“Movement is medicine” escapes traditional use-case when we realize the phrase can be applied to our ideas, dreams, hopes, and the ways in which we’d like to see things change. In refusing to become paralyzed by the scale of our problems we realize that movement, regardless of its pace, is essential to solving them. In refusing to halt forward motion we become an engaged participant and find ourselves taking the first step even when we’re unsure where subsequent steps will take us.
When thinking about what to do next, maybe the goal isn’t to choose the perfect or best path, but one that seems to more naturally enable meaningful progress.
When thinking about how to solve a problem, maybe we should consider trading an all encompassing strategy for an obsession with movement, regardless of how many steps it takes we take or how fast we take them.
