If your spiritual practice has gone stagnant or taken a backseat, or perhaps you're not connecting or feeling good, then it's time for a spiritual reset.
Today, I’m going to share with you three tools to help renew and reset your spiritual practice, so you can enter into a more flow state, feel more connected, and feel good again.
Our spiritual practices are the concentrated, intentional ways we use to connect and feed our spirit. That connection then informs how we navigate the world.
They’re really important. As we dedicate our time and energy to these different practices, not only do they help us grow our connection, strengthen our faith, build confidence, and open up to guides and angels, but they are also a way we can feed and nurture ourselves.
But like anything, it can go flat. It happens.
When Your Practice Goes Flat
Spiritual practices can fall stagnant, and I know because this recently happened to me.
Typically, I have a morning practice that includes yoga, meditation, breathwork, and journaling. But for a few weeks, I noticed I wasn’t showing up for it. Or when I did, my body was in the chair, but my spirit was elsewhere.
At first, I thought I just needed to work harder, but my heart wasn’t in it. That’s when I knew it was time for a reset.
As we grow and change, our practices—our living, breathing practices—also need to grow, change, and evolve.
I was talking to my dad about a trip we took to India, where we met a guru. He said something that stuck with me:
“A spiritual connection without a practice is like a river with no banks. Wide and shallow. But practice gives us depth.”
That reframed everything for me.
Our practices aren’t about appeasing a higher power or “Sky Daddy.” That’s not how it works. They’re about feeding and caring for ourselves, connecting to spirit, and practicing self-love.
When we start from that place, it alters how we approach spiritual practice.
Tool 1: Revisit Your Intention
Start by getting clear on your intention.
Ask yourself:
- Why do I want a spiritual practice?
- What does it bring me?
- What gifts do I get from it?
When we become aware of our intention, it helps inform our decisions and behavior.
It’s like going to the gym. I don’t always want to go, but I know I’ll feel better afterward. Same thing with spiritual practice. Remembering your “why“ helps you show up.
Additionally, it’s not a matter between you and some higher power. It’s between you and you.
And about discipline—I used to think of it as a harsh word. But discipline comes from disciple, which means student. So being disciplined is really about being a student of life, of the universe.
Tool 2: Create a New Morning Routine
This was a game-changer for me.
My old routine felt stale. Yoga, breathwork, pull a card, repeat.
So I shook things up. I started playing guitar in the morning as a way to connect with my spirit and feed my soul. That small shift brought new life to my practice.
I added yoga again, but with fun music, and just moved however my body wanted to. That made it more joyful and alive.
So for you: create your own morning practice.
It doesn’t have to be meditation or yoga.
It could be:
- Journaling
- Talking to your higher self
- Going for a walk
- Gardening
- Dancing
Anything that connects you to a flow state, to something you love, that’s your practice.
Make it fun. Make it interesting. When you love it, you look forward to it.
Tool 3: Get Out Into Nature
When I feel really disconnected, I get into nature.
Being in nature connects us to source energy, to Mother Earth. It quiets us, grounds us. It’s our home.
Nature is where we find common ground with the divine. It opens us up to miracles and wonder. It cleanses our energy, and it is, in and of itself, spiritual.
Go to a park. Go hiking. Find a place where you feel good.
For me, I go camping in the Pacific Northwest every year. That’s how I renew my spirit.
Bonus Tool: Gratitude
Gratitude connects us to our heart space.
It raises our energetic vibration and informs our mindset. I did a whole video on that a few weeks ago.
Use gratitude as a way to reconnect to your spirit. List three things you’re grateful for every day. That simple.
Don’t overcomplicate your spiritual practice.
Sometimes our high intellect kicks in and says:
“I need to meditate and do yoga and journal and light a candle and do breathwork and…”
Suddenly it’s a chore.
But it’s not about what you have to do. It’s about recentering.
Ask:
What feeds me?
What feels good?
When you approach your practice from a place of connection, love, and care for yourself, you’ll naturally want to prioritize it.
When your spiritual cup is full, you have energy to give. You feel good. You flow better in life.
So what’s your spiritual practice?
Do you have one?
