Regular thinking walks can have a significant positive impact on your brain, thinking, creativity and memory. Research shows that walking, especially in the morning, not only increases your energy level, but also improves your creativity and problem-solving ability. An experiment conducted by Oppezzo at Stanford University showed that students who walked before taking a creativity test scored 60 percent higher on creativity scores than those who sat. This suggests that physical activity such as walking stimulates the brain and promotes new ideas and solutions.
In addition, walking in nature offers additional benefits. The Attention Restoration Theory suggests that natural environments can restore your attention and refresh your mind, contributing to improved memory and concentration. The lower temperatures and fresh air in the morning can also have a invigorating effect, promoting your mental clarity and discipline throughout the day. While walking in the city also offers benefits, the peace and beauty of nature can add an extra dimension of relaxation and inspiration. It is important to experiment with different environments and activities, such as listening to music or podcasts, to discover what works best for your personal productivity and well-being.
