If you’ve ever felt stuck, tired, or creatively drained — this episode may be the simplest, most useful creative reset you try all year.

You'll discover how just 10 minutes in nature can shift your mindset, refresh your energy, and open space for breakthrough ideas.

🌿 In this episode you’ll discover:
• Why walking — even just a few minutes — activates divergent thinking, giving you more creative ideas than sitting ever could.

• How exposure to nature acts as a gentle “reset button” for your brain, restoring attention and mental energy so creativity can bloom.

• Emotional and mental-health boosts from being outdoors — lower stress, improve your mood, provide clearer focus and breakthrough ideas.

• Why a 10-minute nature “reset break” can interrupt stuck or repetitive thinking and expand your mental field — making room for fresh, unexpected ideas.

• Five practical ways to integrate short outdoor sessions into your creative life: micro-nature breaks, mindful walking, nature-inspired prompts, creative incubation, and idea retrieval rituals.

• A guided 10-minute “Outdoor Creativity Reset” you can do with Beth— today.

Whether you’re a painter, writer, creator, entrepreneur, crafter, or any type of creative —this episode shows you how to tap into nature as your easiest, most trustworthy creative collaborator.
