Default Unlearning implicit (procedural) poker knowledge

Hello, I have played over 400k of limit hold'em poker and unsurprsingly it has become a monotonous, repeitive task (I play $10/20 6-max out of all games). I am learning in my Cognitive Psychology class that explicit knolwedge which requires consicious effort becomes automatic procedural knowledge with enough practice. This is apparently what has happened to me since i'm at the point where I can multitable for hours on end without paying much attention. This however has become a problem, as it has stunted my growth and interest in the game, and I make many routine mistakes without thinking. I was wondering if it is possible to make poker more of a explicit task than an implicit task? Anyone have this problem and corrected it? (Maybe verbalizing my thoughts before every decision is a start...)
