The Walking Mind
Steve Jobs would hit a wall. A product decision, a design choice, something that wouldn't resolve through more thinking.
So, he walked.
Ten minutes through Apple's campus, no phone, no agenda. Just movement and space.
The answer would surface not through force, but through release.
We see this pattern everywhere. Writers solve plot holes during afternoon strolls. Programmers debug in their mind while walking to coffee. Artists find their flow in movement.
When we stop damming its flow, the mind finds its natural course.
Ten minutes of walking rewires neural pathways better than ten hours of forced focus.
Nature knows this – movement creates possibility.
Solutions emerge from creating space for them to arrive, not from holding on tightly.
