You nailed it, Barbara. I can’t tell you how often I keep finding that my most creative insights or urgings forward have come while doing my slow but steady walking/running laps. It’s almost a guaranteed stuck-buster and mood-enhancer. I have been thinking of a list of “to do in an emergency” and movement, preferably in fresh air, is probably #1.

Thanks for this!

Getting moving definitely helps me unblock and be more creative. I haven’t established a daily practice, but it’s something worth considering.
