A few suggestions, not necessarily mutually exclusive:
1. Start doing what you want to do at work. Don't waste time in BS meetings, go talk to potential customers or partners yourself, build what you think is interesting/valuable.
2. Change things up outside of work, go to lectures, meetups, start reading different blogs, whatever.
3. Start applying for jobs and arranging informational interviews.
In all three, a big part of the point is to change things, and seeing what happens, at the very least, you'll be getting new perspectives, and after a while, you'll find that you are ready to make the big change and find another job.
This is basically what I went through over the past year. I knew I needed to leave, but couldn't quite find a way to do so. It took a while, but my last day is in two weeks. Ironically, things are looking better at work than they have in 18 months, in part because I felt free to push and try things in a way I didn't before. I'm still going though. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do in the long run, but I'm much more comfortable with my ability to make a reasonable living as a result of changing my perspective.
