Allah sends a lot of signs, but we must intensify good deeds.
Example can be "dunya" acts of altruism (for example working free in community, donations, stipends, waqf, sadaqah, kindness, mercy, duas for others and so on)
Or intense ibadah:
First, aftar say common fardh as 5 prayers, fasts, zakah and hajj, practicing morning, evening ad before sleep adhkaar and dua as from Ad Dua Divine Help Palanpuri or Hisn al Muslimi.
Giving a lot of sadaqah day and night (for example very practical online Islamic Relief, Muslim hands, Muslim Charity, Islamic aid and others, or common community donations, non sadaqah gifts etc.).
Spending last ten nights in itiqaf, wake and doing dhikr, estegfar, shukr, tasbeeh, tilawah etc.
Please read mornings and evenings at least 100x Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammadin wa barik wa sallim, La ilahe illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer, subhanallahe walhamdulillahi wa la ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil aliyyil adheem, ya hayyu ya qayyimu, ya qader ya muqtader ya nafia, ya hade ya haqq ya lateef, estagfirullah al adheem alladhee la ilaha illa huwal hayyul qayyumu wa atubu ilayh, shukrulillah, hasbunallahu wa niamal wakeel niamal mawla wa niamennaseer, hasbunallah rabunallah
Please find wording in Arabic.
Seeking wonders, best is to read at least 1000x each day and night.
It is important not to forget (it is advised in Ad Dua Divine help) to read surah Yasin mornings and evenings and Manzil.
Also this booklet is good add of sunnah duas:

Fast nawafil, (after Ramadan of course) every second day at best.
InshaAllah, after some months or a year-two you shall start to experience wonders and signs, and improve and augment in everything. After that do not forget to intensify more good deeds and acts of altruism.
In the time of sahaba there were hermits/monks that lived alone in praying towers, praying day and night, practically not leaving the tower or eating anything.
Islam is the middle path. Our prophet saws recieved a lot of mercy (for example, our namaz/salat is at least 10x less as it was before), but we must put efforts with zeal. Especially seeking wonders/signs.
Nowdays we work "for dunya" 8 hours daily, and 4 hours of nawafil ibadah is not that much.
Allah is awere of every minute detail of your thoughts, deeds, every leaf that falls from trees, everything. In namaz/salat or while saying duas you are talking/doing ibadah to Allah.
Do dhikr, salawat, estegfar, tasbeehs, shukr or tilawah in ecery idle time, with words or in mind (where social unacceptable), while commuting, doing fitness, waiting etc.
