Living in a world where intention is gradually getting overridden by speed, where productivity is placed above well-being, and where distractions are becoming a given, the philosophy of Aquidimatismo is amassing to finally change the situation. In a nutshell, the idea comes down to the invitation to be called upon to Rethink the Flow, to take a break, reorient, and establish a more fluid symmetry between what we feel about us and what is around us. Aquidimatismo is not a fad, it is a conscious movement (regarding) to mindful living, directed energy and sustainable success.
What is Aquidimatismo?
Being based on the combination of the words, namely, aqui (which means here in Portuguese or Spanish), dima (that reminds dimension or balance), and -tismo (suffix that suggests philosophy or system), it is possible to interpret Aquidimatismo as a skill of being in full in the present dimension of life and preserving flow and equilibrium. It is a very purposeful reaction to the madness of modernity, a smooth-skinned, yet revolutionary transition between aimless bustle and thoughtful pace.
Instead of speeding up or following their strict schedules, Aquidimatismo encourages people to align their personal cycles of energy, natural signals of their environment, and emotional transparency. It is all about activity with mindfulness and being in the state of flowing before it exists around you.
Rethinking the Flow: The Three Principles
1. Being There Fore Pressing
The presence is stronger in Aquidimatismo than being productive. It teaches the benefit of focused attention whether during a conversation, a piece of creative work or simply a time of rest. Unlike those who fall under pressure to never stop working or to deliver the results, practitioners of Aquidimatismo are more concerned with being the conduits of what they do.
2. Love was fluidity and not force.
Instead of trying to force things into happening, it is Aquidimatismo which promotes timely and alignment trust. Kind of like how water avoids hitting obstacles, this kind of philosophy encourages versatility and strength. When something seems to have an energetic block or is mentally exhausting, then it may be a sign to refocus instead of trying harder.
3. Chill Out Rather than Burn Out
Aquidimatismo is an ardent supporter of moderate lifestyle. It does not honor burnout or over commitment. Rather, it will encourage periods of work and rest- acknowledging that the only way to be innovative, see clearly, and have balance about one is to rest, process, and be still.
Practice of Aquidimatismo
It is quite possible to perform this philosophy in everyday life making small deliberate choices:
- Morning practice that promotes slowing down rather than hurrying (e.g., breathwork, journaling, or a silent tea practice).
- Digital mindfulness, e.g. time limitation of the screen and viewing devices only at the specified periods.
- Flow-based scheduling which involves the clustering activities together according to the tendencies of energy ups and downs during the day.
- Creative restoration such as doing some music, art or going out to nature to awaken creativity instead of the numerous scrolling of ideas.
- Reflective pauses, when you pause in between, during transition, be it in meetings, between meals, or in between projects.
These practices make the normal practices of life sources of the intentional flow and balanced life as practiced by Aquidimatismo.
Cultural Effect of Aquidimatismo
Although strictly individualistic in its origin, Aquidimatismo has started to inform holistic debates regarding wellness, education, leadership and design. Organic architectural designs and flexible work schedules are being embraced by workspaces; learning institutions are looking into mindfulness-based systems of learning; and artists are adopting the concept of slow creation to ensure that meaning takes precedence over the need to produce in large quantities.
Aquidimatismo will serve as a guiding light in a post-pandemic society, where so many of us are reconsidering the role of time, work and health in our lives. What we want efficiency to mean but also what it means to have achieved something.
