For me, it is activities that "stop" the thinker - which include exercise (running), listening to music, sports etc. What stopping the thinker does is to get out of the world-models that we are trapped in.
The issue with "thinking" is an up-front realization that not all problems can be solved with thinking. There are "higher-orders" of logic at play and it is vain of us to hope for a thinking solution in the same frame that created the problem. Now, this doesnt mean that thinking is bad - as thinking serves to clarify our world-models. Only that, it needs to be paused every-so-often for the cosmic-resonance to soak in the vibrations so-to-speak which then become conceptual fodder for our subsequent thinking and refining of the world-models.
