Stressdesigner? Indeed, Stressdesigner!
Conflicts are an invitation for a dance!!
From the moment i invented the concept of Stressdesigner and started using the word “Stressdesigner” in my daily conversations, the reactions were either amused or irritated. And this hasn’t changed. For me as the Stressdesigner, the word itself is a shortcut to find out how the person in question is dealing with stress.
The persons who react irritated are my favourites, they really need me as their Stressdesigner! Because they seem to think stress is something negative, a disease or a threat.
The persons being amused - and therefore curious - get my point: stress is a positive energetic sign of the need to change or improve. The only thing that has to be done is to find out what this energy is and design a purpose and effective application for it! A design to stress joy! And don’t forget that:
It sounds all so simple, and in the end it is, but the art of being a Stressdesigner is fed by clarity, courage, patience and a humorous and critical approach to the self. Accusing “the world” of imposing stress upon you won’t do, because “the world” doesn’t exist. But the good news is: Everyone can become a Stressdesigner.
One can only change oneself and not the world! Do you ever say hello to yourself? Welcome to the invention of Stressdesigning, yours sincerely,
the Stressdesigner Henri C. van Zanten
