WFH stress?

The doorbell rang and kept ringing till Simon was done with it

Boiling inside Simon woke up to rise from bed and confront the intruder

Well, that's how he felt but it was the alarm that he had set in the mobile phone which was ringing

It was an awkward situation, he began to wonder whether the lockdown is taking a toll on him

This was odd because to start with he has never missed a set alarm and secondly, mind wandering was completely, way off

True that the work from home WFH is stress due to the unscheduled working hours but he found that quite manageable

Off late many of his colleagues and friends were attending online meditation, yoga and physical workout sessions

Some of them were also consulting with the psychiatrist since they wished to test their mental strength

Simon was born in a family of entrepreneurs and has gone through the mill of multiple ups & downs in his life

These experiences at a young age have made him grow into a man of steel

Hence the pandemic lockdown affecting his pay package, the long working hours and the demanding work

Hasn't deterred him from finding a fine work-life balance rather it was a blessing as he finally found his fingers holding the brush to stroke a lively painting

Mind diversion in this art helped him to calm down and the landscape paintings took him virtually to those Nature abundant places of beauty

Of late he had been contemplating starting virtual sessions to impart the art skill to his friends and colleagues to help them find peace and content

Simon thought 'what is the point of being born as human if compassion and care isn't shown in times of need'

The first art online class of 30 minutes slot is scheduled to begin this morning at 8 am and end in time for all of them

To log in, in time for their daily work schedule -
He wished that these art class sessions will ease the minds of the participants and help them to remain able & stable 🤝
