Just do something different. Get a new yoyo just for fun, try learning a new trick, start learning a new kind of yoyoing, etc.

film yourself playing

pick one move that you don’t like (for example for me is the trapeze → brother move that breaks all the rythm) and FORCE yourself to do something else in that situation

or deal with perfecting your combo, making it better, adding parts or tricks to it, think “mark montgomery”

i like to switch over to a different style and get back then come back to 1a

at one point I was close to quiting yoyoing but then I got into 2a and haven’t loved yoyoing as much as I do now

You’re probably just smoothing your stuff out.

For me it goes:

Learn crazy ■■■■ ----\> Smooth out your crazy ■■■■ -----  
^----------\<-----------------\<------------------\<---------  
repeat.
