A number of suggestions:
        1) Take your camera for a walk somewhere you've never been before  
(totally new subject).
        2) Consider one word "subjects" such as:
                a) light
                b) macro
                c) expression
                d) eye
                e) etc.
        3) Put a lens on the camera which offers a point of view you have  
not used for some time, don't take it off for a week, see all it has  
to offer.
        4) Go out at a time of day or night that you usually don't.
In other words break your routine, get out of the habitual, renew  
your amazement.
