We see fishing being depicted as an exhilarating tug-of-war between man and fish. Fishing does function as an intense workout. However, what isn’t shown is that these intense bouts of exercise are separated by periods of peace. Sometimes, the fish bite. Other times, they barely nibble. Fishing requires patience.
One may dismiss these bouts of peace as boring. That’s understandable, but as world events are progressively stimulating our anxieties, those bouts of peace are becoming increasingly alluring. If you want a respite from your anxiety, here’s why planning a fishing trip to Cabo San Lucas may be a good idea:
Disconnect
The internet and social media have left us perpetually connected to the rest of the world, for better or worse. Unmanaged, the continuous flow of bad news intensifies our anxieties. If you find it difficult to manage your time on social media, then it may be the right time to disconnect. Often, when we’re bombarded with information, we don’t get enough time to properly process all of it. When we start to process, new information begins to flow in and divert our attention.
Spending some time at sea might help with a few of these problems. Firstly, you put some distance between yourself and your fast-paced life. It gives you time to understand what’s happening and assuage your anxiety. Secondly, it’s peaceful. Whether we like to admit or not, our brains need a break, and sometimes sleep isn’t enough. A peaceful period of reflection and calm with nature could benefit all of us.
Exercise
Whether it’s looking good or the release of endorphins, working out makes us happier. That being said, it’s a momentary reprieve if you’re constantly in an anxious environment. The benefits of exercise are undermined when social media begins to overload your brain right after your workout.
Fishing mitigates that problem. Reeling in a fish is a very intense workout. Imagine reeling in a fish with upwards of 200 pounds of muscle. It’s exhilarating and trying, and does exactly what a workout does. However, once you’re done and the adrenaline wears down, you’re back in a peaceful and anxiety-free environment at sea.
Reconnecting
Disconnecting for social media’s global village doesn’t mean you need to disconnect from your friends and family. In fact, a fishing trip is probably a good time to reconnect with your distant friends and family. Spending some time with your loved ones at sea is a tranquil experience that will give your mind some time to recuperate.
As the world becomes more tense, it’s important to let our minds recover to deal with the future. Connecting with friends, family, and nature heals the mind.
