Read! A lot!
If you're writing non-fiction (as I do), remember that you don't need to just read about the topic that you're focused on. If you're reading a novel, don't beat yourself up about it: you're still learning world-building, dialogue, and word craft while giving your brain a much-needed break. Hopefully you'll return refreshed and ready to look at your work with new eyes.
Also, get out of your chair and exercise! Go for a walk. Do sit-ups (which works for getting me back to writing because sit-ups are less fun than wrestling with words and statistics). Do martial arts (or whatever type of exercise best suits you).
