    daily walks/hikes180 Proof

    Rousseau and Nietzsche walked to think. Kant walked through his town at the same time daily to escape the “compulsion of thought.” They say that you could set your watch by his passing.

    I've walked our dog 2-3 miles daily for probably around a decade, rarely missing a day. Listened to a lot of books on tape while walking also. They say that the physical activity and environment can be both calming and stimulate the mind.

    On ne peut penser et ecrire qu'assis [One cannot think and write except when seated] (G. Flaubert). There I have caught you, nihilist! The sedentary life is the very sin against the Holy Spirit. Only thoughts reached by walking have value. — Twilight of the Idols, Maxims & Arrows (34)

    For me it's Wikipedia. It has been it for a while too I think.

    I can't wait to find new sources.
