How can we cultivate spontaneity while working on ourselves?

Spontaneity arises not from cultivation, but from the removal of all that obstructs your true self; when the mind is empty, the authentic flow of your being emerges effortlessly.

— Osho
According to Osho, spontaneity cannot be cultivated; it appears when we stop adding and start removing. Work on yourself negatively: practice NETI NETI - dropping thoughts, memories, desires and roles - until the mind's barriers are empty. Like digging a well, clearing the rocks lets the inner water flow. When nothing blocks your self-nature, spontaneity bursts forth naturally, deep and authentic, not an acted mask.

Stop trying to act natural; gently clear away busy thoughts and labels, and your true self will move on its own.
