Some members have sought tranquillity in their lives but simply don't know where to start. If they think camping is the answer I can vouch it certainly is a start. However- it can take time to wind down
Eg we headed off with our caravan three days ago. First day I vomited, then it intensified and now I'm OK, this happens every trip caused by moving out of my comfort zone sparking anxiety.
Now we're settled on a riverbank but for me I need to mentally go much deeper. This might give you my meaning-
WHERE A FAMILY USED TO TREAD
There's something about Australia that runs a chill up and down ya back
When we stroll along the rivers where the colonial whips would crack
And those same chills would come and go like bushies about to wed
Likely the sandy foundations of a shingled hut, where a family use to tread
So it's not just a stroll but a magic left behind
And the ancient owners hunting ground where the river forever winds
For there's that depth of green and gold and the need to build and settle
And the colonial wife with grit beside a steaming kettle
We didn't just build our shacks nor conquer every rocky cragg
We plough virgin land behind a determined draughty nag
And the miners cottages sprang up where Eureka found its way
And the swaggies filled every wagon track without a map nor means to pay
For this great land of Aussie pride is a gem we embrace with lust
Let's remember the gold diggers that dug but only found the dust
There's something about Australia that runs a chill up and down your back
When we stroll along the rivers where the colonial whips would crack

But we're not all poets. What I'm eluding to could include merely appreciating one breath of air, valuing the sun on your face, and steak on a campfire or the absence of humans those that don't contribute towards your well being
"Staying well" also should include "seeking ideal conditions to enable you to be as well as possible then staying well" which is governed by the frequency of your vacations.
Sometimes we need to feed our minds to guide it to what is an individuals ultimate peace.
What is your method? Do you relate?
