Try a different genre for a while. Break out of the same old same old and do something totally different.

When you go back, you will have learned a few new things and that might be the break-through you've been looking for.

I play guitar and have the same issues. So I switch to playing a different genre and shake off the old grooves and learn some new things. Expose yourself to all sorts of musical influences and take something from each one.

Leave the piano jazz ballads alone and pick some honky tonk or some New Orleans boogie, or even some of the soul and funk stuff. There are great keyboard players in every genre. Find them and listen and learn.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
