A good reason to "mix it up" is a response to villains' actions.
I think you were just a bit tilted (easy to assume since you admit as much in a couple sentences).
If not "mixing it up" means playing the most +EV game you know how to play, then I'm not a fan of any alternatives.

That feels like a contradiction. If you had the discipline, would you be mixing it up?

But when you do get called and not re-raised, wouldn't you rather have A2s - A5s? Maybe 22 - 55?

I don't think we really need to belabor the point. Don't beat yourself up too hard, just hard enough to remember that the voice in your head telling you you're not tilted is almost always a liar. You wouldn't be telling yourself that if you weren't, in fact, at least a little bit tilted.
Identifying your own tilt signature is another thing to hone in on. It can save you hundreds of BB's a week to just know when to quit the game, even if only for a 10 minute "get-the-heart-pumping" break. Not joking. I hate exercise, too. Bottom line is the brain runs on mostly Oxygen, and sitting still is not good for the circulation. Sometimes all you need is a 10 minute break and some good circulation.

He calls and I missed. was the shove on the flop a fish move? again now that I look at his range he doesn't have many hands I can beat without the flush, all his AQ's hit the board and AA,KK,QQ arn't folding . so what out of his range is he folding here? AK,AJ, and maybeee JJ? poor play by myself
Let's save this question for another time. The answer to this hand is Well, I made a mistake." It isn't "Well, I made a mistake, but I could have saved it."
