I had a similar experience with losing a streak not too long ago and wrote about it here and here.

For me, learning to not obsess over a streak and instead zoom out has helped me to I guess liberate myself from the negative feeling that begins to creep in when something becomes all about the streak instead of it's underlying and meaningful purpose. I've lost my streak of writing a post everyday on SN, but this pause in writing has allowed me to step back and write when I truly have something of value to share, and also has shifted my focus to commenting more instead of just posting on the days I don't have the inspiration or ideas to write my own.

There will be discomfort whenever you stray away from a habit that your brain has become accustomed to, but I think it's important that we intermittently break away from our routines for a 'mental reset' as you mentioned. Enjoy your reset!
