religious, you can still aim to connect to the universe in a way that strengthens your spirituality and, more importantly, your relationship with yourself.
"The juice of the spiritual berry, in my opinion, comes from being around like-minded company," says Beepat. Surrounding yourself with others who are on a spiritual journey—whether that's in person at a wellness center or online in a Facebook group—gives you a place to "hang out, learn, chill, and ask questions."
Closing yourself off to new experiences and emotions is going to make your journey toward spirituality incredibly difficult. Instead of being closed-minded and stubborn, you should "start [each] new day by setting the intention to be open and [to] receive all inspirations coming your way," writes Pirtle.
According to Margaret Paul, PhD, a relationship expert and co-founder of the InnerBonding self-healing process, spirituality is all about being kind and caring enough to "connect with the love, peace, and joy of spirit." But in order to do that, you must first learn to love yourself. "When we choose to be open to learning about loving ourselves and others, our heart opens," Paul explains.

What's happening inside of your body has just as much of an effect on your spirituality as what's happening outside of it.

"Take time to enjoy small, positive moments," says Jamie Price, a mindfulness and wellness expert and co-founder of wellness app Stop, Breathe & Think.

This simple shift in attention can boost your happiness, and it will increase your capacity to enjoy pleasant events overall. This is connectivity, which is, in a sense, spirituality."
"Meditation and prayer open the door for a greater sense of connection with the divine," says Robyn McKay, PhD, an executive coach and psychologist who focuses on spiritual growth and development. If your aim is to practice spirituality every day, then her advice is to "set aside time every day to meditate with the specific intention of connecting with your heart."
