Making a profit again

So since the day after Christmas I finally cracked my downswing and returned to winning ways with a modest profit.  Notable small victories:

12/26 - came 2nd in a 200 person $11 tourney ==> $330 
12/27 - came 5th in a 90 man $26 SnG ==>$144
12/29 - came 1st in a 90 man $11 SnG ==> $230
12/29 - came 1st in a 90 man $3 SnG ==> $72

I am hoping this will enable me to finish December in profit and get back to my $100 per day profit target in january.

Some of the things I have changed to get past the downswing:
- fold KQ in early position and play real cautious with it in ANY position (similar to how I play AJ)
- focus on bullying small and medium stacks around the bubble
- slow down on final table
- build chips early by positional play

I've also been more relaxed over the Christmas period and with all the travels, shopping and partying completed I have been able to slow down and focus a bit better.  This may or may not have helped my poker :-)
