Taking a step back from a problem or a crisis can actually help you find solutions...
Dutch researchers had participants step or walk forward, backward and to the side while tackling some mental tasks. The backward walkers outperformed the others by a significant margin. That’s because our brains automatically switch into high alert mode if we’re doing something out of the ordinary or uncomfortable.
Walking backward forces the brain to think in a completely different way. It can also strengthen existing neural connections and help grow new ones. Backward walking is even a popular form of exercise in China.
