Regular walks is such a big one for me. When I realised how often the solution to a problem I was trying to solve would come to me even if I just went for a ten minute walk round the block and thought about something else for a minute, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t done it before!
It’s now my default thing to do if I am struggling with a problem or just feeling slightly unfocused, even if it’s raining - I’m fortunate that my office pre-lockdown was on the ground floor, and my apartment has a large enough balcony that now I tend to pace up and down there rather than mess around locking up and going downstairs etc. I can see how having a lift to wait for etc. might make me less keen to do this all the time, but seriously, try it! (It’s good for you too :))
