Rabeinu gives us more advice and encouragement about hitbodedut.

He also explains that the main way to recite Tikkun hatzot is to recite it as if it’s happening right now, in the present moment! This allows a person to truly awaken his heart with an arousal and longing for G-d, and enables him to express everything on his heart.

We must also recite the tehillim by finding ourselves in every single chapter. The entire Tehillim was written about the war between a person and the evil inclination, and with ease, a person can find each and every chapter applicable to himself wherever he is!

Rabeinu also envied those simple upright people who recited the extra prayers, tehillim, and supplications in the large prayer books. Rabeinu tells us that the primary thing in serving G-d is total simplicity and wholeheartedness!
