Just learn more openings, and don’t give away juicers

By winning games. If you are interested in decreasing your elo then just start losing games.

You increase your rating - it's actually a Glicko-2 rating, not an Elo rating - by increasing your playing strength. Your rating is just a number that summarizes your recent results. It's your playing strength that matters.

How to increase your playing strength?

Play slow games for improvement. Blitz and Bullet time controls are for fun, and to test your skills. Rapid and Daily time controls are for improving. You can't improve if you don't have time to think and make decisions.

Don't waste too much of your time studying openings. If you are losing games because of blundering pieces or making silly moves, you cannot "memorize" your way out of that.

Study basic tactics (pin, fork, skewer, overload, guard destruction, decoying etc) and how to string those tactics together into a combination.

Here is a sample combination from an over-the-board rated tournament game that I played many years ago:

Every time it's your move look for CCA (check capture attack)

Learning openings don't help. Instead, learn endgames, and study the middlegame.

Please, what are 'juicers'?

ADDED: Oh, like 'ripest fruit to pick' aka undefended pieces etc, right?
