About This Resource and Why
I have always wondered how and why we tick the way we do. I was also interested in feeling great, looking for anything that could give me an edge toward that aim. Over the years, I have been fortunate to run across some very smart people, specializing in the field of optimum health, and I've also been good at keeping track of these people as references for my own health and for that of friends who would need help with something on the health front. With the information that I do have, I thought it would be a contribution worth sharing of what I have learned over a long period of time, and with that, here you are.
Enjoy the resources and references to optimum health, and I welcome any ideas for more valuable content, as this is a work in progress. As Wim Hof has been known to say, "Be healthy, strong, and happy." Good words to live by, and I hope this helps you along that path. ~Tim

Our Infinite Game
It's our own compound effect in our Infinite Game
We’re playing an infinite game here when it comes to our health and vitality. There is no finish line, and you can’t get it wrong, because you’re never done. It is not one and done. It is day after day, consistency the compound effect of daily practices, it brings about your optimum health. What you have a head are cornerstones of what we have control over. They have a common ground of all being within your control.
Putting this into practice...
Here’s a thought for you. Take an idea or practice from one of the subjects of breathing, hydration, sleep, exercise, nutrition, mind, and spirit. You can experience more deliberate breathing through your nose. You could drink a little more water or have more fresh fruits and vegetables for hydration (more on that later). You could experience longer sleep just by going to bed a half hour earlier than your usual. Start if new or extend your time of mindfulness or meditation. You can substitute just one food item you know you could improve upon. Or you could ramp up some aspect of your exercising. Do one thing and see what a difference it can make over a week or a month in each of these areas that’s a little better or a new practice in the day and make it a practice to put these into a habit form of daily improvement and see what happens. What you get beyond the actual practice is the satisfaction you get in taking more personal ownership of how you feel in your own vitality.
Creation of this site
How this came about...
This site evolved out of naturetohealing.com, with references to the healing power of nature and the awe and wonder that we get when in nature, all for you in one source. In addition to being out in nature for our own health and well-being, I begin thinking of the other parts of our day-to-day living that we have within our control for in health. And as I have always had a sense of self responsibility for my own health and well-being, there was a lot I realized that was worth sharing. Much of what is shared here is common sense, and yet often taken for granted. But when we do put a focus mindset toward these brilliant gifts of wellness, there’s a great sense of empowerment in taking responsibility for our own health and well-being.
About the Images
Throughout this site I have images, predominantly of nature and life around us, as a remind her of how much our connection to nature has for our well-being. Sprinkled in our also some images of life around us as inspiration for our own abilities. If this images look familiar, and you’ve seen my other work, this is all extension of my original work at timblakeimagery.com and Imagerytolifebook.com, where my images come to life with the wizardry of technology. There in lies a sign of my passion for appreciating nature and life around us and capturing the moment.
