I would link this to the relatively recent research that connected lactic acid, which is created with muscle use, acting as a neurotransmitter that works on motivational systems in the brain. You need motivation to be and maintain creativity. I am sure there are other factors here at play like using the body grounds oneself, pulls you out of your mind, and will allow you to "pull away" from certain stories - or pathways - that you've been deeply reenforcing by maintaining your focus on them.

- loceng 13y agoWhen you use your body it interrupts certain depths of thinking some. So if you're in deep thought or stuck there, it will pull you out of those crevices. Movement basically helps break up thought, I feel especially when it's bilateral movement.
