Once again in a coaching session this morning I've been reminded of the many benefits of moving .... in this case it was moving in the sense of walking fast enough to feel breathless for ten minutes. The person said that even after such a short time ideas she felt more creative and able to plan the next step of her personal journey.
In another coaching session recently I was asking about body language and how the person sat when feeling stuck and demoralised. It seemed that when he experimented with changing his position he began to feel less stuck and when he adopted what to him felt like riduculous positions he began to see a way back to some optimism. Movement helped when words didn't
Personally I find 45 minutes of aqua aerobics liberating; the movement in the water, the music and the childlike quality of splashing about and the deep breathing mean I leave the pool full of new ideas, even when I'm tired.
So from the coaching point of view if talking isn't opening up a way forward or bringing energy into your thinking; get moving
