Imagine that you're in Florida and you are driving through the Ocala National Forest. Suddenly, you lose phone signal, but you know from directions given that you are going to make it to the destination. You get to your destination and you grab your picnic gear and head over to a shaded area with a picnic table. You check your phone and you don't see any messages or social media notifications. Do you feel relieved? happy? anxious? sad? If you are any of these emotions, then you need to take some time away from your cell phone while out in nature.
I understand if one wants to take pictures of areas in nature that you want to remember, but staying in nature shouldn't consist of you being on social media or texting friends the whole time. One should take that time to be alone and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. Depending on the area, I would look up different species of animals and plants that are a possibility to be seen on the trail. I would also consider the time of year as well because you don't want to get ticks on you but it is more reason to go swimming in the freshwater springs since the trials can be terribly hot during the summer anywhere.
Honestly, when you have a natural freshwater spring in front of you with a bathing suit on that shows that you need to be enjoying yourself. If the cool water doesn't inspire you to jump in on a hot Florida summer's day, then it may be you having a problem. Going to a freshwater spring all year round, in Florida, is a treat because it constantly stays the same temperature all year round. All springs, in Florida, tend to be in a rural area, but it's worth driving past all of the farms. Depending on the national park, going to a national park will always be cheaper than a Theme Park. Packing a picnic will save money on food than eating theme park food. If you bring swimming masks, one can experience fish in the freshwater spring.
Going on adventures and unplugging can be a relaxing experience. One does not need to be on social media all of the time or working from your phone all of the time. We all need time to decompress and enjoy life. Going to places that have no cell phone service can be the best thing for your mental health at the moment. If you don't want to go alone then go with friends and family that you, maybe, haven't seen in a long time. Pack a picnic, a bathing suit, a change of clothes, etc and get out of home and explore the area around you. If you don't have water to swim in, explore the trials. Make sure you know what to expect and tips on how to dress. Go on and have a merry adventure.
