Here is part 2 of Improving Your Spirituality: 
Keeping It Simple And Concrete. To Continue our list of spirituality tips
Get healthy
Being physically fit and eating in a healthy fashion simply feels good. Being fit and engaging in an appropriate diet helps keep the body toned and the mind more receptive toward spirituality.
Have fun
This is the part I like. Believe it or not, being spiritual does not only mean being serious at all times. Ironically, being spiritual allows you the freedom to not take yourself too seriously. Why not engage in some hobby or activity for the simple fun of it. You could begin by exploring sports, hobbies or whatever it is that catches your fancy.
Serve, serve, serve
For some people, doing some volunteer activities or doing some acts of random kindness works best to help them become more spiritual. Helping someone out out not for some ulterior motive makes people feel good inside. It is a true win-win situation.
Practice non-judgment
This is hard to accomplish because everyone makes judgements all the time. When you judge someone or something you really are comparing them to your own standards. If they are do not meet your standards you can look down on them and feel better than them. If they exceed your ideas you could feel inferior. This is a lose-lose situation.
Show gratitude
There is actually a lot to be thankful for in our lives. The instant you discover the many wonderful things that life has to offer, and appreciate what you already have in life, the world opens up itself to positive possibilities. Again, try to practice each day appreciating an aspect in your life you know you are grateful for. Thank the universe for another day to spend and another day to make yourself, your life, or others lives better.
Become objective
Ironically, seeing things objectively helps in developing your spirituality. There may be times when we live seeing life with the isead that there is only one opinion, ours. We then become frustrated when the world does not live up to our expectations. The world is at it is, we cannot control it beyond ourselves. The world is what you are, and how you perceive it. When it comes down to it, developing one’s Spirituality takes time and effort. The rewards however, for the time invested are limitless.

I have found myself a few times judging certain things other people do, and thinking to myself that it's just not the right thing to do and that they are wrong. I have made an effort though to put myself in the other person's shoes and try to see it from their perspective. And you know what ? By doing that I really did see a totally different side of the situation.
Very good tips here. Thanks so much for writing this !

Spirituality is an interesting thing. Of course everyone agrees that being physically and mentally healthy is important. But being spiritually healthy is just as important, in my opinion. Having strong convictions, whether you're agnostic, aethiest, or part of an organized religion is important to your well-being. I personally find that elements of faith are beneficial to my overall wellbeing… even elements that are "silly"… it's just nice to have a dedicate practice or ritual. It's stabilizing.

We are all blessed with spirituality it’s just that we see it in different perspective in our life. Sometimes at work I complain so much of the many things to do but just for a moment I realized that I may be just be lucky to have a job than those who are endlessly looking and searching for a job but can’t find one. We should be thankful of the blessing each day especially our jobs because it is our jobs that we can eat 3 times a day and send our children to better school. Spirituality is something we can hang on when things just don’t go the way things we want it to be.

I'd like to add something to the Practice Non-Judgement paragraph. While going through recovery, practice being non-judgmental with yourself, too. It's easy enough to beat up on yourself when a person isn't fight an addictive behavior, but it can be extremely difficult when you are fighting a behavorial issue. Be kind to yourself and give yourself the benefit of the doubt.
