The man of the future may be HOMO-ITER, the walking man, the man who makes his way in the search for his sense of life, but will do it walking.

Let’s try to conceptualize and understand what HOMO-ITER is.

HOMO-ITER is the human being who travels, during most of his life, using his own bodily means, mainly his lower limbs or his legs and feet; however, he use, for his translation and movement, and to maintain balance and harmony, other parts of the body and the external senses.

It is worth noting that the homo iter uses the wheel as little as possible to move, or any type of carriage pulled by animals; his use of them is limited or very little.

This approach is very likely to allow us to see – in the near future – the voluntary and functional creation of individuals with 2 or more functions in the same: the walker-reader, the walker-writer or the walker-draftsman, and even more , the walker-reader-writer.

HOMO-ITER receives the same effects in his body but has different functional causes than primitive man. It is not a thoughtless return to the origins, but is done voluntarily and also instinctively in terms of various activities that HOMO-ERECTUS used to do in those early times. So it is a perfected, healthy and comprehensive return.

It is not completely returning to the past, for modern man does not walk to hunt, not to gather fruits, not to shepherd, not to cut roots; He walks to exercise all his muscles (almost 100% of them) and his bone structure. The results (physical and mental effects) you get from walking are exactly the same since archaic times: exercise, blood circulation, oxygenation of the whole body and brain, positive functional impact on all bodily and physiological organs and systems.

What are the peculiarities (physical and functional characteristics) of HOMO-ERECTUS and HOMO SAPIENS in relation to HOMO-ITER?

For this confrontation of clarification, we must take into account the proto-historical moment of when the “human being” began to walk, the homo erectus, on its 2 lower extremities (times that man has walked on earth); and perhaps that moment coincides with the erect, but that has not been verified, because it was possible to erect -if it is not that the human being, the “modern man” was always erect- and continue walking on “four legs” for many millennia. He could have stood and continue to move with his 4 limbs.

Let’s take a look at some hominids, “brothers”, or “cousins” of homo.

Man and anthropoids, those beings that have a human form, originally had a common family trunk.

Too many questions arise on the subject: How long ago did hominids start walking? Hominid is the current human being? What or what are the pre-hominid forms? What are hominids, apes, homo sapiens, homo erectus, etc.? and many more questions.

There were several hominids living with Homo Sapiens, over a large period of several million years, but only 2 could survive: this and the Neanderthal. Neanderthal man does not have all the characteristics of modern man and Cro-magnon man could have been a cross between the Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens –these 2 were contemporaries-, a possible hybridization, but it cannot be conclusively asserted.

The Pitecantropus Erectus is the oldest hominid that has been discovered, which has certain anthropoid features, and that its posture was erect, but it is distant from some characteristics of the human. We could speculate that with the appearance of this anthropoid the activity of walking in hominids begins, many millions of years ago, in the Pleistocene, qualified as an early morphological type of man. There is no doubt that this upright position was achieved long before his brain developed further.

We must comment that knowing clearly where and when the appearance of homo sapiens begins, -of modern man: man with the physique equal to the current one-, is very difficult and his study has been very rough; However, we can consider that homo sapiens originates and begins when that being reaches an upright position and begins to walk on its 2 lower extremities.

There is no doubt that the human being as such belongs to a branch of primates that differentiated itself several million years ago – in the Miocene geological period of the Tertiary era, 26 million years ago – from monkeys and anthropoids. Its main features are the size of the prefrontal brain area and its upright position that made it walk on its lower extremities (upright position and that it moves walking on its 2 feet erectly), in addition to its upper limbs, its finger Thumb is opposite to the rest of your fingers.

There is a theory that the Australopithecus of South Africa is the one that preceded the modern man – who has the same physique as the current one – since he reached an upright position, he walked on his two feet, although his size did not exceed 5 feet (1.50 meters) of height. Darwin expressed about our parent ancestral ancestors: “they probably met in Africa.” However, there are also opinions that “this could not be the direct predecessor of man.” Thus, homo sapiens may have been a type of hominid that developed most safely in Africa.

All those “generatrix” lines that have been mentioned over decades of scientific research to unveil the origin and formation of the “current man” have not been blunt from the strictly evolutionary point of view, in order to conclude that any of these hominid specimens is one of the first types that directly preceded homo sapiens. As we mentioned, detecting these first men has been very rough and complicated.

It is necessary to differentiate between direct parent and primitive antecedent; the latter has 2 of the 3 important characteristics of the then homo sapiens, although he has not developed the brain, but it should be understood that this marks the dating of the upright position, which made him walk on his lower extremities, of some contemporary hominid types, including homo sapiens.

All of them, absolutely, all of them at some time walked on their lower extremities, just like the human being, as we know him in the present. But, remember, only 2 could survive.

The time that the erect hominid has walked on the face of the earth compared to the time that modern man has been using animals to transport us and carts pulled by quadrupeds, is very, very large. In order to appreciate the magnitude of this period, we could make the simile that this duration that we have walked corresponds to 20 centimeters and the period in which we have relied on other forms of loading and transportation corresponds to 1 millimeter. If we compare the number of days of a life of 80 years, the analogy would be telling us that the time we would spend walking would be 29,054 days, while we would not walk 146 days. To clearly assimilate this disproportion, let’s reverse the periods and observe that not walking during the 29,054 days would lead to a serious health problem, crippling our body.

All our existence as a species we have spent walking, let’s not stop doing it. Our organisms are completely accustomed to walking, modifying this custom will lead us to alter the health and behavior and the proper functioning of our bodies.

What prompted us to walk? How was that process generated? We must question whether all these beings were holobionts that had a direct relationship – or not – with their decision to walk on their 2 lower extremities. That is, did your vital need to stand up, if any, and walk developed in the same vital environment? Or, on the contrary, was it sought by some stimulus external to its vital circle (brutal climatic changes), and put it to walk on its two lower extremities? (Future Post CHRONICLE OF A DISAPPEARANCE ANNOUNCED IN THE PLEISTOCENE).

Possibility that opens up the speculation that some of the specimens that have been found might be in the need to stand up to be able to move quickly and dynamically to respond more effectively and successfully to the demands of their external environment, and this placed it in their 2 feet and a definite advantage over other hominids. Perhaps this generated other advances in its development of other organs and especially in the growth and improvement of the brain. Specimen that became the current modern homo sapiens.

It may not be an exaggeration to say that walking upright on 2 legs gave these beings greater capacity and brain faculty because they freed their 2 upper extremities with extraordinary skill and ability to do, and this generated their thinking and reasoning, increasing their faculties, intellectual and creative, which in turn caused a greater number of images and ideas, generating and perfecting speech and this an improvement in thinking to conform to being HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS.

The scientific demonstration of this evolutionary process corresponds to the coming generations, especially in the first 2 blocks, because in the following blocks no one doubts that they were raised. Presenting our evolutionary thesis is enough to take certain actions that will not have any negative impact on the benefits that the WALK-RWD system generates in our organism, both physical and mental and spiritual.

However, I do have to be more emphatic about those first 2 blocks of development: If that primitive being was driven – millions of years ago – in its development and capacities, physical and mental – to move only on its 2 lower extremities, walking erect, and releasing its other 2 upper extremities, it is very likely that our systemic theory of read-write-draw while WALKING can again have an impact on the human being of the future that projects it in a better way towards the less uncertain and healthier future in all orders.

Only by putting the WALK-RWD system into practice it can give us an answer to our thesis.

Now, what happens at the moment? What actions should we take? Undoubtedly, incorporating the walk as an essential part of life, in our surrounding and surrounding daily life, we will observe certain changes (variations, transformations, innovations, metamorphosis, evolutions, renovations) in some aspects of it, physically, mentally , emotionally, economically, socially, in the family, in the workplace, in short, in some way that will make us behave differently and observe our existence with another vital perspective.

How could we demonstrate, from the cultural, health and ecological points of view, that the return to walk is an evolution, AN EVOLUTIONARY RETURN. (or A RETURN TO EVOLVE). Of course it is difficult to show that transporting ourselves on foot is a cultural expression of improvement, of progress, because walking is more tired, it is more time consuming, it is more difficult, it is uncomfortable, we cannot carry many or varied things, or large volumes, and so on. However, it is undoubted (irrefutable) – it has already been shown – that some of the diseases that are affecting us at the present time are due to the fact that we have replaced moving on foot by “the wheel” and “the wings” . The car – in all its forms and categories – as a means of transport has avoided walking the human being. The Mayans were an example of “not using the wheel” (Post THE ANCIENT MAYAS AND THEIR WHITE ROADS, and future Post THE WALKING IN THE ANCIENT MAYAN PART II).

MAJOR PREMISE: Primitive man had to move upright, walking erect, and he generated a great evolution and mental capacity.

MINOR PREMISE: Modern man has stopped walking with negative repercussions on his health and his humanitarian attitude.

CONCLUSION: The current man will have to modify his sedentary lifestyle, increasing his walk, in order to achieve a new (r)evolution, in body, mind and spirit, to avoid his self-destruction.

This first part of MAGIC HIKING refers to enjoying extraordinary walks through the Mayan region, located in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. In the future we will present other areas that we consider true wonders in other parts of the world.

Getting ready to visit important parts of the Mayan culture region, through its white roads, crossing its jungles and archaeological zones, is a true magical adventure. A cultural experience that will never be forgotten.

There was a fabulous number of white roads that were built and used by this great culture, as we have mentioned in post THE ANCIENT MAYANS AND THEIR WHITE ROADS-PART I: “These roads were built with sascab or saskab (in Mayan Sahkab: white earth), which is a material that abounds throughout the Yucatan Peninsula, coming from limestone rocks, a kind of road with a width that varied from 13 to 33 feet (4 to 10 meters), same that started and ended in Monumental Arches. It represents part of the architectural urban conjugation that was carried out when locating those majestic arches at the entrance of each of these ceremonial centers, which were connected to these white roads, and which had a spiritual symbolic meaning. All this that the Mayan culture carried out was extremely great and something that we must bear in mind is that those GREAT WHITE ROADS always united MONUMENTAL ARCHES and that they fundamentally symbolically signified the routes that the ancient Mayans carried out in those lands of the New World ”.

Walking along these roads in the middle of the jungle and the archaeological ruins is a wonderful experience in which you do not have to tolerate those hardships suffered by the first explorers who inspected and saw these paradisiacal places, traveling those same routes, millennially journeyed by its original builders; a whole Mayan architecture that stands imposing before the new walkers and travelers who come to contemplate and enjoy them.

As Edel C. Piñera once commented: “To open up to the unique experience of the walker in the lands of the Mayab is to rejuvenate. It is to open the gaze and the soul to let ourselves be carried by our children’s hearts and to be touched again by surprise and amazement. It is letting yourself be invaded by the magic of the place and what it offers us in abundance: mystery, art, inspiration and knowledge. All in one”.

CULTURE OF THE FOUR SEAS

The Mayan nation is the only culture in the ancient world that, when it settled in its territory, was able to look out over four seas. We now call them the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and all four are perfectly distinguishable from each other as they belong to different oceanographic formations. These formations include underwater topography, ocean circulation, water temperature, current patterns (with the Gulf Stream and the Atlantic Current). A difference between deep and shallower trenches, all with a wide expanse of abyssal plains. The Caribbean Sea, for example, has a smoother underwater topography compared to the other 3 seas. These characteristics influence and play an important role in the climate of the entire Mayan region. The 4 seas interact with the region and influence the temperature and weather patterns associated with each of the 4 seas. There is also a difference in marine biodiversity and ecosystems vary between the 4 seas.

The Maya settled in this region of southeastern Mexico to communicate with and through them, which is why we have designated it as the Culture of the Four Seas.

This nation developed significantly in all aspects, and from my personal point of view, the location of the lands that the ancient Maya chose were decisive for their cultural development.

In the following image we can appreciate, in a very general way, the natural vegetation of most of the Mayan region, in order to know the distribution of its different types, in an area of 135,000 square miles.

Today, like Stephens and Catherwood many years ago, and a dozen other explorers who came to these lands, we too can marvel at the ruins and the exorbitant nature of these places that are no longer hidden from our eyes, to be witnesses of that ancient culture.

We can let our spirits wander along these white roads as we walk through these Mayan sanctuaries, with the full security that, as Piñera said, to open up to these experiences is to rejuvenate, body and soul.

What routes can we choose to achieve these magical experiences? We can use any of the publications that exist for it, or consult my book “THE MAYAN ARCH ROUTE” (2010), which shows and explains 10 different routes that we can access to have the experience of meeting the MONUMENTAL ARCHES. “The lengths of these 10 white road journeys (sacbe’ob plural Mayan of sacbé) vary and in its development that we present, we found several towns, which in their time wore splendid Mayan arches, always retaining their original style, with different shapes and sizes. These road networks are truly ‘Wonders of the World’ ”. Let us keep in mind that these roads were built analogously to the journeys that the stars made in the sky (Archaeoastronomy).

This whole world, of the ancient Mayans, is full of mysticism, ecstasy, greenery and traces of an ancient art that has not died and that will continue to seduce us. Each walk we take will be a living encounter with the history of this ancient town, with its architecture, its astronomy, its mathematics, and above all, with its still alive and dynamic plastic genres that take us back in space and time. .

I invite all lovers of walking (and the Mayan world) to carry out this recreational leisure and exercise experience, which can also be mixed with experiences of exploration of archaeological ruins, which combines all our curiosity and wonder, for all the unparalleled beauty that surrounds us in this area of the Mayan world. Let us witness these images of the first explorers again and engrave them in our minds and soul.

Let us be, therefore, testimonies of that extraordinary people who possessed the knowledge, skills and creative spirit, to overturn them in their architecture that currently offers us an unparalleled show, clothed by time and sheltered by exorbitant nature.

On this occasion I wanted to share some of my thoughts (aphorisms) in which I used the word WALK (or path, road, way), either as part of my daily practice that I did for most of my life and as a metaphor, a great assistant in the linguistics of all genres and symbolic languages.

Traducido al Español

Several years ago I edited a small book where I exposed all those aphorisms that over time have assaulted my mind, while I wrote the various essays and novels, but also as an effect of some of my plastic works; its title “Aphorismic tones. According to the forgetting of my silences”. Usually, they were all reminiscent or resonance of what I was writing, but also during my work as a painter; however, they have also been the result of the reverse process. The publication resulted from 200 aphorisms with their respective 200 plastic works. I can guarantee that a considerable percentage of them came to mind as I walked.

Now that I had this idea to see how many of them had the “WALK” root and also the noun “ROAD” surprised me a little, although since I started the Blog I began to realize that this word of WALK we use it regularly to express a great diversity of ideas or thoughts, so the complete writers use this word to express themselves, in all literary genres.

• The peak of greatness is achieved through WALKING the chasm of humility.

• The PATH should not necessarily be defined by the one ahead.

• Humanity has always tried to WALK through the sunny part of the ROAD; from time to time you should step away and test the shaded areas and especially the dark parts.

• The harder a ROAD is, the more important the goal is.

• I remember my parents very well, especially my mother, loving me, teaching me to WALK down the hall, but never whipping me to climb the walls.

• You may have to sacrifice both the conscious and the unconscious, and be reborn on a ROAD to nothing.

• WALKING invites me to read, reading encourages me to think, and my thinking when WALKING generates and extracts the deepest ideas of my being.

The following are some of 14 recommendations for just living:

• You can listen to your conscience, but your unconscious has more to tell you and it is who will lead you along the right WAY. (This is the 1st recommendation).

• Every day WALK for long periods and feed yourself healthily: air, water, sun, bath, and natural fruits; these are the fundamental ingredients. (This is the 14th and last recommendation).

• To achieve the peak of awakening and enlightenment (liberation) you have to WALK the chasm of humility. (It is similar to the firsth)

• No one should be afraid of death if they have lived genuinely and vitally in the light of their own spirit, under the guidance of the strength of particular reason, by feeling of personal emotions and under the PATH of knowledge indicated by instincts and individual unconscious

• My spirit goes astray because of the feeling (and emotion) affected, thus, the truth in disagreement with the lie, and good and evil are taken by the hand, while Mr. Time observes WALKING to virtues and entelechies with their names deceived and disappointed of utopia and chimera.

• My only friend: nature; my best partner: time; my engine: libido; my WAY: doing; my respects: to the sun; my love: Carmen.

• The human being has always been able and always will be able to WALK through any of the 2 sidewalks of the street: the illuminated one or the cover of shadows.

• My books, my computer and my easel are indoors, but my artistic creation is done outdoors, WALKING.

• The human body withers when it does not search and does not find the way or path to WALK, in the same way it happens to waters that have no exit and do not move, they become a swamp.

SEXUALITY AND THE WALK RWD SYSTEM

The Neurovegetative System (Sympathetic, Parasympathetic and Enteric) provides efficiency to the involuntary functions of the human body, such as sexual arousal and activity, breathing, digestion, sweating, heart rate, and others, in addition that it controls and coordinates. All of them are performed without the voluntary and conscious intervention of the human being, but are executed and regulated through this peripheral nervous system. Sexual function is closely related to this Neurovegetative System and fundamentally sexual arousal is regulated by it.

Traducido al Español

We have already commented that the WALK-RWD system is a very effective procedure to activate the brain and neurovegetative system functions. The human being, while on the move, when walking, the brain works by sending signals to the whole body to create energy (strength) and keep alert specifically through the sympathetic system (alarm preparation); signals received by the rest of the systems, organs and glands of the body, which in turn produce – as a response – biochemical substances.

When you read – or write or draw – while walking, the effects that occur are greater, because in a continuous way, the parts that affect the sense of sight constantly try to keep focused and accurate the view on what is read (written or drawn) and that is why they also send messages to the brain, which in turn helps keep your eyes fixed.

This process, stimulated by the activity of reading and walking, produces stronger impulses towards the brain system, which seeks balance – permanently – by working in other areas of the same brain, which generally, without these activities, would remain inactive , almost asleep (Future Post THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM ENCOURAGES CREATIVE THINKING. PART I)

Now, those electrical impulses that the neurovegetative system receives manage to place it in an operative harmony, in such a way that their signals directed to the different organs and glands of the body are more efficient, so that their respective functioning is better performed and at the same time they produce their corresponding biochemical substances optimally. (See writings: HARMONY OF THE BODY WITH THE MIND; ADDITIONAL BENEFITS IN THE CONDITIONING OF THE BODY AND THE MIND. Future writing LISTENING TO OUR BODY WHILE WALKING).

Thanks to the excellent and optimal function of the sexual system, the human race has been able to survive and perpetuate itself on the planet. The sexual organs are the representatives of our permanence and the best image of our existential behavior and the delightful expression of life. All sexual activities must be practiced as part of a spiritual function. The balanced functioning of sexuality is a harmony that must be achieved in a similar way to that defined in the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang (Future Posts ENJOYING OUR PERCUSSIVE MUSICAL WALKING; and RHYTHM, COMPASS AND CADENCE IN OUR WALKING), which are two vital impulses that are matched in life, and subject to the individual, male and female, in balance -harmonious and dynamic- with their counterpart complementary.

Because of this, it is essential to carefully attend to the sexual functionality of our body, keep it in a perfect state of health, both physical and emotional. The practice of sexual activities must take into account the seasons of the year, as we will point out in the respective post (Future writing IMPACT OF THE SEASONS OF THE YEAR ON THE WALKING), that is, we must take into account the heat, the cold, humidity and a dozen more factors that we have already discussed in previous writings. The WALK-RWD system allows us to achieve this, since it contributes and is decisive for its preventive and corrective factor in this sphere of sexuality.

Let’s discuss some outstanding aspects about the sexual organs, their respective functions, as well as the disorders and diseases that can afflict us.

When sexual arousal is achieved, the woman generates:

1. Moistening of the vagina immediately, when sexual arousal begins.

2. The vagina dilates just like the vulva.

3. The clitoris, vulvar lips and breasts increase in size.

In man it is generated:

1. Penis erection, immediately when sexual arousal begins.

2. Enlargement and hardening of the penis is generated by the blood flowing through the limb filling it through its constituent tissues.

3. The testicles increase in size.

4. Pre-seminal lubrication drops appear at the tip of the penis.

Despite these natural manifestations that are generated through sexual arousal, the human being is also prone to have certain disorders that avoid these normal responses. In a certain percentage disorders arise, both in men and women, in which these habitual behaviors are interrupted at the time that sexual arousal is achieved; the most important in women is one that prevents lubrication of the vagina; and in the man who prevents the erection of the penis. The types of emotional disorders are varied as the cause of these two abnormalities. Men and women are more susceptible to these disorders over the years, however, at any age they can arise.

It should be borne in mind that time varies, in which the excitement takes place – between the man and the woman – and does not necessarily correspond, sometimes, to a physical disorder or emotional problem.

The most common and frequent disorders are:

• Impotence

• Inability to lubricate the vagina

• Inability to achieve sexual arousal

• Sterility

• Frigidity

• Insensitivity

• Sexual disability

• Denial and rejection of some genital part

Although on the other hand, there are also two dozen diseases that attack the organs and genital areas, for which it is required to go to a specialist doctor for specific diagnosis and treatment (venereal diseases, vaginitis, prostate problems, bladder, vagina, cystitis, penis, herpes, gonococci, etc.), which therefore fall outside our scope of treatment, outside our method of application and care.

Regarding the aforementioned disorders, walking and fully implementing the WALK-RWD system is a preventive mechanism since the exercise of the walk is precisely an effective way of being in good physical and mental conditions, in addition to that -as we have explained in previous posts-, it can be corrective, because it helps us to eradicate bad habits (alcohol, smoking, obesity, etc.) and emotional discomforts (depressions, anxieties, etc.), which to a large extent could be the direct causes of these disorders , as well as indirect diseases such as obesity, phobias, addictions, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, and some personality disorders. (See writings: THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM AND THE HABITS; NEGATIVE HABITS AND HOW TO COMBAT THEM-GENERAL CASES; COMBATING SEVERAL HABITS ENEMIES WITH WALK-RWD SYSTEM-OBESITY).

We can start the practice and enjoyment of the WALK-RWD system with the assurance that it will be very favorable for our sexual feelings and performance.

It is very opportune, I think, to reflect and advise, at this stage of the blog, not invariably postpone the activity of walking, coupled with reading, writing and drawing, for aspects such as lack of time, commitments, other activities most important, etc. (Post THE WALK AND THE LACK OF TIME).

Traducido al Español

Let’s analyze the concept of procrastinating, very briefly.

For this we must start that we are not lazy or irresponsible. Etymologically procrastination means postponing for the next day.

If every time we have to carry out an activity, we postpone it and exchange it with pleasure for another, making us feel bad about not doing it at the moment we are aware of it, we are procrastinating.

Why do we feel bad? Because surely the activity we procrastinate – we postpone – we know, think and feel that we should do it before we exchange. We recriminate ourselves because we postpone and avoid doing that activity at a time that we feel we should do before any other action.

Permanently, the whole human being – at a certain age – knows that it is convenient for him to act by prioritizing his preferences for the attention he must pay in the performance of certain activities over others. This precedence (praelatio action to put before) in human activities is a custom that is acquiring -in some more people, in others less and in others it is not acquired- as we develop in life. It is the preference we give -mental action and discernment- to certain actions to carry them out, some before others.

If this action of precedence is an irrefutable fact in human behavior, then why do we procrastinate? It has been answered in different ways, both “in favor” and “against”: “Because procrastination is irrational”; “Because it is not bad”; “Because it is a way for everyone to manage their time”; “Because it’s something we do against ourselves, but that’s not the case”; “Procrastinating is not a disease”; “Procrastination is a chronic disease”; “The task is not evaded, only postponed”; “They are passenger moods”; “They are negative emotional states that restrict positive attitudes”; “Procrastination is the sum of moods of insecurity, laziness, disability, frustration and boredom”; “Procrastination is a state of depression and anxiety”; “Procrastinating is synonymous with aversion to performing a task”; “Procrastination is the result of stress.”

All these answers have some truth and together answer the question, although some seem contradictory. Is procrastination voluntary or involuntary? It is voluntary, because we decided not to carry out that activity that we consider more important than others.

This question I would like to face with an “ism” that I have been working on, building and analyzing it in recent years, and that I have called Acronism; this unveiling system allows us to become aware of the process of creation about an artistic work, in such a way that it prevents us from losing creative moments that unconsciously gravitate above all artistic creators. It helps us to investigate those acts and movements that affect ex-ante the representation activities of an artist to carry out his creative work. This places us inexorably in a “state of creative alertness” trying not to lose any moment of creation, that is, not to access for any reason to procrastinate in any way.

In addition to the above, we also have a clarity that the result, in general, after circumventing the procrastination, results of having feelings of guilt in us. That is, this procrastination phenomenon is a vicious circle very similar to those I mentioned in previous writings (THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM AND THE HABITS, and NEGATIVE HABITS AND HOW TO COMBAT THEM-GENERAL CASES) and what drives and provokes higher rates of procrastinating in person.

The following diagram illustrates this POSTERGATION-SATISFACTION-HABIT circle:

In these cases of procrastination we can show (patent and confirm) the problem that is presented to people who want to escape or flee from the reality that suffocates them.

Is it possible that unconsciously we try to avoid thinking about the future and go back to the here and now (in the present)? Or vice versa?

In the first place I would like to mention that procrastination is a phenomenon of attitude towards life, which we must clarify if they are strictly related to activities that we postpone to represent medium or long-term efforts, and therefore we choose those that are of immediate realization, even if they exist cases that patent it. We must also consider, that sometimes the individual who procrastinates considers -he really feels in his intimate jurisdiction- that those activities that he postpones do not correspond to them, because they must be carried out by another person and not him, because he supposes are the responsibility of others. Its realization is so unpleasant that it uses very personal mechanisms -perhaps they are part of a state of neurosis- that allow it to refocus its attitudes and actions by subtracting from that responsibility.

Procrastination provokes in the subject two sensations: a situation of displeasure for not having done it and it is for the same animosity towards the activity that must be carried out; and the other, a perception of satisfaction by allowing oneself to be relieved of the commitment, freeing it from its fulfillment. A double effect: a positive one: liberation; the other negative: frustration. This frustration felt by the procrastinator is never enough to carry out the postponed activity; and liberation reinforces procrastination. An endless circle, as we mentioned before.

Now, it seems that the problem is in managing our emotions better (Post “EMOTIONS AND THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM“).

Procrastination is not a decision-making problem, it is not a matter of time management, it is not extreme apathy, it is not laziness, it is not cowardice, it is not a disability, it is not a lack of interest; It is all this as an effect of an emotional state, but it is also a problem of bad habits. Therefore, we must focus, on the one hand, to know the power of emotions, and thus be able to free ourselves from the negatives; and on the other, to break bad habits (Post NEGATIVE HABITS AND HOW TO COMBAT THEM-GENERAL CASES). Let us start from the fact that the individual who procrastinates must lead to a better management of his bad habits and negative emotions. We have presented the procedure to combat bad habits in a general way in the writing NEGATIVE HABITS AND HOW TO COMBAT THEM-GENERAL CASES and in particular, to combat obesity, in writing COMBATING SOME ENEMIES WITH THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM – THE OBESITY.

Perhaps the major problem that arises in the phenomenon of Procrastination is to identify the emotional cause for which one has the attitude of postponing all activities, all the time, as much as possible. But once this causality has been identified, the application of the procedure we have indicated is more comfortable and effective.

In the next 2 post on procrastination, we will present – in a general way – how to identify the specific causes for the different cases (Future Post FIGHTING NEGATIVE EMOTIONS WITH THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM, SOLUTION TO PROCRASTINATION); and in another one, the application of the procedure for the break with procrastination, as a treatment towards bad habits (Future Post COMBATING BAD HABITS WITH THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM: SOLUTION TO PROCRASTINATION ).

For now, let’s try to walk and choose any of the 3 options that are indicated in the previous image, in the intelligence that any of them will set us in motion towards an activity, trying at all times certain satisfactions and will be acceptable to our attitude towards life.
