Let me expand on that a bit, as I do not mean to be discouraging.

Indeed, improved judgement will help you to play better. And noticing that your play is not very dynamic indicates that your judgement is improving.

However, recognizing that some plays are bad, particularly in retrospect, does not mean that you will find the best plays, or even good plays. Nobody plays up to themselves all the time. We all see more clearly during reviews.

Just keep on keeping on. You'll get better more quickly than you expect.

There are studies that show that your skill at judging in a particular field, like art or a sport or go, increase at a faster rate than your actual ability in that field, which is why in the absence of direct comparison of ability, high performers often underrate themselves in their specialty. Feeling like you are playing poorly is the beginning of your judgement improving, and it follows that your actual playing will get up to that point as well.

Indeed:

• (1) identify an imperfect circle; (2) draw a perfect circle freehand.
• (1) smell rotten food; (2) cook a 5-star meal.
• (1) spot a lousy movie; (2) shoot an Oscar picture (or even just an OK one!)
• (1) squeeze toothpaste out of the tube; (2) put it back in.
• (1) break open a raw egg/shatter a wine glass; (2) put it all back together.

The list is infinite.
The 1's are easier, sometimes much easier, than the 2's.^(*)
