Do you trade differently the week after a really Productive month?

Not really asking about strategy. Mostly asking about what occurs psychologically.

This is because Ive noticed that a good month creates this weird sense of pressure where I'm either trying to protect it, or to top it (maybe this is just me?) and neither of those is the same headspace as just trading my process.

So I'm curious if that sort of psychological "residue" from the near past is something more experienced traders actively manage or perhaps just quietly deal with.
