The generous things we can do:

Stay inside

Work from home

Embrace inconvenience

Take less than what you think you need

Don’t shake hands

Check-in on your neighbors (via phone)

Wash your hands

Remind others to wash their hands

Cough in your elbow

Be honest about your health

Shop local

Leave a larger tip

Wait to cancel memberships

Be informed

Don’t obsess about what you can’t control

Pick up a book

Learn a new skill

Write a blog

Share something new

Build something

Start something

Spend quality times with your kids, talk to them about their dreams

Spend quality time with your partner, look them in the eye

Meditate

Turn off Netflix (or video games)

Breathe

Relax

Be patient

Pray

Be grateful for what you have

Generosity is actually a posture. A posture each of us can develop.

The thing is with social distancing, being quarantined or temporarily inconvenienced is: this isn’t about you right now.
