quick - morning self-regulator
heard the idea that reading Qur'an in the morning regulates your mind for the rest of the day.. subhanAllah..
same can be said for adhkaar. it's not to be rushed, not something to merely tick off on your to do list, it's something to ground you and keep you focused. even if you're getting distracted by your own thoughts, it acts as self regulation for as long as you try to stay on track. take it more seriously, give it the weight it deserves.
