I think it can be underappreciated how significant being in a good "head space" is to being successful at poker. Bad beats are going to happen, losses are going to happen, downswings (sometimes very significant ones) are going to happen. That's just a fact. If you can't handle this variance, and if you aren't open to honestly seeing how you can improve your game, you are going to suffer. You could get angry and frustrated. That's not good for anyone.

The more you practice letting things go, moving on to the next hand, and not letting your frustration linger, the better things will be for you. A poker coach I used to follow (and had the privilege of a few sessions with) used to use the phrase, "So be it."

An ugly wet board means your pocket aces are very likely in trouble and you have to fold to heavy post-flop action. So be it.

You opponent hits a two-outer on the river. So be it.

You are card dead for an entire hour. So be it.
