This text explores the relationship between walking and creativity, citing examples of famous artists and thinkers who credited walking as an important part of their creative process. The author discusses the lack of scientific evidence for the connection between walking and creativity, but notes that research suggests exercise may improve mood and creative thinking independently of mood. A study found that walking significantly increased participants' creativity when compared to doing nothing, with more relaxed exercise potentially being better for improving creative thinking. However, focused thinking to find one correct answer was not improved by walking, and the type of walking could also affect the amount of a creativity boost experienced.
