About This Resource and Why
I grew up always wondering 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 from time to time would need help with something on the health front. Wouldn't it have been great if I had this summary of helpful resources way back when so I can start off with the best of the best in health and nutrition. 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 always wondering how and why we tick the way we do.

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 of one food item you know you could improve upon (perhaps with an idea you can from one of the talks here. 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 one thing that is undeniable, and that is you just taken more personal ownership of how you feel in your own vitality. Try that on for size and see how you do.
Creation of this site
How this came about...
The predecessor of this site is naturetohealing.com, or a re-searched and put down every reference to the healing power of nature in the art and wonder that we get what I’m serving nature that I could find, and put them into one central source. Oh, as powerful, as just being out in nature is to 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. Most of this may all seem like common sense to you, and yet, if I had to guess, also, most of which we don’t really think about day-to-day. But when we do put a focus mindset toward these. brilliant gifts of wellness that we can tap into, there’s a great sense of empowerment that I know that I have been taking complete responsibility for my own health and well-being and for that, I am looking forward to sharing that with you here.
