More on the study led by Sherry Hamby of the Life Paths Appalachian Research Center in Monteagle, Tennessee.
Fun activities, things that fit our sense of humor. She recommends writing them down, provide as much detail you feel needed. One thing I could write down would be when at the VA I go to when starting to talk, my upper denture fell from the top inside my mouth and had to put it back in place to finish talking. I could have let it embarrass me but, I chose to find the humor in it. Silver lining activity, you were quilting and had to take stitches out. The silver lining would be that I can take pride in the quality of the quilt that was being made.
Mindfulness activities, mind breathing activities, body scan activity and self-compassion activity are all things you can do a google search, go on YouTube to get ideas. Along with workbooks and other things a local professional can recommend. How could you provide yourself with self-compassion? How about not beating yourself up when you make a mistake. What suggestions would you recommend to a loved one or friend?
