After a bad beat or a couple of bad beats, what is the best way to calm down and start playing my normal game after this?

If you are playing a cash game, get up. Take a walk and chat up the nearest waitress. No she does not want to hear your bad beat story. Nobody does, and it doesn't get the bad beat out of your mind by boring some poor stranger with the grizzly details.
If you are in a competition, you can't really afford to leave the table, but it is important to clear your mind. Try buying an IPOD and playing Ogre Battle by Queen on full volume every time you have a bad beat. It should clear everything out from between your ears.
