THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM BOOSTS PERSONAL FULFILLMENT

🔊 Listen to Post

As we have been able to point out, throughout the 100 published posts, the systemic structuring of the WALK-RWD method, allows great and numerous benefits in all the orders of the human condition, and one of the most important is that, its integral practice, is a coadjuvant in the personal fulfillment.

For this purpose, I will allow myself a definition of what we will understand by “personal fulfillment”. Regardless of the field to which it may refer, what is essential is the value that is given to it associated with our own self-esteem. This concept of “self-fulfillment” is oriented to the satisfaction that an individual must, should or could feel and think about what he has accomplished or could accomplish during a period of his existence. In this regard, of course, you can feel something positive but also negative issues, however, it is usually oriented to what results as a balance of this sensitive and intimate evaluation.

We say to ourselves: “I feel satisfied with what I have achieved up to this stage of my life”, or perhaps: “at my 40 years of age, I am not reaching the goals I set for myself”, and so on; some of us do not have clearly defined objectives and therefore our evaluations are not very quantifiable; but for other people the opposite happens, they have their annual goals specified and make their periodic evaluations based on them, in a precise manner.

It is a rather complex field to analyze and to put into practice, since we also get confused with some of the ways that society shows us as acceptable, or “indispensable” for personal achievement. All of them must be left aside, and we can only remain with our own ideas and authentic feelings. I always carry with me an aphorism that contrasts a lot about what society induces us to feel that we have succeeded: “Fame is the prize that society gives to the sleeping; it punishes the awakened ones”.

The WALK-RWD system leads us towards the improvement of our personal fulfillment. Its mechanisms are diverse and most of them are channeled to make the individual who practices it feel good, starting with the daily satisfaction of having been able to give attention to his body, both physically and mentally.

From those moments that are put into practice, the person will become aware that all his actions will be carried out satisfactorily, since he has started the day making the right decision to start walking and has carried it out, and therefore, the following decisions he will make will be easier for him.

It will generate a sensitivity and a sense that it will be more comfortable to affirm than to deny, and this will lead to acceptance of yourself and others around you.

As the first hours of the day progress, as he -or she- goes about his daily activities, with the positive decision making and actions that go with them, the various dilemmas and fears will dissipate. Some “bad companions” such as nervousness, anxiety, pessimism, procrastination will flee from him -or her-, so that in the middle of the day, he/she will be ready to perform even the unpleasant tasks. Apathy and tedium will be puzzled because they will not explain to themselves what is happening. Here you will be beginning the 2nd part of the day -the illuminated part-, and it is when you will begin to acquire conscience that having taken the decision to practice the WALK-RWD system has allowed you to change the face of the 1st part of that day: the tiredness disappeared, the energy to develop activities has multiplied, you will have greater self-confidence, and you will be becoming more conscious that you feel better than the previous day, and it is possible that you have forgotten that once you felt so good.

At some point you will wish for the new day to dawn to perform the same dynamics and verify that you will be able to repeat that state of mind and vigor, or perhaps you will think that you had a beautiful dream. You will want to repeat the whole process identically to validate it.

In this second part of the day, you will surely dialogue more willingly with yourself, and this will be very invigorating and motivating.

Positive thoughts will begin to dance in a revelry and crowd into your inner self. You will become more aware of your self, and you will probably begin to laugh, without having a reason to do so. You will enter into a restful silence of satisfaction for what you has done during the day and how you has felt during the hours that have passed; you will ask yourself: Am I daydreaming?

Now, if this can be achieved in one day, let us conjecture what we would achieve if we could repeat it for 1 week, 1 month or 1 year.

The energy of realization is potentiated.

There will be people who are pessimistic or suffer from some discomfort that forces them not to believe in this type of simple dynamics. This system also works for them. Of course, we must consider that not every day can be so vigorous and positive, some will be good and others not so good, and that there will also be one or another unsatisfactory day; but we must take the first step walking and the path will open that first day, and others will follow that will lead us to walk the paths we have always wanted to walk, and all towards positive and authentic personal fulfillment.

To start the walk on that first day, where we will undertake a determined support to our personal fulfillment, we must first define what we want to do, what are the activities we will carry out and what are our goals in life. To be able to determine this, first of all it will be necessary to know ourselves, and generally, this is something difficult to achieve. Nevertheless, the WALK-RWD system allows us to approach this knowledge. There are several posts where I expose the procedures to achieve it:

DRAWING AND THRESHOLDISM, TO KNOW OUR INNER SELF.

WRITING TO ACCEPT BETTER OURSELVES, WHILE WALKING

DRAWING, TO KNOW BETTER OURSELVES

WHO DO I WANT TO BE? WHO AM I?

DIALOGUE WITH OURSELVES, AS WE READ AND WALK

Independently of the procedures indicated in these articles, we can proceed to write -while we walk- the answers to the following questions, in an honest and sincere way, with the style we wish, and that in some way will lead us to know ourselves better, of what we wish, like and dislike, and that also have the purpose of obtaining an experiential balance when answering them, by writing them down.

– How do I visualize myself during the next 5 or 8 years?

– What are the most outstanding events that I have lived and that I would like to live again?

– What job would I like to do?

– What is the worst job I have ever had?

– Where would I like to live? In the city, in the country?

– How happy have I been?

– What kind of house would I like to live in: cottage, house, apartment, etc.?

– What are the activities I would not like to do?

– What are the activities I would always like to do?

– Write or draw about any other event or activity that has been relevant in your life.

Each question can be developed by writing it down -while walking- and after you have answered all of them -in one, two or three pages- dedicate a couple of hours to read them again and analyze them -while walking-, in order to extract those experiential aspects and your own experience (Post THE CONCEPT OF EXPERIENCE AND WALKING) that allow you to have a better knowledge of your intimate self, so you can write in detail the objectives you want to achieve in life.

The achievement of this phase is indispensable to be able to define the objectives and to give meaning to our life, which should be in accordance with the search for our personal fulfillment. However, we must be aware that the objectives we seek in life are not strictly fixed, but vary a little as we move forward with our experience (Post THE CONCEPT OF EXPERIENCE AND WALKING).

Once these objectives have been described and expressed -and if we can also specify quantified goals-, we will be able to start defining commitments with ourselves, in the short, medium and long term, with the purpose of being able to determine some actions -of all kinds- that will lead us during a certain period of time towards the achievement of what we wish to achieve.

These actions are family, work, sports, recreational, educational, artistic, professional, which can be translated into daily activities that we will have to carry out to achieve our goals, as we have pointed out at the beginning of this post.

Let us keep in mind that when we are at the beginning of this phase, perhaps we will have already acquired the healthy habit of walking, if we use the system for the search of the knowledge of ourselves, of identification with our sense of life, of the objectives, and perhaps some procedure of the same system, to improve our health or some function of a certain type that we have relegated, such as creativity, reading, writing or meditation.

We will have to be with the greatest mental clarity, that the activities that we develop, from now on, will be congruent with what we really want to be and do, with our particular objectives, with our sense of life, because only in this way we will be on the way to achieve our authentic “personal fulfillment”.

Finally, I would like to repeat that we must always keep in mind that these types of objectives (feeling good about ourselves, personal fulfillment, meaning of life, etc.) can change over time, according to our experiences and above all, because we do not always know what we really want to do and what we like to do, but we must have the capacity to achieve it; so we can also change as we advance in life. In other words, we must be aware that the specificity of our “personal fulfillment” can be modified, but we already know how to regenerate and improve it.

For the time being, let us begin our first walk with the objective of searching for and finding our personal fulfillment.
