Walking Is My Therapy

Everyone has that one thing they do when they need to relax whether it is taking a bath or drinking a hot cup of tea. 

I turn to walking. 

A quick walk to the store, through the park or a hike, clears my head and gives me the chance to just breathe. Then the thinking can begin. I work on problems with fresh insight, going over in my mind what I can do and the possible outcomes. Sometimes I just walk to relax. 

We all get stumped by a problem - for me it is writer's block. I don't know how to write the next scene, where I want to story to go (even though I have worked on an outline) or I am simply uninspired and am struggling to write even one word. 

Getting away from my desk does wonders for my sanity. Dragging a friend along makes things even better. Unfortunately, pressure and stress can only push us so far.

We all need a break. 
We all need a breath of fresh air.
