3. Checking on Neighbors in Need
If you live with your family then it’s likely that the pandemic has been easier on you than those who live alone. The elderly, people who are ill or don’t have families nearby to help them out have been severely affected by lockdown restrictions.
If you’ve frequently checked up on them or offered to buy groceries, for example, make sure you keep it up even after all of this ends. It’s important to care for the people around us and a little helping hand can go a long way.
The next time you’re heading out, drop by your neighbor’s house and check if they need anything. Sometimes, even a small conversation can go a long way, even from a distance.
4. Supporting Local Businesses
We’ve all heard by now how some businesses have actually done incredibly well during the pandemic. But locally-owned restaurants and bookstores, for example, have suffered greatly from the moment they had to shut their doors.
It’s important to support them however we can. Thankfully, some have made it easier by shifting their businesses online. Whenever you can, make sure you opt for them instead of mega-corporations that will probably thrive even without your business!
