that's true.. there are times when the best thing TO do is just knock it off for a while.. this way (at least for me) when you come back, you have a renewd energy.

Another good way to find something to shoot for is to listen to something new. Try a new style of music... if you're into the shred gods, Vai, satch.. try some Jazz.. you'd be amazed at stanley jorday.. (again, just an example..) sometimes putting down youre axe and checking out some new music is a very good way to expand what you do and what you may want to do ..

sorry for the run on.. :D
