The ratio of 1 to 2 is like 80% to 20%, i'd like to change this, I'd like to be (2) most of the time, and I'm trying to force some change by being positive. Sometimes I can switch from 1 to 2 and back in a few minutes, and it's very frustrating.

can anybody relate to this? Thanks.

The fact that you can switch sounds very promising to me. You just have to figure out ways to control it. - vital
Thanks for this!
