How to sooth ourselves

MeowmySenior Contributor

How to sooth ourselves

@Owlunar @Zoe7 @Bunniekins I am at a new phase of life. I think ability to sooth ourselves is very important. I have an aging mum with early dementia. Can be difficult to deal with. I try to soothe myself when she is grumpy. Sometimes, I find playing music soothing. I find now reading books a bit emotionally challenging, with aroused emotions reading the books clashing my underlying ones.

I find reading the forum soothing. Sometime watching TV.

Sometimes read funny stories or watch funny videos.

Tell us what can sooth you. Very interested.
