1:40It is solved by walking. You've got this vexing problem. You've got this decision to make. You've got this conflict that you keep going round and round with your spouse about. You've got this frustration, this anger, this anxiety that won't go away. What do you do about it? You go for a walk. Walks are a kind of magic. They clear your head. They calm your nerves. They pull you away from distractions. Seneca said the mind must be given over to wandering walks, and so too must you. Get outside, get moving, go for a hike, walk down to the mailbox, take a few laps around the block. Watch as ideas suddenly appear in your mind, feel the tension in your shoulders ease.

2:27Notice how problems that once seemed insurmountable are now a little bit less daunting. A walk won't solve everything forever, but it will make things a little better for a little while. And then, when it wears off, well, take another walk.

That's why I don't begrudge them when they appear on the shows that I listen to.
