It is easy to say but difficult because though there is no other alternative yet, people want to make something different and also want a different result, and that isthe  only win. There is no other thing a gambler wants but only wants to be a winner at any cost, and the main reason to be addicted and become a loser is such types of emotion, almost there is no way to be the opposite of it.
We cannot force ourselves when we cannot win. Or if they're trying to be forceful with that, they'll only get more losses.

If we have no control over the situation, it's best to just let it go and let the results come without any heavy heart. Disappointments are there but if we cannot win at all.

It's that time to take some rest and we can go back maybe after a day or two.
When luck is not on our side, which is marked by a series of continuous defeats, it is the right time to stop. As you said, it is very appropriate, take time to rest for a few days, it will make emotions more stable when you come back later. A gambler should be ready for disappointment when they bet money, even though it is sometimes difficult to accept. What needs to be remembered is not to let gambling make life stressful, due to spending too much money on gambling.

That is the right approach when you are losing in a consecutive way and there is no better time than that to stop. If you rest for a few days or even a couple of weeks before coming back you have 2 advantages, one is that I am assuming most of us if we stay 2 weeks without gambling we can have a bigger balance to start with and second is that we are not that stressed out because of recent consecutive lost amounts of money and as such chances are high we will be somewhat successful during our first session in our comeback for the simple reason that we are calm now. Even in the event that we lose money we still will accept it much better compared to if we lost consecutive sessions again because we are calm and relaxed from stressful gambling which we may have experienced before, so in the end this is the right thing to do, take a break whenever consecutive losing sessions hit us.
