A v.good therapy! That's exactly what I do!
I simply write a long, long, very long note as a draft, and then delete it. Sometimes, I even send the message and instantly delete it before the other person reads it.
This therapy helps us cool down and let our angry emotions settle
Have you ever paused and wondered about this?
We pray. We bow. We prostrate. Day after day, year after year…
Yet we still fall into sins. We lie. We backbite. We allow our hearts to become attached to things that displease ALLAH.
So then, what is wrong?

@SummayaSoliloq Good question. Bukhari 6464: the deeds most beloved to Allah are the most consistent, even if small. The salah Allah commanded is five prayers you keep — the consistency is the obedience, not a bonus. 🤲
@engraikhan66 A tiny step for us, but who knows how greatly HE sees it. MaShaALLAH!
May ALLAH help you even more. And, Yes, thankyou for the suggestion, it means a lot!!
@Fizyin I partially agree. Imagine a person whose character is not good, yet they find ALLAH through Salah because they come to Him with a broken heart...
Perhaps then, our hearts would finally arrive where our bodies already are.
I would genuinely love to hear from others: What has helped you bring more khushu and presence into your Salah?
We recite words before our Master without even knowing what we are saying.
One remedy that has deeply affected me is:
"Stand for every Salah as if this is your last one."
Imagine that you may never get another chance to prostrate!

When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination.
A closed book is a closed mind.
Don't EVER stop reading.
