I thought we'd already defined "practicing rationality" as "intentionally trying to make rational decisions and intentionally trying to become more rational".

No, only if you rationally try to make rational decisions and rationally try to become more rational.

If you're acting irrationally, you're not practicing rationality, in the same way that you're not practicing vegetarianism if you're eating meat.
