Seeking Allah's Guidance After Feeling Spiritually Distant

Assalamu alaikum, dear brothers and sisters. I've been going through a period where I feel really far from Allah, and it's been weighing on me, especially during Ramadan. My prayers feel robotic when I manage to do them, and I'm not drawn to reading the Quran or finding peace in dhikr like I used to. Honestly, it scares me a bit-though even that fear feels kind of muted, like my emotions are foggy and buried deep down. I find myself tearing up over everyday things but struggle to cry when remembering Allah, which worries me because I truly want to reconnect, pray with sincerity, and strive to be the best Muslim I can be. The thing is, I know my heart has hardened, and softening it won't happen overnight, but I'm lost on where to start. I need practical steps to rely on Allah again, rebuild my faith, and actively seek His closeness. Any advice would mean the world. Jazakallah Khayran, and may Allah reward you for your kindness and support.
