Damnit Smrutufture, you feel bad because you're peaking after all that hardass work.
I think that it's much more healthy to be happy about the things that you've accomplished during the day than to beat yourself up for not being productive enough. It's a feeling that I'm struggling with a lot aswell. But it's a bad habit to focus on the things that you have not done, instead of the things that you have done.
Maybe should try and slow down for a day or two. Paint one longer painting and just have some fun with stuff. Think about the reason that made you want to paint to begin with. The passion! You'll get back up on that horse again, you don't have paint a masterpiece every day :P
I think Jonesoda has some good suggestions to try out aswell. Walks always work for me. But since killerass spiders is a problem where you live, I wouldn't recommend it!
I usually pop up some epic music and paint what I feel. You have to pay tribute to the paintgod sometimes.
