The water is open. What are you waiting for? It’s time to go fishing and boating.
The sound of water induces relaxation and makes one feel at ease. Studies also show adopting a “blue mind” state of mind through activities like boating and fishing—a theory popularized by marine biologist and bestselling author Dr. Wallace H. Nichols—rests our brains and appeals to our senses while enabling awe, wonder and happiness. It greatly contrasts the “red mind”—or today’s “anxious, over-connected and over-stimulated state” world.
Being on a boat, for instance, resets the human brain, is meditative, awe-inspiring, inspires creativity, and directly appeals to the senses. Fishing equally reduces stress, facilitates social bonding, and is fun.
