As we deal with all of the impact related to Covid-19, we’re left to cope from a distance. There is only so much we can do over email, texts and web conferences, but a little extra can help.

• Ask the extra question about how a colleague’s family is doing.
• Take the time to call someone and/or send them a handwritten note, especially if you’re picking up clues they aren’t doing well.
• Give a little extra to an organization that is helping others get through this challenging time.

Focusing a little extra on others can help you focus less on yourself and help you maintain gratitude and a healthier perspective.
