Its what is called DJ Block. It hapens in everything you do in life, somedays you just aint as good as usual at something, so a skilled task such as mixing becomes harder. As Liquid has stated everyone has went through it, I bet even the top DJ's have had DJ block before. Liquid is also right in saying lay off it for a few days, it clears your head, and what point is there in practising if you are not enjoying it?
I also find it helps to listen to other DJ's and note how many mistakes they make, I listen to Scotlands top DJ's and note how crap they sound and it makes me feel better about my mixing.
Also, as you progress they should become less frequent and less vicious, I went through a sort of block day today in practise but listening to the tape I only screwed up two mixes in 2 hours (2 too many though), not even major screw ups but mixes I was unhappy with. It just didn't seem as easy and the beats were drifting slightly more than usual. But I know if I leave it tonight I will come back tomorrow and be back to my old self!
