I would say you might need to do an internal and external analysis.

Internally, This could be in the form of taking a career profiling/ personality test to see what are my strengths and preferences; or talking it out with a professional like a career advisor. It is important to build self-awareness about what you LIKE doing (preferences) and what you are GOOD at (strengths). Then, consider what options you have based on your self-analysis.It is also good to consider your weaknesses and dislikes as it steers you away from making wrong career changes.

Externally,

you can perhaps look around within your organisation. Are there new problems that the company is facing right now? Are there projects that you can undertake to develop new skills in your current role? How can you contribute to help resolve some of the urgent challenges that your organisation is facing at this moment?
Ask. Speak to your bosses. Perhaps you can help solve some of the issues they are facing and take on fresh challenges. Sometimes, you may be just tired of going through routine work everyday, and a new project might change your perspective.
