The best way to correct bad habits is through training.

Run a simulator and trade it. Each trade identify what went right, what went wrong, and what needs to be corrected. Simulators are good because they cut down on wait time and you can trade months in a matter of hours. List each thing that needs attention, and mark off each time you violate one of those rules, do this over and over again until you aren't marking any of them off any more.

Even though this is just technical training, it creates the proper level of attention that can be applied to other issues that arise in live trading. A disciplined methodical approach.

Success relies on 3 factors. Opportunity, strategy, and skill. A good strategy gives a trader the means to take advantage of opportunity. Skill is the ability to implement a strategy efficiently, with technical proficiency and the least amount of mental interference in the process.

This is the key. To be the operator without interfering in the process. It has nothing to do with psychology, it is simply a developed skill like any other. When people talk about the zone, this is exactly the type of focus they are describing.
