Thinking is a physiological phenomenon.
First, get a muscular and blood pump. I find that just walking to the gym, Vibram five fingers is best. And once you’re at the gym, attempt a one rep max style of lifting, no headphones. Often while I am lifting, or in between lifts, this is when I get some of my most interesting thoughts.
Second, sunlight. Spend as much time as humanly possible out side of your house or office or home, getting direct light. If it is cold outside, just buy an expensive Canada goose jacket and layer up.
Third, movement. One does not think and then move, instead, one moves, and while one is moving, one thinks.
I think that any and every type of movement is beneficial to thinking; whether walking, hiking, walking around the gym, walking around an outdoor shopping center, or even driving. Or in transit on a plane or at the airport. Or even walking around at Costco!
