After years of habitually practicing and corroborating the custom of some of the Greek Peripatetic philosophers and sages of “walking reading”, and having edited the book that consigns this integrated personal experience as a method on how to increase and improve our creative performance in all areas whose process I share here; and because I became more aware of what the system represents and the benefits it provides, I have been able to confirm that the best ideas I have had during this period have been when I have been reading and / or writing when I walk; that is, in the process of walking. I am fully convinced that the human body produces one or more substances that seek and increase the generation of ideas, and not only of the habitual and simple, but of those that go out of the ordinary; in the moments when I’m walking and reading. It is a process that increases memory, understanding and allows the formation of great ideas, which break the balance and calm of the traveler-reader-writer, causing him to fall headlong into the “muse” that is incorporated into his normal activities of contemplation and creation.
HARMONIC DEVELOPMENT
In this BLOG we present the most important characteristics of the walk, but always in conjunction with reading, writing and drawing, in order to be able to develop them together.
Besides the combination of these activities can be developed simultaneously, the system is highly dynamic, versatile and flexible, which can be adapted to any need for any kind of individual, which translates in creative and therefore, unlike others, it is itself, for various reasons, very motivating and stimulating. One is the intrinsic process which has to assess yourself in progress and another is the alternation of achievements in its development. Unlike most traditional exercise programs, it feeds back and reinforced with quantifiable in any of the three areas seeks development in the individual objective results: physical, knowledge and art. It is highly motivating and recreates against discouragement, creating enthusiasm in the individual.
THE EXPERIENCE OF WALK
With this method I want to convey certain personal experiences that have allowed me to maintain an acceptable level of health, both physical and mental aspect, in addition to the advantages obtained in reading, writing and drawing.
