When this happens to me I do a couple of things. One is just suck it up and keep playing, it the only way i feel like i can get through it. The other is to change something about my playing, be it a different mouthpiece or horn for a bit (I usually just borrow one from a friend or from the school, don't go out buying tons of horns or mouthpieces). I've found that as soon as I play on something new i like it alot and feel my playing improves (i think Arnold JAcobs said something about this too) but when I go back to my old equiptment in the next practice session, I'm reminded why i use it and my playing improves. This may not work for everyone but does wonders for me.
