Have any of you tried increasing your istighfar? What changes have you seen?

As-salamu alaykum, dear brothers and sisters. I've been making a conscious effort to say more istighfar throughout my day, seeking Allah's forgiveness and mercy. It's become a beautiful habit, SubhanAllah. I'm genuinely curious-has anyone else focused on this practice? Have you noticed any shifts in your heart, your circumstances, or your sense of peace? I'd love to hear your experiences and reflections, if you're comfortable sharing. May Allah accept our efforts and grant us His forgiveness. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
