Gap between Good and Bad game

Hi I have been playing pool for over 10 years on and off, recently more so, maybe last 3 years everyday having a few gaps now and again. When I play good I can run out 9ball racks (with BIH to start) around 80-90% of the time. Without BIH, ie break and run, I have maxed only 5 racks as my break isnt the best. However on a bad day even with BIH to start I run out alot less, my percentage of 9ball racks run goes down to 50% or less. I am not sure if its an aiming issue, I wouldnt think so. Basically my mind seems to go all negative (like when I play on the tour) and then seems somehow to drain my positive outlook and then affect my shots (missing easy balls and poor position). My highest number of 9ball runouts with BIH after break is 14 which I think is quite good, not sure though as obviously I took BIH after break, so may not be that good.
