Creative Flow #7. Active Step – Go for a walk
They say that in the days of poet William Wordsworth, he and his sister Dorothy, along with many of their literary companions, often walked anything between 12 and 20 miles a day — and on a regular basis.
It’s no surprise that they gained so much inspiration on their walks; their poetry is full of nature’s magic and interesting happenings experienced while out on foot.
Walk in the countryside, a park or through a bustling city. Take a familiar route or go somewhere new and unplanned. Vary your pace, take time to stop, explore and devour the changing scenery. Reflect on your surroundings, open up new ideas and get lost in the moment.
Even a short walk can help us tap into our creativity.
Exercise and a change of atmosphere are good for us, and our creativity.
