Idea Walks

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

No matter what sort of life you lead or what sort of job you have, there is a good chance you sometimes find yourself "stuck" on an idea or issue - regardless of whether it is something that has to do with work, your family, your personal life, or any number of other things. And while different people all have different approaches that tend to help them get "unstuck" at such times, one thing that seems to work for people across the board is spending a bit of time alone and taking a walk in order to "get over the hump" - and if you have ever found that such "Idea Walks" work well for you (or if you would like to find out whether an Idea Walk would work well for you), here are a few great approaches to try.

Morning Idea Walk: If you are taking an Idea Walk in the morning, the best way to do it is to get outside around the same time the sun is coming up; try to make sure your walk leads you to a place where you can see the sun coming up over a scenic setting.

Afternoon Idea Walk: Because there is so much "hustle and bustle" in the world in the middle of the afternoon, it can be more difficult to find a quiet place for an afternoon Idea Walk; your aims for an afternoon Idea Walk should be to find a place that is shaded, quiet, and cool.

Evening Idea Walk: The evening is the best time to take an Idea Walk in an area that has other people around, as most of the people around will be unwinding from their day; find a subdued park or a neighborhood that is relatively quiet, and enjoy some pleasant walking and thinking.

Each person tends to find that there are a few unique specifics that help them to get "unstuck," but the Idea Walk ends up being one of the best approaches for most people - and you certainly cannot go wrong with trying it!
