1. Get off the grid
Pick a spot in nature that is off the beaten path, a place where you aren’t likely to see a lot of other people. These types of destinations are everywhere in the Florida Wildlife Corridor! Whether you find a quiet corner of Everglades National Park or a peaceful stretch of the Kissimmee River, you can’t go wrong.

2. Pick your activity
Choose an outdoor adventure that matches your interest so that you can focus less on the activity and more on relaxation. Here are just a few ideas:
- Grab your fishing rod and cast a line over the lake
- Take a leisurely walk
- Pack a picnic to enjoy at the park
- Spend a day on the beach, listening to the soothing sound of waves

3. Take deep breaths
No matter what you choose to do or where you choose to do it, take a few moments to slow down and sit in stillness, taking deep breaths and listening to the sounds of nature around you. Allow nature’s tranquility to calm your mind and rejuvenate your spirit.
Did you know that walking leisurely through a forest, absorbing the sights, sounds, and scents of the woodlands, has been proven to reduce stress, boost your mood, and enhance your overall well-being?
Bonus: Get creative
Tap into your creativity by using nature as your muse. Carry a sketchbook, write in a journal, or bring a camera to capture these quiet moments in nature. Let your creative expression flow! Don’t forget to tag #LiveWildlyFL if you share any of these inspiring moments on social media.
Time in nature is the perfect antidote to unwind and recharge after a big event. And there’s no better place to relax than in the beauty of wild Florida. For more inspiration, we invite you to Explore the Corridor.
