Repeat the best du’a of ‘Arafah frequently:
“La ilaha illa Allah وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير.”
The Prophet ﷺ called it the best thing said on the Day of ‘Arafah.

“There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafah.”
This is not a small virtue.Entire destinies change on this day.
