I hear you...and have been there.
Simply put, it's doing more of the repetition/practice diligence and at some point the brain will finally make the (for lack of better words) connections and proficiency will occur.

1) What helped me years ago (early 80's) is picking songs that are more difficult and out of your comfort zone and just work them.
Hence, I purchased Steely Dan Complete, Beatles Complete, Doobie Brothers Greatest Hits and others along with Micky Baker and Ted Greene chord books.
(Ted Greene's stuff totally wears me out before I even get started smile )
They are all well worn but taught me quite a bit.
There in lies your other "progressions" references to kick start your muscle memory.

2) Maybe this link will help keep your desire fired up. I've d/loaded their ebook and read many of the forum posts.

My suggestions are purely pragmatic so maybe others will offer more 'tips'.

That's my take on it....hope that helps...if not...you got a bump.

Carry on....
