Practice some GMC lessons and songs that use different rhythm patterns I'd say, then try to take all that into your playing. Every time I learn a new lesson/song I find out later down the road that I use some of that stuff when I improvise, it's like it gets hidden in your brain and then you mix it all together, like new licks, chords etc.

Fran is right! Try learning some GMC lessons that have completely different grooves then ones you are used to playing..It will open up a lot your rhythm dictionary...Learn as many new things as possible as all these lessons/rhythms/licks go into your "vocabulary" and then when you are improvising you make your own versions of stuff learned before..Also , it happens from time to time to get fixated with a particular rhythm, I guess till we do something cool with it (song or something)...everyone has his favorite "rhythm" as well as licks etc..

Learn some rhythm theory as well, what is a bar, note values, pauses etc. Then practice some chord strummings, and GMC lessons on rhythm. Type "rhythm" in advanced search and choose level of the lesson. There are tons of lessons. You don't have to learn them all, just watch for a while and you will get some new ideas and directions for sure.
