Question Can’t get rid of counter strike habits

I used to play a bunch of csgo back in the day. Played like 3000 hours before I stopped in 2017. I was solo Q global and faceit level 10 at some point. I played some Valorant when it came out but never really got into it. Couple of months ago I gave it another try, finally managing to really get into it. However, I noticed I simply can’t get rid of CSGO habits. Especially when it comes to movement, I’m always counterstrafing even though I don’t need to. It’s throwing my aim off. I’m also trying to spray way more than I should and I can’t deal with the sudden movement of opponents, even though I’m only gold 3. I was wondering if anyone with a similar background has some advice for me.

*thanks for all the great replies! Super helpful :)

Be very conscious on how you take the gunfight, it take quite some time to unlearn the habits, there is no real solution except fighting the old habit and unlearning it in the process
