I don't see the problem. I usually find that when I'm stumped the best thing to do is to switch gears away from the subject at hand and then come back later. I might do anything from just getting up, grab a soda from the fridge, and watch some Youtube videos for a 10-15 minutes, to taking a hot bath, taking a walk, or even just going to bed and forgetting it until the next day. Depends on how long I've been grinding on $WHATEVER and just how stumped I feel, etc. OTOH, there is sometimes value in just grinding and grinding and being super persistent. It's a judgment call on any given situation whether to grind or do the "seek a distraction" thing.
