Sometimes when you've been training for several years on a regular basis week in and week out, taking a break of several weeks or even a month without any training whatsoever can also give you a fresh way to look at your training. When you do return to training, you may have a very different perspective on many things, like starting over again, but with carryover knowledge. I have found this can sometimes jumpstart a period of relative banging your head against a wall.
