Default Do you ever quilt when you're not feeling it?

I was having tension issues (for days) and after trying many things I think I have it figured out enough to try FMQ on my actual project rather than just practice pieces. But after many many practices I feel exhausted and am just not feeling it. I was just going to meander inside an appliqued silhouette that I put on a jelly roll race quilt but now I think my FMQ looks pretty choppy, not smooth like I know I can do. I was probably so focused on the tension problem as well as being pretty frustrated that I know I was not enjoying the practicing. I decided to get away from it and see what's going on here for awhile and in the process I wondered how many of you get to this point and do you push through or do you take opportunity to give yourself the break you need before pressing on?
