Just got home from the mountains
I recommend this kind of trip to anyone who is stressing.
Details of your trip? I'm assuming you went solo, which IMO is the way to go if you're looking to unwind and de-stress.
On a related note, have you ever considered paying a visit to an isolation tank center in your area?
Yes, I went solo. The trip was great, the house I was in lays in the mountains. So the view was pure mountains and blue skies. The air was clean as can be. I left all technology at home. iPod, phone, laptop, everything. It was just me and nature.
I went hiking in the mountains a couple times. During the day it was serene, and at night it had shock value. Which I love. Bears, cougers, and all types of animals lived in there.
There was also a natural lake a few miles off. I would jog to the lake, then jump in. The water was a clear brown. But it had zero chemicals, just water and underlying sediments. So swimming in there felt really good.
But the atmosphere in general was simple serene. The only town in sight was a few mile off, so when I went hiking or running in the night all the stars were out. Before bed I would read a chapter from "The Art of War" and think about it as I stretched before bed.
It's a trip I would recomend for anyone.
Sounds amazing...off topic but I was listening to coldplay while reading your post and it went along with the story lmao
