Stop playing rapid. Allocate at least 60 minutes for your moves for each game.

After some time when you'll try rapid again, you will suddenly notice that you've started playing much better. But you cannot improve just by playing rapid. Same for Blitz.

Playing rapid chess, one can lose the habit of concentrating for several hours in serious chess. That is why, if a player has big aims, he should limit his rapid-play in favor of serious chess. — GM Vladimir Kramnik

It is very difficult to play a single blitz game. You want to play for a long time. — GM Viswanathan Anand

I play way too much blitz chess. It rots the brain just as surely as alcohol. — GM Nigel Short

The fastest way to improve your rapid rating is to improve your overall playing ability. How to do that? Play classical chess. Study. Analyze your games. Study endgames.

After you get better, you can go back to playing rapid. Your rapid rating will go up.

Keep your rapid to thirty minute games, and analyze every single move of every single game. Learn from both your wins and your losses.
