Regression Discussion > Non normal data and regression

My model has seven independent variables and one dependent variable. Each are sub-scales for a 5 point likert scale questionairre. I tested each variable data and they are all non normal. I did spearman correlation and identified several significant correlations. I tried testing the model using linear regression but a very small R square. I am considered a beginner in statistics hence i dont know what other technique i need to use in order to test my model. I have small sample size of 247.Hope anyone can help me.
The variables are continuous scale.
