Among the many benefits of walking, there is also that of increasing creativity, reducing the stree to make room for new ideas
Some of our most constructive and creative thoughts come when we least expect them, or when we simply take our minds off the day's duties and commitments, even if only for a brief moment. Simply put one foot in front of the other e walking helps create ideas, the eliminate stress, anxiety and bad thoughts.
When we walk, we often find ourselves finding solutions for situations we didn't even know we had to solve. This activity offers space to think, so a good walk is effective, for example, when you need to make an important decision or find a creative solution to a challenge. Movement leaves thoughts a way to fade, which is why it is the best therapy there is.

Walking stimulates creativity, science says so
Uno study of Stanford University found that the creative output of research participants increased by 60% as they walked. It is almost as if i steps take away thoughts and promote a peaceful mood, of tranquility, clarity and compassion, eliminating frustration, anxiety and stress.
Some of the greatest thinkers were walkers
Walking is truly a cure-all, and some of the greatest thinkers were, at the same time, great walkers. An example? Charles Dickens stated that he walked about 30 miles a day while thinking about his work; Steve Jobs e Winston Churchill they were all fond of walking. The wonder of walking dates back to ancient Greece, when Aristotle he created the Peripatetic School. The famous philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, sums it up best, saying, "All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking."
Walking eliminates distractions
One of the biggest challenges ofbeing creative is actually getting into a creative mindset. According to one search, when we walk we feel better physically and we begin to see our thoughts more clearly. So, on your daily walk, silence the electronic devices, so that you get the best out of the walk. Once external distractions are eliminated, stress and anxiety begin to fade and our minds can relax, and this is where the magic begins: when thoughts and worries disappear, we automatically become more creative, positive and purposeful.
To access the brilliance within us, we need to spend time contemplating our ideas, to understand our emotions and motivations, and to align with our true self. Walking facilitates this process and, in turn, the results will show themselves both in work and in private life.
