Reflection 

 Challenge & Selection 

 I was always fascinated with the concept of ‘ ignorance is bliss ’ and how people follow it religiously but   what ’s more fascinating is ‘ you ca n’t wake up a person who is pretending to sleep ’ . Now all this might   sound completely unrelated and here is when I come to my tool of storytelling . People ignore their health   and wellbeing till the time it goes from ‘ prevention to cure ’ stage and this is where I used this tool of   Design Thinking to make people aware and help them act proactively . As every other good organization ,   which has a well - maintained fitness center and decent instructors to guide people , my organization also   offers the same to its employees , but footfalls to the fitness center are miniscule in number and   randomized ( non - regular ) . That intrigued me because people ‘ want ’ to be healthy but they do n’t put the   effort to be and remain healthy . They see it as an end state , whereas it is a state to be in . I used this tool   to make people understand that ‘ being healthy ’ is a moving goal post and not a stationary one , to create   a cause for being healthy . 

 Application 

 Whenever I meet people who are seeking to get fit and are struggling to start , I share my friend ’s story   with them . He was diagnosed with various ailments simultaneously due to which he could n’t focus on his   career aspirations . It was n’t by birth that my friend had these ailments but he acquired them due to his   sedentary life habits and ignorance towards his health in general . I have 2 pictures of him which serve as   a reminder for me and trigger for others to start exercising . These 2 pics are his ‘ before ’ exercise ( ailment )   and ‘ after ’ exercise ( when he started regular exercise ) pics . By dramatizing and painting a sorry / dreadful   picture and hence fear , I have made 2 of my colleagues to exercise regularly in our organization ’s fitness   facility and now they promote fitness to their colleagues . 

 Insight 

 Since it was an interactive session and people were speaking their heart out , I could understand that as   usually shown / publicized , its not about the time but priorities . When fitness makes it to top of the priority   list of people , they would be motivated enough to exercise . So as a follow up to this reflection , I would   like to move ahead with the possibility of making fitness to the top of priority list of people . Another   insight is people seek partners while doing an activity ( like exercising ) which also acts as a support pillar   for them , so existence of a community around them creates a favorable environment . 

 Approach 

 Well this design thinking tool broadened my way of thinking and approaching a problem but going   forward , I might want to focus more on creating a cause , based on the audience rather than a transaction ,   which only few people can relate to . I can also see myself using other design tools like learning launch and   visualization to address the same problem .
