You probably know that on Shavuos you should visualize ma'amad Har Sinai (the experience of receiving the Torah on Mt. Sinai). But did you know that you should think about it—at least once—each and every day?! The Tur (O.C. 47) writes: And when saying Birkas HaTorah, one should have in mind ma’amad Har Sinai - i.e., that Hashem chose us from all the nations and brought us close to Har Sinai and made us hear His words from within the fire and gave us His sacred Torah which is the center of our lives, a precious vessel with which He rejoices every day.
