My favorite Place to Unwind

The word stress can be deeper than what we think it is if seen thoughtfully. Stress can change someone if not properly managed. It can wear you down and put you in an emotional situation you never thought of. Even depression can be a result of piled-up stress. One thing we must know is that everyone experiences stress, so we shouldn't let ours overwhelm us.

Recently, I've been focusing on my general self-improvement. And in the process, I've been able to learn so many things, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. One of the best things that has happened to me in this journey is finding the things that interest me most and not the things that make me feel I belong. I will say that before now, I loved to do what people do, and agree with the masses even when I had a different view of the situation. At some point, I come to realize that I may end up living a life that is not mine and that what works for them may not work for me.
This was like finding light in a dark forest, I began to reflect on myself and discover a little bit of who I am.

This week's Hive Ghana engagement topics are all very interesting and I wish to write on at least two of them. So today I'll be sharing with you my favorite place to unwind and hang out with friends.

I find joy in simple things, appreciate little things, and embrace peace at all times. Before now, I didn't know how to manage myself when I was stressed, confused, bored, or burnt out. I will follow my friends to an eatery, sit out, or whatever you call a fun-filled crowded place with the hope of unwinding and having some fun.

The truth is that I always ended up being more tired than I went there. I had fun, yes. But not the tranquility I desired. So as time goes I began to pay more attention to natural places and discovered that I found happiness being around flowers, trees, water bodies, etc.
Places like these became my favorite places to unwind, hang out with friends, and have fun.

I prefer a place like this because I will have all the time to myself without any distractions. Watch and feel nature and derive happiness from appreciating its beauty and existence. If I'm with friends, we will play games, talk at normal tunes, and express ourselves the way we want; nature has a way of making us do that.

The greenfield at Brook's Street is a few min's drive from my home. This is where I love to be especially on weekdays, as it is always crowded on Sundays. It's a conserved area for leisure and relaxation.
