i like to do rasgueados on my thigh or any surface.
i sometimes take my left hand, hold it out straight, with the fingers held tight together and practice alzapua motions, using my left hand fingers as strings.

go through stuff in your head, whether finger exercises, falsetas, whatever, play/hear it in your head, think where your left and right hand fingers go etc.
