What makes fast days meaningful for you?

Tisha B’Av just started in my time zone. What is something you do on Tisha B’Av or any sad fast day to help you really feel the meaning within the day?

I am baruch hashem able to fast this year but in previous years I was not medically allowed to. I usually did a lot of research about all the fasts and think about it before I ate. If you have anything please share it.
