When I "hit the wall" the best thing for me to do is to get physical. Get up and get moving, preferably outdoors. I take a brisk walk or run, hike in the woods, weed the garden, play with the dogs. Anything that involves physical activity but doesn't require much in the way of conscious thought. Things I can do without really thinking about them, yet my attention is diverted from the brain drain project.
The combination of physical activity, fresh air and nature usually do the trick. And I often find when I return to the project, that while I was taking a break my subconscious mind has come up with a resolution to the thing that had me stuck.
