Where do you do your best thinking?
Whether
- enjoying nature and the outdoors through gardening, conquering a summit, or keeping to a regular physical fitness program
- immersing yourself in the joys of the palate as a foodie who loves cooking or baking
- a visual person who explores stories through photography, painting, or even knitting
there are some activities that just get your juices going. Reading fiction has been a good source of inspiration for me, for example, both for thinking and for writing. Running helps kick my ideas up a notch and start visualizing how to make them happen.
The precision and creativity that go with baking make it a form of meditation that brings all senses alive for me -- don't you love the scent of chocolate, vanilla, or apple pie?
