I’ve found fishing to be a very soothing and calming activity. It helps me to
concentrate on the tranquil waters. Whether I’m sea fishing or fishing in a
lake, being near water and nature is always good for my mental health.
I only tried fishing recently, on a trip with my boyfriend, but instantly loved
it!. We spent a very pleasant day on one lake in Staffordshire from 7am
to 6pm and the time flew by. So I’ll try to go again whenever the weather
permits. Fishing is actually employed on the NHS in Manchester, Edinburgh
and Glasgow areas as an activity that’s scientifically proven to aid
well-being and help beat anxiety and depression.
