Sometimes when I'm doing Salah, I just don't feel like my heart is in it. I do have the intention to pray, but I just feel like I'm saying the words and going through the motions. I'm sure other people experience this as well. What can I do to change this? Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Everyone experiences this from time to time. You just need to soldier through it.

the reward will be greater than when your "heart is in it". Just have patience and eventually you will get pleasure from the salah again. This is what the mashayikh have taught us.

Also, like ar.malhan said, focus on what you are saying. Also, try to do more zikr outside of the salah.
