A practical toolbox approached in a holistic way

“You wake up as a human being. All with a first thought and a first role, such as a parent or partner, with all the accompanying habits. Your mood that arises here inevitably influences your work and your professional performance.

–  Erik Wegewijs, owner of SFTJO

With a passion for human behavior, Erik Wegewijs and Bas Kremer founded Special Forces Tussen je Oren (SFTJO). SFTJO focuses on fundamental human capacities such as consciousness, autonomy, and adaptability, which flourish when the individual is in balance.

SFTJO offers a practical toolbox for resilience based on years of experience in the Special Forces and insights from both ancient Eastern philosophies and modern Western sciences. This holistic approach forms the core of their beliefs.

TinQwise Q
Let's talk about

Bas and Erik's three pillars:

Attentive
This means consciously focusing your attention on your own behavior and perception. It gives you the ability to look at yourself from a distance and realize that both your body and your brain are 'tools' that your consciousness can use.
Autonomous
Learn to give meaning to your experiences and take responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Only then do you have control.
Adaptive
The entrenched philosophy of SFTJO serves as an anchor. It fosters resilience in a rapidly changing world, as described in the VUCA concept. The concept emphasizes the importance of thinking flexibly, adaptably, and innovatively to address the challenges of modern organizations.

Working with the pillars on an online platform

Bas Kremer

Bas and Erik, blending these pillars with their unique experiences, crafted an accessible online platform where well-being and progress seamlessly intertwine. Their aim is to facilitate a journey that bridges the realms of philosophy, communication, and psychology, allowing individuals to realize that their approach is universally applicable. Through this, both professionals and organizations can effectively attain their goals.

The worst managers

Bas states that we are often inadequate in managing our own 'chemical factory' - our body. A staggering 70% of individuals operate in survival mode, and over a million people in the Netherlands struggle with autoimmune diseases. The root cause? Imbalance. Notably, even children are more familiar with their phones than with the workings of their own bodies in today's age.

Break the cycle of imbalance

On their platform, SFTJO provides a self-development program designed to break the cycle of imbalance and encourage well-being and progress. Anyone for enduring change, recognizing the importance of retaining what is learned. As individuals grasp how to navigate inner challenges through awareness, mindset, courage, and discipline, a realm of possibilities unfolds.

In addition to Bas and Erik's philosophical perspective, you gain practical insights into applying their principles. Combine this with their theoretical explanation, and you have the transformative tools of Special Forces at your fingertips.

 

We are trying to convey a certain mentality. In practice, we have seen that this can even help people with PTSD.”   

- Bas Kremer, owner of SFTJO  

 

Always seeking the easiest route 

That doesn't imply that the self-development program is a walk in the park. Changing behavior is one of the toughest challenges. Your body and mind resist change; they prefer the familiar, energy-efficient paths. To initiate change, you must summon mental strength, stepping beyond your comfort zone. It's in this brave move that you overcome mental and physical hurdles, and with time, you might even find enjoyment in overcoming these challenges.

“What if I say that happiness is not the ultimate goal in life but a prerequisite for living? Happiness automatically flows from balance.” 

- Bas Kremer, owner of SFTJO 

The architect of your inner state

Motivation alone is not enough. Motivation might spur you on, but as soon as the alarm goes off at 6 am, it can just as easily disappear.” 

- Erik Wegewijs, owner of SFTJO 

 

No one seems to be born with a built-in compass to gauge whether you are truly balanced. However, as the architect of your inner state, you can regulate your mood. Seize control by deliberately choosing where you direct your attention and taking full responsibility for your choices.

This transforms you from a mere bystander into the director of your own life, influencing how swiftly external stressors knock you off balance. Consider how factors like lack of sleep, sorrow, natural disasters, wars, loss, and even everyday tasks like shopping and caring for children impact your inner world.

SFTJO's conviction on a learning platform

Erik Wegewijs

Bas and Erik consciously opted for a learning platform to share their beliefs and approach, as it ensures the message sticks more effectively. If they merely aimed for passive listening, they'd put their story on YouTube. They emphasize the significance of their message because the quest for balance often goes overlooked from one generation to the next.

We're all human, and by chance, we each have a profession. Given the substantial time we invest in our work every week, it makes sense for your chosen profession to align with your goals and for the values of the company to resonate with your own.” 

- Erik Wegewijs, owner of SFTJO

The keys to your well-being and health

The focus often shifts to education and work, leaving a gap in understanding ourselves as living beings and how we can make the most of our potential. Genuine comprehension of the human mind often arises when individuals confront burnout and seek help from a psychologist. Bas and Erik stress that you have the keys to your own well-being and health. If you're looking to enhance your quality of life, why wait? Take a meaningful step toward personal growth and invest in the SFTJO platform.
