How would you use 気持ちを込める?
[気持]{きもち}ちを[込]{こ}める is an often-used phrase when the mental or psychological
aspect of something is being emphasized. = "to put my heart into ~~"

Baseball pitchers often say after a good performance,
「[今日]{きょう}は[一球一球]{いっきゅういっきゅう}気持ちを込めて[投]{な}げました。」 = "I put my heart and soul
into every pitch I made today."

A singing teacher may say 「もっと気持ちを込めて[歌]{うた}いなさい！」 = "You need to put more
heart into your singing!"

「気持ちを込めてこのケーキを[焼]{や}いた。」= "I put my feelings into baking this cake."
