How do you guys get through the "down swings"

[Tking4unc]

Please dont view this as whining and I know this is a little on the vague side but how do you guys get through the variance of the game(obviously the bad side) Im multi tabling $25 NL these days and I look at my stats at the end of sessions and Im winning an incredible amount of small pots without the showdown, but it seems like everytime the money gets in there Im taking beat after beat. Do you move down to $10 NL and try to stop the bleeding there or do you ride it out and risk torching your bankroll? Do you guys take extended periods of time off from poker when running bad? Im trying to build a good bank roll and I hate to just stop playing and lose time playing the game. Suggestions?
