The main question to my mind is: Is it composition or playing that you're feeling uninspired with? This is very important to my mind. I thought I was in a ruck with my playing, but then I had a guitar lesson that focused solely on composition and it opened a whole new world of playing for me. It was weird.
If it's playing, go back to basics with an acoustic or listen to some new difficult music and try and conquer it (or both).
If it's composition, listen to some new music, try to play in different scales (eg persian, hungarian, enigmatic, the list is (almost) endless).
If you say composition and playing are inseparable, then try and divorce them by putting your instrument down and going and having some different experiences to write about.
And have a guitar lesson.

I've gone stale recently as all my riffs seem to be phrygian or blues derived. So I made myself a challenge - a riff that uses 5/4.
Then a riff that was entirely tapped - no picks, no pull offs.
Okay, so they both came out shit. But it did help me come up with several more 'boring' chord progression type riffs which can have a tapped melody on top, which I'll hopefully record at the weekend.
but lots of studies show gratitude opens the creative mind.
get some random list of youtube, spotify or last.fm ...
sit down and be grateful for the time you've got and the room and all that shit and your ears will open.
