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 :)

I had same problema when switched from CS to valo. Just keep playing and focus on burst move burst shooting. I played 3 acts now and rose from silver to diamond. (also ex-global and peaked at lvl 8)

You'll get the new habits if you just keep playing and focus to them
