play charts you're unfamiliar with, in my experience a big issue with coming back after a hiatus and skill drop is playing older stuff that you were able to wreck at one point. you don't see or feel any progression, you see the results screen and go "goddamnit I used to have *insert older better score* on this what happened." rly annoying when you have the muscle memory locked and loaded but you're not up to speed physically yet.
as far as mindblocks go, if you can't break the mindblock within like 3 to 5 plays (try mirroring the chart too), just play a different chart and come back to it later
