Intro
Welcome to Minimal 1, a podcast about minimalism and simplicity. My name is Simon, and today we’re going to take a walk. Let’s go!

Main
You’re sitting at your desk, or lounging around at home, as you have been for hours. You may not realize it, but you’re not thinking as clearly or creatively as you could be. The solution? Get up, go out the door, and enjoy a nice walk outside. It doesn’t matter of it’s dark outside, cold, or even raining. As my grandma always used to say, you’re not made out of sugar. She also said, if you like to get rained on, you’re trying to grow. An outdoor walk is not only beneficial for health reasons (muscle use, heart rate, fresh air), but it gets you out of the same old environment, thus both adding new perspectives and allowing you to think more clearly and in new ways than ever before. Someone who was known for the walk-and-talk meetings was none other than Steve Jobs.

Challenge of the day
Today, I challenge you to go for a 15-minute walk outside, without technology, just you and your thoughts while observing the natural world around you. Then, let me know if that helped you.
