A happiness booster for pandemic times
👋 Today’s tip: Find an excuse to reach out to a neighbor.
In a time of pandemic-induced social isolation, as Paul Ollinger reminds us in his latest Forge column, there’s still connection to be found right outside your door.
“If each of us reaches out to a person down the street — even with something as simple as dropping off some fruit from your backyard or a package of Clorox wipes — we can create meaningful communities that enrich the lives of all involved,” Ollinger writes. Where it comes to happiness, those “micro-connections” count for much more than you might think. Especially now.
And that’s not a bad thing, either. “When you view life as local,” Ollinger reminds us, “your block becomes your world.”
