a reminder
Remember, when we do good, we need to do good with the heart. We probably do certain things anyway - such as giving charity here and there, making du`a’ and so on. But we do them without heart, without any feeling or emotion that this is for Allah. We need to do these things knowing that in them is a cure for what is in our hearts, and that when we feel down, we go to these things - whether it is helping out others or pleading with Allah in our sujood (prostration).
