For any area of self improvement -- physical, intellectual, creative or spiritual -- go to a source you trust and a teaching/ technique that resonates with you.
Then submit to it fully.
Start small, but be regular in order to establish your practice and build it up from there. It is better to do a little each day than to do a lot in spurts.
Give it your all.
if you don't give it your best you will not benefit from it and you will never know why it didn't work -- was it you or was it the teaching/ technique? And you are likely to be plagued by doubt and regret, which you will carry to the next thing you try.
If it works, stick with it. If you slip in your practice, forgive yourself and start again.
If it doesn't work, give it up and try something else. Don't waste time with something that is not working just because you've already made some kind of investment in it (assuming you've done your best and given it enough time). It's not going to start working based on the size of your investment.
And always pray for Divine guidance and help :)
