Walk Your Way To Genius
"All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking."-Friedrich Nietzsche.
Get outside and walk under the sun.
I read this book about the daily rituals–it's called Daily Rituals–of history's greatest artists, composers, writers, and thinkers.
One thing that was common in many routines as daily walking. Beethoven walked every day after his midday dinner, "which would occupy much of the afternoon."
Soren Kierkegaard, the Danish Philosopher, spent most of his day writing and walking. From the book, "The walks were where he had his best ideas, and sometimes he would be in such a hurry to get them down that, returning home, he would write standing up before his desk, still wearing his hat and gripping his walking stick or umbrella."
Since many of the greatest minds in history used walking as a part of their daily routines, so should you and I.
I walk every morning as a part of my morning routine while listening to Tony Robbin's "Personal Power" (highly recommended). Since I started this routine, my day only feels right if I skip it.
Walking is not only great for your brain but also fantastic for your health and is a great way to increase fat burning. Check out Mark Sisson's article on the benefits of walking.
