Hi Sheela
It is not uncommon for students to go through lapses in practice and phases of lack of confidence. Remember that once you have been attuned to Reiki it is with you always and you can restart your practice any time you feel ready.
If it has been a while since you last did or thought about Reiki then a good place to start is to begin sitting for initially short periods of time with your hands on your body wherever they feel comfortable and close your eyes - just allow whatever happens (or not!) to happen (or not!). Please do not worry if you can't feel anything at first but keep trying a little more each day and I am sure you will regain your confidence.
You may also like to try reciting the Reiki Principles each day as this will also help to build your confidence and positivity.
Once your confidence has improved you could move on to maybe meditating upon the Reiki symbols one at a time - spending a week or so with each one and getting to "know" them again.
Reiki is with you always.
Ai to Hikari
