Keep alive the sense of purpose ( spiritual development ) in any work, conversation and behavior. Remember that all the activity is done to accelerate the journey to achieve our goal. Create a habit of always remembering living awareness of the purpose ( BHAVA ) during reading, writing and performing any action.
My two cents ---
You encounter pleasant and unpleasant situations during the day. It may include jealous or friendly co workers , generous raise, pink slip, tedious commuting, birth of a child etc. To remember and keep
alive the living awareness of Sadhana during these different situations is difficult. The secrete is to start somewhere and if the effort is genuine, progress is sure to come.
You may ask " what is the living awareness of sadhana? ".
Take an example of tedious commuting. You can get upset and unhappy everyday or enjoy the ride listening to music or news. But there is another way. Think and feel that this is an opportunity to observe your self (enjoying, angry at times, amused, emotional etc ), correct your self and in the process little advancement towards spiritual path.
TO HAVE THE AWARENESS OF THE WHOLE PROCESS AND FEELING THE GRATITUDE TOWARDS GOD FOR GIVING YOU THIS OPPORTUNITY IS THE LIVING AWARENESS
( BHAVA ) OF SADHANA.
You can practice this when other driver cuts in front you!
