Going for a walk does it for me! Strictly no headphones, just a stubby pencil and scrunched up paper in my pocket…

I read something somewhere once, (wonderfully scientific from me there!) that humans need to see or be near/around water. It genuinely boosts all of the happy chemicals in our brains! Maybe there is a fundamental connection between humans and water. Whether that’s the sea, a river/stream or a shower!

For me seeing the ocean has this effect on me for sure, and I’ve never really thought about it but I guess I do have ideas in the bath or when I’m having a shower.

Also at the gym which is weird! I guess I’m so in the zone doing one task it allows for other things to come into my brain rather than being forced out.
