If "splashing around" refers to playing 100 VPIP, I guess that's a change in playing style.
And if you lack confidence and feel intimidated by variance, playing ****ty (that's what 100 VPIP is) isn't doing you any good. What do you want to achieve doing so anyway? Improve your handreading? As 100 VPIP idiot at NL1? Srsly? There isn't anything to read. If you're the rational type: study. If you're the emotional type: find balance. Work on your mistakes, don't feed them on a lower stake and level yourself into feeling "too good for that level, but being picked on by variance".
Oh, and gaining confidence back by "winning a bit" is being results oriented. Disciplinal suicide. With a bad excuse.
