By doing this, you’ll be able to come back to the situation you’re in rather than feeling detached. For example, you might say this: “I am at the dinner table. My sister is here eating with me. We are eating cereal. The cereal tastes very sweet and smells fruity. I’m wearing pajamas that feel soft on my skin. My sister is talking to me. She’s asking me if I want something to drink.” ” This helps you engage with the present, which grounds you in the moment. It’s similar to the game “I spy,” in that you’ll pick out certain things in your environment. Here are a few great prompts for doing this grounding activity:  How many red items do I see? How many round objects can I count? What kinds of patterns do I see? What can I smell? What do I hear? How are my senses engaged?

No matter what your stage in life, everyone can learn something new and develop a talent or skill. Developing new skills helps to bolster your self-confidence.  Try a sport like skiing or golfing, or join a choral group or amateur comedy club. Relax your expectations and don't strive for perfection; just have fun and meet people while giving it your best shot.  Some skills, such as learning a foreign language or computer coding, are also great for bolstering your mental sharpness. Creativity has more than one advantage when it comes to keeping your mind sharp and keeping a positive attitude: creativity forces you to think and flex your mental muscles, and the results of your hard work can reinforce your self-confidence and help you enjoy your daily life.  Try your hand at writing poetry, sewing, taking up a musical instrument, gardening, or painting. If you don't feel artistic or creative, baking or writing in a journal are also great ways to express yourself requiring less technical skill. Try applying creative approaches to daily tasks like shopping on a budget or creating a new recipe with dietary restrictions or limited ingredients. Keep a good attitude about your ability to find solutions in every-day situations. Especially as you age, giving back to your community can give you a sense of purpose and identity that contributes to a positive outlook on life and a good attitude toward the aging process. Try serving meals at a homeless shelter, volunteering at a senior center to write letters for residents, or working with youth or children at your local faith-based organization. Having a regularly scheduled volunteer job can help you make friends and help others. It is true that as you age, you will not be able to do everything you could do when you were younger. But instead of seeing those as failures, reframe them as natural, and refocus on things you can do. Reframing involves looking at your current situation with fresh eyes. In many ways, attitude is everything: you can reframe a negative thought or experience to make it positive. For example, you may not be able to recall things as well as you used to, but instead of seeing that as a personal failure or an embarrassment, recognize it as a natural effect of a life well lived. Scientists have done hundreds of studies on the benefits of a grateful attitude, which include boosting your happiness and life satisfaction. There are several strategies you can try to increase gratitude:  Write a letter of thanks to someone who has made a difference in your life, and deliver it to them with a gift.  Spend time writing. Every day for a week (or more), write down at least three things that you experienced that you're grateful for. They can be big or small.  Write how it made you feel. Making this a daily practice, perhaps writing every night before bed, can help you cultivate a grateful attitude.
