practise too much?

When I was still playing flute, everyone will say, "Wei, go and practise your flute". Now, some will say, "Wei, stop playing and rest leh", except Qicai for sure.

When I was still playing flute, I always have to force myself to go practise stuff. Now, I have to force myself to play less.

When I was still playing flute, I never had problem with regard to over playing.

Monday, I felt a bit of too much playing and thought that maybe I should stop and rest for one day. Tuesday, I continued. Wednesday, I continued, until my lips started bleeding, and they all forced me to stop. Thursday, because have to prepare for band practice, I didn't play much before that. After the band practice, I felt that my lips are not belong to me. Friday, that was today, I continued my horrible practice. Lucky my lips didn't bleed today, but my tooth base (what do you call that?) and jaw are giving me painful feeling.

Yup, I think I was practising a bit too much. But how am I supposed to stop practising? That will be too torturous for me to not play for even one day.

I am starting to worry for the days after the concert.
