I’ve talked about this before, but it’s one of my favorite topics.
I’ve spent considerable time during the past two days trying to write good copy for some upcoming workshops — with little to show for it. Today, I woke up well-rested (come back for tomorrow’s post for more about why that’s relevant), the sun was out, and I felt like MOVING. So, grabbed the leash and the puppy and I went out for a walk.
It was a quiet Saturday in north Seattle, the sun was out, the birds were chirping — I kinda had the neighborhood to myself, and was just enjoying watching my girl sniffing everything in sight, and being outside and soaking up some Vitamin D — not really thinking about much of anything. Suddenly, one flash of inspiration. A minute or two later, another. And, then a third (this last one was something I’d been pondering for WEEKS).
If you are one of those people that needs to stand at a whiteboard and draw when it comes time to expound on ideas, it’s the same thing. Movement facilitates learning and creativity.
So, the next time you have a problem to solve, go for a walk!
