Usually my rut gets less rutty after a mile. Sometimes just listening to music during does the trick, but ideating while walking (doing a fair share of internal discussion and thinking about what the thing could sound like / say) gets me back into “my voice.” And I keep my Notes app handy, so come that mile-point, if any of my talking to myself was fruitful, it gets documented.

I’ve taken a 45 min walk everyday for the past 2 months and it‘s fixed something. Don’t know what the science is. Don‘t really care. Bring a notebook with you. Listen to music or just your surroundings. My favorite thing has been catching 6 seconds of the funniest conversation, you’ll never know the rest of. Just noticing more things that you might overlook in a car, or a train, or on a bike. If you’re stressed, angry, sad, confused etc., a walk might not fix you but it will change something!

Paired with cold brew, these have been hitting so hard for me lately. I get my best ideas in the mornings, and this practice takes that up a notch big time! No music or pods, just your brain and the neighborhood/nature.
