The best ways to get an idea or destroy a blockade are to...

read a book of a theme or genre you really like
take a shower
take a walk
jog
talk with other writers about their experiences
search for websites which especially are made for authors/writers
decide about what kind of theme you want to write (fantasy, history, love)
think about the things you've written
try to imagine what could have happened if the situation wasn't the way you wrote it
write down an own story of your characters and try to integrate it to your main story (but just if you liked the story and the way your characters interact with each other. No, you don't? Then write another one. Try your best again.)
make personal descriptions of each of your characters
give each of your characters a suitable story of their lifes
be motivated to write!!!

Writing other stories or personal descriptions of your characters will help you to create new ideas for your actual story.
Going outside or trying to do something different than thinking about what you could write, will distract you. So there will be more space for spontaneous ideas.
Reading books about themes you like, will help you to find out what kind of story you want to write; what kind of problems you want to integrate into your story and how you can solve them. Not the way it says in the book you read, but maybe you could get an idea how to continue with all those problems and solutions in your story.
