I think it is a skill that has to be practiced. I feel like I "need" to start over because I'm disgusted with the execution, but that is not really the case. I'm practicing forcing myself to keep the beat going in my head, and picking it up at the beginning of the next measure or phrase as though nothing went wrong. Then the next time through I'll slow it down to a tempo I can play comfortably, and gradually ramp it back up. Also working on that particular passage at a slow tempo.
