Forgetting What It Means To be A Winner: Deficit In Self-Image Circle

For many months i've been breakeven or losing and i feel like i forgot what it felt like to win. I'm wondering if the poor results are now perpetuating itself. That i'm somehow programmed to lose mentally because i got so good at it - good at losing that is.

From the book With Winning In Mind, Bassham talk about needing a strong Self-Image Circle that your skills, both Conscious and Unconscious, bounce off or reflect off in order to perform at your best.   

Right now i just don't seem to put together winning sessions anymore, i'm breakeven at best or i win then somehow lose it back before i'm done. I would be winning 2-3 buy ins then lose a flip and what to get back to that 2-3 buy in winning 'mark' only to lose it all back again. 

What should my expected returns be playing 50NL? what am i meant to win daily with reasonable winrates? when i play i feel like i should be winning $250 a day and yet i struggle to make profit. 

When i begin my session, i try sit down with a clear head, forgetting what negative or accumulated emotions i may have and what has been going on around me. I often start the session down having lost in very 'standard' spots. Then i slowly work my back to even then begin winning. But i'm faltering and i'm not sure anymore. My HM2 is not working with new site i'm trying so reviewing my sessions has been a problem (two days and trying to sort it out).
