Resetting from a bad run of games

Situation is simply not played chess in several decades and yes will admit the Netflix series got me interested again... Started to play the puzzles and look at the learn section. And slowly been improving my rating...

I have started to get into the situation today where I had a run of games which through really bad mistakes I lost. Whats the best way to reset mentally. (fair play to the people who beat me)

I'm also getting focussed into what I'm going to call 'the action' and often missing larger ideas at my cost. Any advice really welcome. 

Take a look at your loss, give yourself time to understand why you lost and what you could have done differently.

If a loss make your frustrated, give yourself time to mentally calm down, otherwise your frustration is likely to cause you to lose due to blunders in your next game.

Your focus will also go down over time so don't play too many games in a row.

The reason to play 15/10 or 30 minute games instead of 10 minute games is that it gives you time to think of the larger ideas and not just "the action".

Its a fair comment. When I look at the analysis, my openings and endings are strong enough (for me) but I seem to start loosing the plot in the middle. A good example of where I go wrong was yesterday where I was smashing up the opposite player and it should have been an easy victory. I then check with the queen and instantly miss something that was protecting the square. Regain the advantage again only to do the same again. It's almost like even though I am looking at the board, I'm not really seeing it.

I had a tendency to realize my move was a mistake immediately after i did the move. A good way to avoid this is to visualize your opponents best move if you made your own move. That way you can avoid one move blunders.

What you need is vote chess, especially interactive vote chess. Share ideas with others in real time, get into the game again.

We're currently planning a big vote chess match for the season, in this club: https://www.chess.com/club/ah-chess .

Take a break. If you have chess books, review some basics. A run of "bad luck" happens to everyone. If playing short time controls, play longer to give yourself enough time to review the position. Review your each move: are you leaving a piece/position undefended?, does the move expose your piece to capture? pin? skewer? fork? Can you set any of these up? What are your opponent's expected replies and how do you plan to counter them? When he moves, did he move as expected? If not, why did he make that move? Is it better than you expected? Worse? Does it leave an opening for you to exploit or a weakness for you to defend? All of this takes time to review and understand.

A few days ago I was missing 1100 rated puzzles. I get these all the time (or, as it would seem, almost always). After missing about 3 low rated puzzles out of 6, I just stopped right there. Next day I was doing much better. Sometimes it just takes a good night's sleep to reset.  Good luck.

I find I periodically go "on tilt" for a few days in a row. I end up screaming and crying and ranting and smashing my fist on the table.
I don't know why it happens, but it's as if my chess brain switches off after about 20 or 30 moves. Typically I'm in a good position or at least an even position and then blunder. I don't know why these patterns happen, but they do, and the way my performance then improves again is also strange. It seems to be psychological, although it's possible that if you play enough, you will have runs of opponents playing well and opponents playing badly.
