Slump/confidence issues

I've been playing pool for over 10 years now and like many players, I tend to go through slumps here and there. It starts when my concentration wanes- I begin to get distracted, miss a few balls I normally make and then it starts to get into my head. I begin to press. I start trying too hard and the nerves begin to steadily increase. I've been in this current slump for about two or three weeks now. I opened up 4-0 in the pool league I play in and have gone 2-6 since, including 0-4 last week. What is disappointing is that I was playing the best pool of my life before this current slump. So, my question is, what do you guys to break out a slump? Any tips? Drills? Mindsets? etc
