Engagement is a funny thing. What is the first thing you do when you do not feel engaged? You stop.
When you have something you value for many years, the more look at it you may find more flaws, more issues. Obviously nothing is perfect. But when you for example look at a circle and see some dents and curves, does it mean it is not a circle? What it means that there is still value in what you do even if it is not perfect.
Some people need a reset, some need a kick in the butt. But it is hard to motivate someone who made their mind to stop. How do you get them to start or continue. How do you make them see the value they saw before?
How do you revive someones engagement?
Make them own their decision, period. Sometimes the harder you try to get someone to see the light, the more aggressively they dig in. Don't try to change their minds, just spell out the reality of the situation and make them own it.
