Silence the thoughts in your head helps to get creative ideas, according to scientists. Running can be an ideal way to do that.
Why is silence necessary to get good ideas?
Creativity comes in two stages:first you collect data that you need to, for example, solve a problem and you think about it. The moment of insight usually comes when you take some distance and you are busy with something completely different; when listening to music, taking a shower or running.
Running is effective
According to sports psychologists, shifting your thoughts while running works extra well because you use your analytical left hemisphere less during movement and the right hemisphere (senses, intuition) appeals more.
Rest in your head
You don't have to do complicated antics with a ball while running, leaving room in your head for creative ideas. The trick is to focus on your run and what's going on around you, so you can get the most out of your thoughts.
