The best of people are those who traverse the path of Prophet (s.a.w) and the elite of his companions (r.a) such that they are moderate in the bodily actions of worship and strive to correct the affairs and states of heart. this is because the journey to the Hereafter is cut short by the journey of the hearts, not the journey of bodies - ibn Rajab al Hanbali, The Journey to Allah

Soften Hearts With Dhikr
A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri, “O Abu Sa’eed, I am complaining to you of the hardness of my heart.”
He said,“Soften it with dhikr. The more forgetful the heart is, the harder it becomes, but if a person remembers Allaah, that hardness softens as copper melts in the fire. Nothing can soften the hardness of the heart like the remembrance of Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted. Dhikr is healing and medicine for the heart. Forgetfulness is a disease, the cure for which is remembrance of Allaah.”
