How to justify playing good poker?

Hi,

i have been playing poker 1 year or so..
but still being very result oriented, especially after live games.

recently, have been losing alot in live..
however, also did reviews on major hands that lost.. think i played well
(i.e. putting in money ahead on the flop, calling shoves w/ draws + pot odds)

what are the methods/factors that you guys use to justify whether you played good poker in a session despite losing?

Need some help feeling better thanks...
