Cortical stimulation

Far too often I sit down to compose a blog entry and then. . .

Nothing.

Just nothing.  My mind cramps, then freezes, then just goes to sleep.  It always seems that my best ideas come at the worst time to try to actually write them down.  But today I think I may have solved that.  I went for a walk.  Yep, a walk.  With a pen and a notebook in my pocket.

It was amazing.  Suddenly I had extra blood feeding my brain cells.  Suddenly they could function.  They were happy cells, overjoyed at the fresh air, the sunlight, and just generally pleased to be free.  And the blog ideas flowed. 

Seriously, I ended up with about 5 or 6 new articles, ready to go, composed in my head, with only the need to sit my butt down and actually write them.  Yeah, yeah, that can be the hard part.  Maybe I will just go for another walk. . .

Yep!  Works for me too!  But I often get mine at night when going to bed.  And hope I remember them when I wake up!

If blogging is what it takes to get out for a walk, then blog away

Nah, I go for multiple walks a day.  I just realized today how much better my mind seemed to work in terms of coming up with new ideas while walking.
