Steps
Step 1. Go to a quiet place and sit down
If you can't find a totally quiet place, go where there is at least one comforting sound. Consider carrying a notebook or diary with you.
Step 2. Start meditating, you can also sit in a yoga position if you want
Step 3. Clear your mind of all thoughts
After having emptied it, even from free thoughts or other, if you have a topic in mind, focus on that. However, avoid running into a dead end or getting angry at arguments with no solution. Focus on topics where you are sure you can find new development ideas. Another option is to search your life, or introspect, and think about what's going on at a particular moment. Anything that helps you focus and see useful images or thoughts is fine. If you want, write in a diary or draw.
Step 4. Ask yourself why you feel the things you do or how you do them make you feel so empty
"How can this be good or bad?" "What makes it so?" "How can I fix it?" After looking within, evaluate your role among those around you. It can be high, equal, or less, but don't let that determine if it's good or bad. Examine every type of situation, every relationship, and decide if it's better to change or be more flexible.
Step 5. Research the religions / spiritual beliefs of the people who lived in your country in the past; look on the internet and in the library for more information on these old religions for an alternative spiritual view
The spiritual beliefs of your ancestral roots can tell you a lot about your family history.
Step 6. List some of your goals in life and celebrate if you have achieved them
Create a path to develop the goals you still miss. Say a prayer. Sing a song. Take a break and wander around for a while.
Step 7. Make a plan for next time
Think about the activities or action you have recently done that have helped you feel satisfied. Was it reading books, or a holy book, or taking a walk, meditating, helping people in need, doing yoga…? Plan steps to do something fulfilling over the next few days and weeks. Close with a prayer, a decision, and consider sharing it with others.
Step 8. Ask yourself every day before going to bed what you have done to keep your inner self healthy or sensitive
Don't just think about your body (although you shouldn't neglect it), but also about your soul. Don't just think about your own concerns, but think about others' concerns as well.
Step 9. Other spiritual goals:
grow in vulnerability. (Most, if Almost all, if not all, icons of spirituality possessed this quality.) Grow in cunning or wisdom. (The masters also owned this!) Explore other ways to believe. Develop an open mind rather than a closed one. This means learning from ideas and perspectives other than your own, so that you can develop your opinion while taking those into account as well. Sacrifice yourself and accept the sacrifice of others.
Step 10. Study and read continuously
Old torn pages are fine too. Educated people have amazing gifts, as well as great responsibilities, so take advantage of them. Talk to people who have had first-hand experience of what you want to know. Discuss or explain spiritual concepts; inspire people who are in trouble with words. Teachers are also students.
Step 11. Look for a spiritual group in your area
Go with a friend. It can be a group of any size. Actively participate in discussions.
Step 12. Follow your hobbies
Do what you like best. Avoid what you don't like. See the world as a platform to showcase your talent, always ask for advice and guidance from older people. Enjoy all the moments in life.

Advice
- Remember, a healthy soul and mind can help you have a healthy body.
- When you keep your journal or reflect, you may be wondering why people want to become more spiritual. Start with a few questions: Is there a "spiritual" life? How can it be seen or perceived? Whether or not you have doubts, what do you hope to achieve? Do you want to broaden your horizons? Are you worried about how your life will go? Do you want to understand someone or grow in a relationship? Are you looking for full satisfaction? Has anyone or something hurt you? Have you been encouraged or coerced by someone or something at any event? Do you want to achieve more? Do you want to reach a state of inner peace away from the busy life? Or are you looking for Nirvana? Perhaps, on the other hand, you would like to face life with your head held high (rather than taking a mental vacation) and therefore you are looking for the energy or the right way to face the needs and aspirations of every day. Some of these reasons, if not all, may be suitable for your situation. Plan to answer one question at a time each time you meditate.
