I discussed this very issue with a friend who is massively into his meditation and quite skilled at it. He needs to be creative for his work, and he said that he stops meditating when he knows he needs to be creative. He gives it a day or two, says that's all it takes and he's back into the swing. He's much more productive and focused the rest of the time, while he is meditating. He doesn't go on a cycle, he just recognizes when his business is facing a specific problem and he needs to find a creative solution, he stops meditating until he finds the solution, then gets back to it. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
