I want to always use, "Still, Blah blah blah" And have caught myself doing it alot... and almost doing it mutliple times... any tips?

You could proofread prior to posting and remove any you consider extraneous. You could also try using other words which are similar, such as "however."

Synonyms are your friends. "Still" in particular has plenty of words and phrases you could replace it with: "however", "even so", "all the same", "nevertheless", "nonetheless", "regardless", "withal" and "yet". Depending on what comes after them, you could also use something like "but" or "in spite".

Alternatively, like Ganon said, you could also examine the sentences in which you used "still" and consider whether you could word the whole thing differently in order to avoid such a phrase.

Synonyms will put readers more at ease and improve immersion, but in this case I wouldn't consider them your friend. The syntax of 'Still, [rest of the sentence],' should be reserved for dialogue ideally and used very sparingly in description/internal monologue. In most cases, like DL and Ganon mentioned, you'll get more bang for your buck by taking time to think critically about possible rewrites.
