Passion is the fundamental emotional vibration to carry out any human activity. The same happens with the WALK-RWD system; passion is required to put it into practice daily, more easily and more effectively
Traducido al Español
Walking based on another activity is more attractive, productive and permanent, such as reading, writing and drawing. These 3 structured activities within the WALK-RWD system decisively provide a clear and forceful passion while walking (Post LOOKING FOR PASSION IN THE REALIZATION OF THINGS, WHILE WE WALK). In addition, as we have pointed out and verified as we have been developing the Blog, the WALK-RWD system is a prodigal agent through other sources of motivation and passion, such as meditating, contemplating, abstracting, creating ideas, increasing creativity, disease prevention, increase in health, relaxing, self-motivation (Post PASSION AND TIME WALK TOGETHER), increase in cognitive performance, elimination of negative habits, corrective and preventive method for health, self-liberation of negative emotions, etc.
Personally, when I lack the desire to walk, which are very rarely the times I find myself without that taste, I immediately think about what I can accompany her with, whether with a good book or with some text that I am writing – or that I am about to develop. – and with that it is enough to catapult myself and start my walk (departure to walk).
For this reason, I always have a passion for going out for a walk, because I also have some “companion activity” to do it with passion. As always I have something to read, draw or write, which I am passionate about, I am practically always happy to start the walks.
From what I have heard from people and they have directly corroborated it, maintaining health in optimal conditions is not enough nor is it very exciting to move a human being to walk.
Let’s see what is the reason for this post, which is related to certain work activities, all those that could develop while walking.
I know how passionate a person can be in their office, school, etc. work. That alienating motivation that is felt when one is enjoying doing certain activities that abstract us. A satisfactory job that looks for it and finds it oneself: they are incentives, harmonies, creative activities, new ideas and new processes, help and assistance to your coworkers, advice to those who approach you, etc., you can enlist dozens of these moments where we feel highly productive and passionate, pretty good about ourselves.
These parameters I have already pointed out in 2 previous posts, which would allow companies to increase the labor productivity of their employees, by implementing this WALK-RWD system within the same physical environment of their facilities. (Post EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY IN OTHER FIELDS; and Post THE SYSTEM CAN BE INCORPORATED TO COMPANIES). That is, the daily activities of writing, reading and drawing that are necessarily the production base of a high percentage of offices, are carried out while walking, in areas designed for it, within the workplace.
Sometimes it is hard to find or maintain that passion or taste for work, but that is what this scheme is that I transmit to current generations – those who are starting and those who are economically active – and for future ones.
I have already expressed that it is not easy to develop a passion for just walking.
In fact, for boys and girls – Freyre, a Brazilian pedagogue, said – knowledge of any kind acquired outside the classroom became especially significant in the open air and unforgettable.
If you manage to take the office work to the walk, -or the walk to the office work-, that passion will have an impact on the miles that you can walk without you noticing. I have already mentioned what happens to me personally: a book that I am passionate about makes me walk 3 miles and when I realize it, 60 minutes have passed. Or the writing of a text that I am passionate about makes me walk another 6 miles.
The model can be used backwards: that job that is forgotten because it is boring or detestable, but that you inevitably have to do for your company, you may think that since you have the obligation to do it, at least you will give your body -and mind- that walk and it will benefit your health. You will see that it does work. It’s kind of looking at things in reverse, but if you have to do it anyway, at least you walked and you also gave your spirit some ‘oxygenation’.
The answer is to organize that AMBULANTE OFFICE WHILE YOU WALK. It is not easy, but neither is it impossible, if you discover how to take that passion to the trails near your home, an “Office while you walk”, and so you can have that “carrot” every day to go out for a walk with passion.
Certain care must be taken to carry out this implementation (organization and execution), such as the weight and support (the load) of the equipment, the balance of the body and some other aspects that must be taken into account for this new way of working. (Future posts PARTS OF THE BODY TO WALK-THE CARE OF THEM; THE SYMMETRY OF THE BODY AND THE WALKING) .
Try it at least a few times with different topics or problems to solve, and you will surely receive a satisfactory answer, through new ideas that will allow you to solve them faster and more efficiently. Try it and tell us your results on this blog. Try and don’t give up.
On the other hand, I would like to comment on what is happening right now.
The important thing is to raise awareness of what may come or is already incorporated in our family, social and work environment.
Be aware of what is happening against our health and specifically the increase in stress, due to multiple factors, and among them decisively is sedentary lifestyle, in social, cultural and productive environments, especially the workplace.
Unfortunately and concretely, we are being transformed into more sedentary beings. We no longer walk to go to our workplace. For a high percentage of the world population, we will no longer walk either to get to our car or to take the bus, nor during the respective and few moments that were before, associated with these actions, we walked inside the bus, nor did we do it to get off it, and head to the office, etc.
This trend towards sedentary lifestyle -which has been accentuating for the last century- we had already pointed out in previous posts (Post HOMO-ITER, MAN WALKER, PART I; and Post HOMO ITER, MAN WALKER, PART II), however, what has happened in recent months represents a true paralysis of being in terms of moving on foot.
Clearly we will become “labor statues” (also in statues in the rest of the human sectors) and we will be one of the immovable (furniture) articles that surround us, with an enormous possibility of detriment to the human race (Future Post CHRONICLE OF A DISAPPEARANCE ANNOUNCED IN THE PLEISTOCENE). You hear this very exaggerated, however, as I have mentioned: having stood up and walked, millions of years ago, transformed us into HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS, and this led us to these historical moments; if we sit down and do not walk, we will transform ourselves into a possible HOMO-OBITUS, which will announce itself its sundown.
Try your new AMBULANTE OFFICE WHILE YOU WALK and you will see that it will give you good results.
F*ckin’ remarkable difficulties right here. I am really pleased to glimpse your article. Thanks a great deal and i’m Waiting for contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?
Aunque no he practicado la disciplina de caminar leyendo, estoy de acuerdo que teniendo un libro en mano hace mas ligero o incluso pasan desapercibidas actividades que uno piensa que no le gustan, en mi caso cuando aprendí a llevarme un libro al banco y desde entonces ya no se me hizo pesado hacer fila para que ser atendido, gracias por sus consejos

Gracias Ingeniero Vargas por sus comentarios. Efectivamente la lectura de un libro tiene ese beneficio de abstracción y otros más. Hacerlo caminando tiene otras ventajas que nadie debe perderse, pues impulsa al cerebro a mejorar su funcionamiento y a tener mejores ideas, aparte de los beneficios que genera en nuestra salud. Muchas gracias y saludos.
