My solutions are either to put the story away and write something else completely, or read a book, watch a movie or play a game that's set in a similar world to get ideas.
The second one could distract me at times though. I can sometimes see a single image, or read a single line and make a whole new story out of it that's completely different from what I'm watching/reading. But at times, that can also help me to create great new ways to continue my story while remaining original. Inspiration is a tricky thing.
