It can be very hard to motivate yourself to get back on track and pull yourself together. What counters this best is something I would like to call your very own "Trophy room". This trophy room only exists in form of your replays or memories, where you were able to beat players who were stronger than you, managed to pull off impressive micro or were simply just proud of a certain action you did. Create a replayfolder just for this specific purpose; only add replays you deem worthy and only watch those when you are in a slump and have no motivation at all. Those games will remind you of your own skill, that you can do better and your losing streak is only temporary. You can also put those scenes in your mind together, dubbed with music - your very own highlight movie. It is important to have a possibilty to break out of that state of negative emotions that comes naturally when one is in a slump, and by reminding yourself of your own strengths, you do this effectively.
