Do you have an equalizer between your mixer and your monitor / headphone?
You should use one to compensate your hearing habits. Build a signal chain
like

cd player -> equalizer -> monitor / headphone

Play some of your favourite cds and adjust your eq so that you like the
sound. When you mix things with your console make sure that you always
listen through your eq and do not feed the console signal directly to your
monitor.

console -> eq -> monitor / headphone

Strictly separate the functions of the console and the eq. Use the console
to edit the source and the equalizer to compensate your hearing preferences.

The real 'trick' is to know your equipment.
