tightening up too much when up a lot

Hey guys,

i have this mental game leak where i get too passive, a little anxious and result oriented when I'm up a decent bit. This usually happens in live poker when my stack is getting very deep and pretty much never online. I cant help myself but often counting my stack, enjoying how much I am up at the moment. It´s really bothering me because it´s hurting my winrate a lot. I'm missing out on too many preflop and postflop +ev spots.

When Im down for the session. it´s actually the opposite, im getting loser and probably take too many marginal spots. I also tend to play shorter sessions when I'm up, and longer sessions when I`m down, this is especially online a big problem for me, since I'm playing B and C game more often than A game. I know this stuff rationally, but i find myself still doing those mistakes.
You guys have any suggestions how to deal with this?

cheers
