Yea, one of the things I do is slow down my kata. I do it at very slow speed like tai chi. I doesn't mean you can't do it forceful and hard it just means 'CHANGE UP. Do them slow sometimes. Especially with nature, like in the park or at the beach. Also, the most dangerous man in Japan only knew one kata but he did it everyday.

Slow it down and try doing it before bedtime for 21 nights in a row.
