One of the things that works best for me when I have writer's block is rereading what I have written from the beginning. That tends to shake things up and gets me excited about what my characters are going to do next.
I write in long stretches of time generally late at night after I have worked at my full-time job all day. That sometimes makes it harder and I have accepted that some nights it's just not going to happen. When I feel like that I take a night to read someone else's work or watch a show. That also helps me stay fresh as I find that pushing it sometimes has the opposite effect.
My last trick is to outline a new project because sometimes that's what is distracting me from my current work. Once I get the ideas outlined, it's like magic and I can go back to what I am working on.
