According to a recent study published by researchers at Stanford University, taking a short walk—even indoors—can significantly improve creative thinking. The researchers found that walking increased creative output by up to 60% compared to sitting.
The study suggests that the simple act of moving, rather than the environment itself, stimulates creative thinking. Even walking on a treadmill indoors had the same positive effect as walking outside.
So, next time you’re stuck on an idea, it might help to take a quick stroll—your brain will thank you!
