Challenge

My friend went through a period of massive change. He is promoted into a position of  much greater responsibility at work. Concurrently, he is also navigating life as a newly  married couple. These are changes he experienced while living in a new city with few  friends and no family in the area to rely on.

He became overly stressed. He quickly found himself feeling like he wasn’t excelling at  the things that mattered most to him. He started to come out from important aspects of  his life. He stopped playing, exercise,  roaming new place. He stopped thinking over  what he is eating. he started feel more stress and not able to find the way to come out  of it. He became more distant from his close friends and family. He stopped taking the  time to have meaningful conversations with friends & family, to do the things that made  him happy. This way he is losing himself. he is far from himself and I realise that I have  to do something to make a change and get him back to happy and healthy life.

Selection

I didn’t realize it until months later, that I will use a design thinking approach to help him  to get back to happy and healthy life. I am going to select storytelling tool to solve his  problem. The idea behind the selecting this tool is story of the happy and healthy living  friend will help him to come out of the stressed life.

Application

I knew I have to make an immediate change and I began a quick, yet intense evaluation  of his life to understand why he was feeling such loss of control. He is already feeling  sorry for his behaviour to friend and family. I have started to analyse him, his day to day  activity. Tried to make conversion with him to know more about the root cause that how  he become stressed and unhappy person. I started a personal journal to build deeper  insights into his own behavior and state-of-being and It will be very helpful to redesign  his life. Defining his problems, wants, needs, what make him stressed, what make him  happy, what is going in his mind, etc..

one of our friend is passing from the same situation and he is more happy at present  with new opportunity and new way of life. He got promoted to new role he accepts the  challenges using his settled mindset. He managed to complete his daily activity in time  frame and spending more time with his family and friends. He adopt the change in his  life and started to enjoying it in meaningful way.

Wow is Using the general I have insight on his problems that The stress, anxiety, and  lack of sleep made it difficult to make sense of what is going on in his mind, to help

clearly identify his problems. He need support of family and close friends. He need to let  go of long-lasting burdens. He need to live a life of courage and without fear. He need to  dream and push himself.

So I told the story of happy friend to him and I think it had big impact on his life to come  out of stress and live healthy life. It isn’t that, he didn’t know how to live happy and  healthy it is just burden of stress which keep him away to health and family. This small  story of well managed friend can put a big impact on his stressful life and can help him  to get the way to come out of it.

Insight & Approach

With the help of this course I have jumped to the Design Thinking Approach, and tried to  think out of the box solution. This course help me to generate new ideas and insights on  problems and Prototype the solutions. Story of successful person can put big impact on  the person’s mind. This can be a game changer for the person who is really in a need of  it.

Next time I will come out with more data over the problem, as much details as I can  collect. I will try another tool to solve this problem to check that any other better and  more effective approach is there!!
