Interesting counterpoint, but if you don't make changes then, aren't you just trying harder at the same thing every day, expecting different results? I guess I sympathize with OP as "try harder tomorrow" just hasn't seemed to work for me. What is it you're suggesting if stop and rest is actually the wrong thing to do?

I think it's different for everyone, but therapy and/or drugs are often effective when your own efforts aren't enough. "Stop and rest" is not the wrong thing to do though, it just might not help.
