Dear Verywell Mind readers,

How are you doing? We know it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by your own anxiety right now. However, just taking a moment to reach out to a friend, coworker, or loved one to say hello or ask how they are doing can make a big difference to not only their mental health, but to your own.

Today we're sharing an article on ways you can build empathy in your life. Research shows that empathy boosts social connectedness and improves your ability to regulate emotions. Empathy is always important but is particularly vital during a public health crisis.

So, consider how you can reach out and help someone else today (from 6 feet away). And just remember that we're here to help you with any questions you have during this time.
