If you’re feeling stuck in either the conceptualization or writing process of your dissertation, you can improve your chances for a creative breakthrough. How? By engaging in some kind of rhythmic activity- like riding your bike, going for a walk, raking leaves, cutting vegetables or chopping wood. Any activity which is performed by regular, rhythmic actions will work for this purpose. The thinking behind this is that when your body is engaged in an activity that doesn’t require too much concentration or effort to maintain, your mind is free to wander a bit more fully. When your mind gently wraps itself around a problem, and you allow some time and space for this process, new answers and insights can emerge. So, the next time you feel stuck, get involved in another kind of activity and create an opening for a breakthrough.
