Insightful piece, as usual, by Craig Mod.

It sounded crazy to me when I first read his rules for the solo walks. I’m fully onboard with no news, no social media. I wasn’t prepared for no music, no books, minimal to no talking. When I go for a run, I have to pop my earbuds in. When I drive, I have a podcast, audiobook, or music playing. And they end up not giving me time with my own thoughts. All these are habits which I have built myself though, precisely to give my mind something to be occupied with. What we make, we can break. I’ll start to introduce stretches of time everyday where I just think for myself or pay attention to the moment.
