How would you handle taking a break and/or slowing down study? Do you feel guilty if you do?

Hey all, life has been hitting me kinda hard and fast for the past week if not multiple, and I feel my brain has just been a mess and I've had a lot less energy and enthusiasm for Japanese study, leading to me falling back to simple anki reviews and passive immersion in video games and/or podcasts, but I don't know if these are contributing any actual progress.

Feels like I just cannot bring myself to do the harder more active stuff like journaling, output practice (finally go to italki or hellotalk and try talking to a native). I know that I need to do this, and I've felt guilty of putting it off.

Have you ever had to face a situation in which you just had to slow down, whether due to life, burn out, hitting a wall? If yes, how did you handle it?
