The headphones piece is tough. I’m often listening to instrumental type genres. I find it helps me think.

So basically we are supposed to feel all our senses and let our mind drift through thoughts like day dreaming or so?

It’s like meditation where we are not focusing on something just walking with thoughts.

So true 🙌 When we let ourselves get bored, the brain switches into default mode—where creativity, clarity, and even life direction come alive. ✨🩷

Wow, someone else is explaining what I refer to as moving meditation.
All too often, people believe meditation is a stationary process when instead it is a removal of external distractions. For me, this happens when driving alone with no radio or when showering, especially in the morning.
Make personal time quiet time and use pen and paper to record and own your mind.

Well stated. I walk 35 to 45 miles weekly. In Seattle, the terrain is hilly. Walking uphill creates a great sense of burning exertion.
I also walk at a rapid rate. In less than 90 days, I’ll be turning 65 years old. No one can keep up with me.
I challenge anyone to try walking. During these sessions, I am able to solve lots of problems and find alternate perspectives.

This is the first time i hear about ‘default mode’ and I’m suspicious. I’ve heard of boredom being useful but not ‘default mode’

Typical baby boomer… Haven’t had time to feel bored in 15 years and need to reduce mind wandering 😂 Great advice though and I definitely need to walk more!
Research also shows polins etc in forests can trigger mechanisms in your body to improve mental & physical health, particularly immune response and depression.
