What do you think of while you walk?
My thought process is divided into distinct areas:
Brainstorming - Thinking about work, coming up with creative ideas and trying to solve problems. I often can think more clearly while walking than when sitting in front of my computer. I spend quite a bit of walk time brainstorming.
Logistics and mechanics - Which route am I taking? Am I walking the right way or do I need to adjust my stride? These thoughts usually are momentary, after which I return to other thoughts.
Spirituality - I frequently zone out while walking, and let my mind wander, and these wanderings often lead into the spiritual realm. This especially happens if I've recently read a thought-provoking book. (For instance, I recently completed Genesis and the Big Bang by Gerald Schroeder, which attempts, using the fossil record, advanced mathematics and the theory of relativity, to reconcile the Big Bang with the Creation. Plenty to think about there!)
Finding a bathroom - Being 51 years old of sound mind and body, I occasionally feel the need to relieve myself while walking. I plan my routes so that I'm no more than 10 minutes from an available facility, just in case.
