How to undo the damage playing blitz has done to my brain

Sort:

I have been playing blitz & rapid for only a couple of months not too long ago and now I can't play slow chess anymore. I don't take my time to think & analyze my game anymore, instead I quickly find a good-enough move and go for it. I know there is no rush, I know that i have plenty of time, I know I should analyze the positions thoroughly, but I keep playing quick moves anyway, like an addict that can't resist taking drugs. I have very little patience and trying to get the game to end quickly, even though i don't want to. 

 

Before I played blitz, I didn't have any of those issues and I was performing way better in slow tournament chess. Any advice on how to get rid of these bad habits, besides quitting playing blitz and play more slow chess?
