What worked for me and people around me: help other people. Not yourself. Volunteer at organizations for disabled people. For example, help blind people with Internet stuff basics or read them books (or textbooks!). Volunteer about a nursing home. You'd be surprised how many interesting older folks are out there.

Then, there are small things that can also give you realization. For example, there's a famous YouTuber who goes with a rake clearing up drains. But be prepared, be careful, and give a heads up to authorities so there are no problems. But forget about showing it to other people. Be an unsung hero. For yourself.
