
