I know this question is asked a lot but can anyone give me advice on how I can push my elo to above 1000? and get what I should be thinking about with every move, how I learn from my mistakes, and how to study openings effectively

Try to develop all your pieces and castle before moving your Queen.

For your King's safety, don't move pawns in front of your King. 

Always protect your pieces with another piece. Try not to leave pieces hanging or unprotected.

Attack your opponent with double attacks, forks, pins, and checks. 

Watch out for quick checkmates like the Scholar's Mate or 4-Move-Checkmate.

Anticipate your opponent's next move and defend against their attacks. 

Play puzzles and check analysis after each game to learn from your mistakes.

do puzzles and play a lot of games.  And don't give up when you are losing.
