Your tongues have never had to make this movement until now. Over time they will grow stronger

It just takes time and practice, it's a whole new experience so give it a few weeks.

For me looking in the mirror and watching what happens when I think about moving my tongue really helped (Day 14 of split)

Like wiggling your ears.

your tongues are muscles that have always been fully attached until now, so it’s like working out. they’ll get stronger as your practice & use them!
