I think you have the wrong idea about "rushes" and "cold streaks". Just because you were running hot, doesn't mean you should be watching out more and more each day, because the inevitable cold streak is "coming". It is inevitable that we will all hit cold streaks at multiple points during our poker career, but it's not because the poker gods feel that we've been running a little too well and that we need to take a slap to the face. There is also nothing to "wait out". The reason for taking a break from poker is to calm yourself and get in the right mindset for a poker game; it is NOT because your cold streak will last a pre-specified number of days, so you should wait out those x days so you can run well again.
