Staying healthy is difficult. If you are an artist, it is much more difficult. Artists are, I guess, not outdoor type and staying inside whole day is not unusual. In case of a music producer, sitting in front of the PC for hours and looking at a screen is not healthy at all. But when you are not feeling well, you cannot be creative. I think it is important to do some exercise to stay healthy and more importantly, to be creative. For me, creativity doe not always come from cultural activities like reading books, listening music, etc. In my case, cycling is something I do for my health and also for my creativity.
Cycling is a sort of meditation. I can be alone and think about many things. When I am at home, there are many things that I have to do. But on my bicycle, I do not need to do anything but pedaling and thinking. The method of meditation is to focus on breathing. So cycling is meditation whereI focus on pedaling. When I finish cycling, I feel tired but refreshed and energized.
Looking at worlds outside is inspirational because there are things that I do not see in my room. In my room, I am surrounded by familiar things. I know everything there. I think it is important to experience something unfamiliar to be creative. Cycling around unfamiliar places is always fun.
Music is great but it is not everything. Explore the world and be creative!
