And actually, we are far more creative in that space because

Our brains, and I mean, the human brains are obviously completely remarkable.

Our brains will make these connections that we didn't even think was possible.

So it's why when you go out for a long walk, we were in the shower, whatever it is, ideas actually have the space to form.

Because again, the way we're living now is just so out of whack with how we are designed to live.

So our brains are not designed to be...

distracted the whole time like they say it takes about 15 minutes when you check your phone to regain your composure for most of us we don't go 15 minutes the whole day without checking our phone so what that basically means is that we're in a permanent state of distraction which is absolutely wild so there's this whole these whole systems um in our brain that we're not even allowing uh happen and i think those are where all the best ideas come from so yeah i mean

always if i go for an unplugged experience i'll come back with ideas energy like everything like that and um uh and yeah so so massively massively uh just sold on on that idea and i think again it is as simple as going out for a walk and leaving your phone at home for an hour like i'm gonna do that today i'm gonna do that after this call i'm gonna go out for my lunch walk and i'm gonna not have a not have a phone with me i think

100%.

Yeah, I think the temptation when, especially when there's something that's hard, and we're struggling with and it's maybe causing a stress, like we feel the need, I've noticed this myself, that when I'm stressed out about something, I'll want to like, busy myself with with doing work that kind of feels like I'm

I'm helping the thing so say it's raising money or feel like I need to like spend extra time reaching out to investors whatever so we do these things that that soothe ourselves you know it might be like going and spending time on social media so that we can think about what we need to put or whatever it is and actually so often the best thing to do is the opposite which is to step away and just give ourselves the space it's the hardest thing to do as well it takes courage because

it takes courage to step away and give ourselves that space because it feels like we've got something unsolved.

We almost need to whip ourselves because of that insecurity of like, I don't feel enough because I haven't solved this thing.

So I need to busy myself.

I need to be doing more so that I make myself feel like enough.

So I think it takes courage to be able to say, hey, I'm going to give myself the space.

I don't need to solve this right now.

I'm going to go for a walk.

And yeah, in my experience, everything, yeah, nothing is harder after a walk than beforehand.

So everything is a little clearer.
