Take a day or two off from chess. When you come back you will be focused and find that you win more often.

Get a good rest, I find I lose a lot when I'm tired and can't concentrate as well
I know the feeling i had an 11 game losing streak once and i lost to players i would have beaten so easy before, this is after a 44 game winning streak which made it more frustrating to play so poorly. All you can do is re-focus write down ur games, while ur annotating play less games to start with. I even played players much lower to gain back much lost confidence. Just be patient! And concentrate dont play while ur emotions are high, and remember its just a game and u can and will improve it again maybe even get better if/when u whether the storm....

I have been. I just got back from a couple days of just running through some chess books for pointers. (I live in Ohio and didn't have electricity for a few days.)
Take a break (more than 2 days I'd say give it two weeks) have a good rest and come back at the game fresh.
Very recently I've been losing almost all of my games. I'm no where near the greatest player in the world, but even if you're rated 100-200 points below me, you're going to utterly humuliate me on the board.
So what do you guys do when you have a losing streak like this? almost all my ratings have dropped about 100 or so points recently, and I'm kind of sick of just practicing practicing practicing and losing against people I usually win against.
