I have moments of clarity while I’m exercising that really are unlike any others. I love yoga of course, and have had many epiphanies on my mat over the years, leaving a studio breaking down in tears or walking on air. But my most crisply creative moments come particularly when I run. Despite the fact that I dislike running quite a lot, I do it for the cardiovascular benefits and because of these unique joyful moments. I’ll be trudging along in a slow jog and suddenly have the proverbial light bulb illuminate above me. I’ll find a new way to think about a problem, or a new way to explain a metaphor that might help a client, or an idea about how to collaborate with other professionals. Almost spontaneously these new and refreshing thoughts come to me, and I know there’s power in movement.
