Sally and two daughters – Hannah & Dulcie – decided to challenge themselves to walk 10 miles for charity – Breast Cancer Awareness. They did it in 3 hours (not a bad time), and felt positive in mind and body. They also beat their target of £2,000.
Now we all know walking is good for us but a recent Stanford study claims that that the simple act of walking – no matter where – offers a tangible boost to creative thinking.
A walking person was far more likely to meet challenges with creative responses than a rival who was sitting said the study.
If you prefer to do your walking on a treadmill, that’s fine – you’ll still get the same benefit.
However, it does seem a shame to miss this wonderful summer by not being outdoors.
