Admittedly, I had a few bad sessions the past couple of weeks. One of those in particular was downright putrid on my part. Just punted away my stack, and I felt so foolish afterward. Conversely, I recently reeled off 16 sessions in a row, and as GG alluded to in a previous post, I found myself thinking I was incapable of losing.
I say that to convey that the next few hundred hours could go several different ways. I've learned (or still trying to learn, rather) to just play my best every street of every hand, and let the rest fall into place.
I've let my WR affect some of my thinking lately. I'm always thinking if this pot will affect my WR (pos or neg) and if so, by how much. Not sure how good/bad that line of thought is.
Thinking about your WR while in a hand is generally better than thinking about how your session is going, but they're both undesirable. It's best to not think about any of that, although it is really hard for most of us. In between hands, considering your session could be ok if you're trying to assess if your confidently agressive, or tilted or off your game and should quit or take a break. You already have enough things you should be thinking about during a hand: V range, V playing style, how did he play that one hand 2 orbits ago, betsizing tells, physical tells, what was the SPR, direct odds, implied odds, what was/is my plan, did the waitress just wink at me, etc. Thinking about $ or this pot would make or break my night just clouds out the important stuff.
I've felt like Daredevil, I've felt like a pile of goo, I've played so tired that I couldn't possibly notice anything, so, speaking from experience.
