Stressful times ahead: How this e27 webinar will help you keep calm and carry on

‘Stay at home’ is the lifestyle of the year. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has run over all our goals and plans for the year and left us with an indefinite vacuum to fill in and lots of time to internalise and reflect.

But the downward spiralling of the global economy, drastic lockdown measures by countries, and the rising number of positive cases and deaths are enough to drive the calmest of minds into a state of panic. Fear and anxiety are natural byproducts of this fast-spreading pandemic.

Living in a lockdown, lack of social interaction and worrying thoughts about the future — together with the uncertainty of when all this will end and when normalcy will return — can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children.

Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations. How you respond to the outbreak can depend on your background, the things that make you different from others, and the community you live in.

It is essential that we channelise all this time and energy to remain active and productive. From yoga-on-demand to free e-learning courses to finally starting to work on that pet project to catching up on family time, bringing about healthy changes to the lifestyle will help us keep all incessant worry at bay.

Life is not easy for the business folks either. Thanks to Slack and Zoom, work-from-home birdies are feeling less idle. But the fears of layoffs, cancelled events, and a creeping recession are enough to keep working professionals and founders up at night.

Amidst all the chaos, e27 understands the need for us to stay calm and focussed. 

Join us for a live meditation session with Bjorn Lee on April 2 at 1:30PM SGT and learn to keep your cool through the COVID-19 crisis.

Lee is a serial entrepreneur and technology executive with experience in Asia and Silicon Valley. He is also Founder and CEO of MindFi, a mindfulness app and B2B wellbeing platform.

He will share the theory and practice of science-based mindfulness meditation that includes 1-minute and long 10-minute daily practices to help working professionals to be

  • more positive
  • manage their focus and concentration
  • ease any worry or anxiety

In 2011, Lee was the Co-founder of Stickery, an educational games startup in San Francisco that was funded by Google Ventures. During that time, he suffered from stress-induced chest pains that were “cured” after he took his doctor’s advice to learn meditation.

In a subsequent role at Zendesk, his exposure to the high-pressure customer support industry made him realise mindfulness is not just a personal problem but a business problem, too.

Lee will share his learnings from life and share his meditation technique to fight panic and anxiety in these trying times.
