Today I was reading an article from National Geografic about going solo in the nature.
I think that it is a great idea,(I maybe need to be a little bit braver to do myself) here is a clip :
"So much of our lives is filled with stimulation and distraction. We
rush from one thing to the next, be it work, errands, paying bills,
taking care of kids, exercising or spending time with friends. How often
do you actually put on the brakes and take time to reflect—on who you
are you, what you want, and the meaning of your one precious life?
Chances are, not often enough.
The good news is that there’s a cure for this affliction. And yup,
you guessed it, it involves going outside. Outdoor adventures feed the
soul like nothing else. Exposed to the elements and raw beauty of
nature, you escape from everyday life. The only catch is, you can’t
escape from yourself—particularly if you’re alone."
..." Emily seeks time alone in the wilds to ground herself. So a couple of
weeks ago, in need of a bit of reflection, she headed out for a
transformative night.."..As night fell, things changed. Emily started getting a little afraid.
Her head switched, and all of a sudden, every noise, every tree branch
breaking, even her dogs barking freaked her out. Emily was terrified.
She described it as beyond common sense—her basic human instincts set
in, and she was a slave to fearful thoughts. I’m sure we can all relate
to this."
...and then she see the moon comes out and brighten the dark corners of her mind,
..
"So she faced her fear and realized that it was just in her head. Fear is
a manifestation of your thoughts. You can either allow yourself to give
into fearful thoughts, or you can redirect your attention to something
more positive. As Emily says, you are the only barrier to all of your
possibilities."
