We know we shouldn’t be greeting each other with handshakes and hugs right now, so how do we continue to maintain a connection with one another while keeping our distance? If you’re going on a run, riding your bike, or driving solo to clear your head, the communication doesn’t have to stop completely. Luckily, there are alternatives to greeting with a handshake.
Show people you care with:
- The wave (saying “Hello”)
- The hand on heart (expressing empathy)
- Praying hands (namaste)
- Hands to chest and thumbs up (“How are you?”)
- The ‘Hi-Brows’ (acknowledging someone)
- The nod (signaling all good)
- Chin to the sky (East Coast wave)
- The shoulder shrug (all curious together)
