Blossoming Mind

Painting by : Harshitha D

Dear Readers:

A glance at this drawing may evoke many responses and thoughts. I have drawn this picture keeping in mind the current situation.

We have lost many people around us due to the infectious disease known as COVID-19, at the same time we have lost many people by suicide due to failure to cope with life’s demands. This shows that the pandemic days have created so much of imbalance in the people's mental health. The situation is getting worse day by day. But if we look at the whole situation objectively we notice that many people have recovered from the infection by being positive, learning to improve their immunity. Others have learnt to take responsibility to maintain their health both physical and mental by motivating themselves to follow healthy life style.

Thus my painting portrays that it all depends on how a person maintains ones mental health...if we nourish ourselves with good practices then we can lead a healthy fruitful and enriching life. We should cultivate blooming flowers by watering them by positive thoughts of gratitude, compassion, self-esteem, self-confidence and Hope. We can boost our character being optimistic, creating happiness for self and others around us in the society. Thus I create my destiny. My physical and mental health is in my hands.

Wishing you all Good Health.
