It's important to get a basic understanding of I believe because your curation is really important to your community I believe. I hope if nothing else, this causes you to consider it as an area to learn more :)

I am attempting. I did use the slider on dtube to lower my voting power to 90%. I have about 52% left so it sounds like I should hold off upvoting for a few days?
Curating is commenting and upvoting, is that correct?

Kind of depends on how many posts you try to upvote, but I'll tell you that for me I lower my voting power to 10% to start with and work my way up as I go. If I see something I really like, I can then increase my upvote. If you are down to 52%, I would give it a couple of days to recharge you back up personally.

Will do. Thanks
