Default Strategies to keep from going on tilt.

I will say that I have become much better at not goin on tilt, but on occasion I will subtly going on tilt. This happens sometimes when I have had no cards for 6 hours, finally get a hand to play like pocket aces and lose to a runner runner trips. Ok no big deal, one bad beat who cares? Then I lose another and another and another. Its when these sessions or multiple sessions happen that I begin to doubt myself and my abilities.
When your in a slump, what kinds of things can you do psychologically to help with the thoughts of losing? Is it just something you have to suck up and move on or can you do something mentally to help you deal with it.

I played baseball in high school and college. When I got into slumps, I would start to doubt myself. I just practiced more until I came out of it. Can this be done in poker?
