Last week of Training for a while

My toe absolutely refuses to heal. After the tournament this Saturday I'm going to take a month off from martial training and cardio work that places stress on my toes. I still plan on doing crossfit, bodyflow (mix of yoga and pilates), and swimming. But convincing myself to make this switch is tremendously difficult. It takes a vast amount of discipline to make myself STOP training. I have a twirling candycane of two personality traits: an obsessive personality and a competitive drive. There is a part of me that's afraid if I stop I will never be able to do martial arts again, which is totally nonsensical, and as my training really forms the cornerstone of my therapy I...guess I'm a little afraid of the unknown.
