THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM AND THE HABITS

🔊 Listen to Post

There are numerous books that inform and instruct us about human habit, a practice that is defined as a repetitive conduct, conscious or unconscious, within the behavior of an individual.

Habits are classified into two great universes, good and bad habits, and within these two universes we find diverse classes that differentiate them from each other: physical, mental, affective, emotional, social, ethical or moral, dogmatic, academic or intellectual, etc., and all of them may belong to two or more categories.

Despite this differentiation between habits, we can point out that all have the same structure in their routine and proceed: they are constituted by a chain of attitudes and needs of the physical, spiritual and mental type, which can be represented in a graphic manner as a conformation of nodes and links.

Each node and link in the chain works in combination with the rest of them. The following graphic is a schematic representation of that dynamic and vigorous structure.

The nodes Ai represent the different attitudes, behaviors and needs that in each performance of a habit, participate for its exercise and release.

What we are particularly interested in dealing with within these 2 universes and in the wide range of the world of habits, is the sector of those in which the human being seeks an evasion of their commitments, obligations and responsibilities, even without existing no authority that imposes them, just by feeling responsible for taking an attitude or performing any action. That is, those where the human being consciously or unconsciously refuses to play certain roles, and does not know, does not understand and does not want to do so, either for the achievement of a satisfaction or rejection of negative behavior. We must also note that within these 2 universes and their types, we find in the behavior of each individual and according to their emotional and mental inclinations, the dominant habit type, which reaches a certain level of oppression and emotional-mental power, which gets become a very dangerous and harmful mania.

Now, with respect to the acquisition of a new habit, the repetition of an action is usually recommended, a certain number of times, and under certain identical conditions, until it becomes inherent to the self. Let’s go to its definition: Habit is the conduct acquired by the frequent repetition of an act or action. It simply suggests what is in its essence of conformation. It is correct, however, in addition to the concrete action must be considered the entire chain of links that lead to its performance and acquisition, becoming aware of the attitudes and activities that are exercised in a controlled environment, and behavioral conduct of the person who I’m putting it into practice.

On the other hand, to eliminate harmful habits, it is recommended to replace the unwanted action with a new one, as well as change the environment where the individual can no longer carry out the habit.  Also here we can say that these suggestions are acceptable.

When talking about drugs it is also recommended that the person should not have access to the stimulant, and in extreme cases the punishment is suggested, a situation that is not advisable. 

On the acquisition of new good habits, I would like to mention some factors that, through the System of walking, reading, writing and drawing (WALK-RWD System), are articulated.

One of the concrete products obtained through the application of this system is the achievement of the habit of walking. The certainty and infallibility of it, as we have explained in several previous writings (OBJECTIVES OF THE SYSTEM; HARMONY OF THE BODY WITH THE MIND; THE SYSTEM IS MOTIVATIONAL BY ITSELF), is that the activities of reading, writing and drawing, serve, each of them, as triggers of the rest. I have mentioned it many times: reading is the activity that motivates me most personally and this drives me to walk, a little or a lot; this practice has never failed me, because reading is invariably the driving force for me of the other 3 activities. As these 4 activities co-operate with each other, the habit of carrying them out in pairs and sometimes in triads is created, which at the end of everything -after a few weeks or months-  we can see that this habit has been incorporated in a way inherent to our being. What is a habit, after all? It is an implanted need repeated -and linked- that our being has to put it into practice, at certain times and under certain circumstances for the achievement of any objective and our being identifies with it in some way, for better or for worse, from that we feel that guide to realize it, likewise during its development and even after having consummated it. This need, thus created, is presented periodically, recurrently and usually under a certain emotional, physical and spiritual state, and under circumstantial conditions, which lead the individual mentally to make it concrete.

All the benefits that are obtained directly in our body, either preventively or corrective, are increased with the advances that are obtained, day by day, in the fields of reading and writing. After a few weeks, you will feel better, both physically and culturally because of the new documents read and the literary creation you have made.

The only thing that you have to decide is to start this method and be tenacious at the beginning, because with the same achievements that you will start to obtain from the initiation, you will have your own motivation to continue for the rest of your life. 

There are studies where it is mentioned that during the adolescent years it is when the bad habits are generated in which the human being -man and woman- project him towards his adult age, with a high percentage, to suffer any of the heart diseases, gastric , pulmonary, etc., and that can be avoided, changing those habits, by incorporating this type of disciplines that guide us towards a healthier physical, cultural and mental development.

For people of early age (14 to 18 years old) it is highly recommended because it is when you start to acquire habits that transform us into sedentary beings; we prefer the car instead of walking. In this period is when we must strengthen the heart, circulation and lungs, and what better than by a habit of walking daily and also reading and even initiating us in a creative writing.

I could almost assure that a young person who works with this system, at 14-15 years old, will reach adulthood being an excellent reader with good discipline in all the activities he develops and also with a taste for writing, which will facilitate his development as a professional, and could become, as an adult, a good writer.

The system counteracts sedentary habits, helps in the elimination of excess calories generated by too much food, mitigates psychological problems, but usually can not help anything in the hereditary genes. The hereditary issue can be explained by the process that some people remove fat more slowly than average, so it could be corrected by a reduction in the amount of food in the three meals a day, or by eliminating a meal, for example, dinner. It could also be corrected, increasing the miles of walk.

In a future post (COMBATING SOME ENEMIES WITH THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM: OBESITY) I will make the exhibition of how to lose weight using this System of walking, reading, writing and drawing (WALK-RWD System), procedure that is explained in the corresponding manual of my authorship; however, the pattern of habit formation, which I have previously exposed, as a chain of attitudes and needs of the physical, spiritual and mental, graphic types of events and links, allows us to eliminate any type of harmful habit. To eliminate a habit you have to break with the respective chain in any of its activities; for which it is necessary to look for the weakest and most accessible points in order to break the chain of activities, behaviors and needs.
