I think what Alex said about getting very clear on what you're looking for and the givens is basic. Exploring tangental connections and noticing similarities to other problems encountered can also help.
Less helpfully, it is probably useful if you enjoy the process and have an expectation for success. But you acquire those or you don't based on past experience. So each new problem gives you an opportunity to earn those mindsets. If you are a little giddy at the prospect that's probably a good sign.
