Eat well. Do cool things. Feed your soul. Feel good about yourself. Nothing else matters - especially others' opinions of you. 📸 @natureprofessor : : : : : : : : : : : : : : #earthoutdoors #mountainstories #mountainlove #naturephoto #mountainlife #naturephotography #mountainlover #theoutbound #optoutside #photographersinthewild #fantasticearth #wildernessplanet #exploreourearth #sierras #highsierra #yosemitenationalpark #ynp #yosemite #avalancheclothing #avalanchewear #PlantBased #RawEnergy #SuperSeeds #SproutedNutrition #GoRaw #JunkFreeFood #GoRawBrandAmbassador

Walking takes longer, for example, than any other known form of locomotion except crawling. Thus it stretches time and prolongs life. Life is already too short to waste on speed. I have a friend who's always in a hurry; he never gets anywhere. Walking makes the world much bigger and thus more interesting. ~Edward Abbey 📸 by @natureprofessor : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : #exploretocreate#awesomeearth#igshotz#instagood10k#WeLiveToExplore#theglobewanderer#testedtough#amongthewild#freedomthinkers#justgoodshot#places_wow#worldnomads#earth_escape#earthoutdoors#earthfocus#goatworthy#sierranevada#highsierra#rangeoflight#sierras

It's very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems. ~Thich Nhat Hanh This is how we've been 'resting' on our weekends. It's been working for us. Work will always be there. The to do lists never end. Get away and treat yourself to something you enjoy. Because you deserve it, just as much as anyone else. 📸 by @natureprofessor : : : : : : : : : : : : : : #earthoutdoors #mountainstories #mountainlove #naturephoto #mountainlife #mountainlovers #naturephotography #earth_escape #IAmNature #mountainlover #theoutbound #optoutside #bestofbackpack #lonelyplanet #lonelyplanettraveller #werehikers #PeopleWhoHike #photographersinthewild #fantasticearth #wildernessplanet #exploreourearth #yosemitenationalpark #ynp #yosemite #sierranevada #highsierra #avalancheclothing #avalanchewear #artistspoint

Learning new things may be harder when you're older but it IS possible. I've learned to swim (still have lots of work to do there) and got much better at skiing this year. I've also started paying more attention to my diet again because the extra weight only makes things harder. One way to ensure I eat healthy is to take my own snacks with me where I go so I'm less tempted by junk foods. Bars are a staple for me and @go_raw bars are always in my pack. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : #earthoutdoors #mountainstories #mountainlove #naturephoto #mountainlife #mountainlovers #naturephotography #earth_escape #IAmNature #mountainlover #theoutbound #optoutside #bestofbackpack #lonelyplanet #lonelyplanettraveller #werehikers #PeopleWhoHike #photographersinthewild #fantasticearth #wildernessplanet #exploreourearth #GoRaw #JunkFreeFood #PlantBased #RawEnergy #SuperSeeds #SproutedNutrition #GoRawBrandAmbassador #squawvalleyalpinemeadows

I can't stress enough the importance of doing things to take care of yourself. Things that recharge you and bring you happiness. That bring the smile back to your face. When I go home to visit my folks I usually don't take extra days off from work because 1 1/2 days is usually all I can handle. I do it to spend time with them while they are in good health and our time together is meaningful. To recharge an extra day or two are necessary. So we choose to take those extra days off and go somewhere that involves nature and more quiet than city environments provide. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : #earthoutdoors #mountainstories #mountainlove #naturephoto #mountainlife #mountainlovers #naturephotography #earth_escape #IAmNature #mountainlover #theoutbound #optoutside #bestofbackpack #lonelyplanet #lonelyplanettraveller #werehikers #PeopleWhoHike #photographersinthewild #fantasticearth #wildernessplanet #exploreourearth #sierras #sierranevada #highsierra #rangeoflight #yosemitenationalpark #ynp #yosemite #CrockerPoint #tnf

I don't have a very good caption for this photo today. I woke up with a sore throat that's worse than yesterday. I'm keeping positive that I can fight it because I have to. If you have a remedy that works for you I'm all ears. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : #earthoutdoors #mountainstories #mountainlove #naturephoto #mountainlife #mountainlovers #naturephotography #earth_escape #IAmNature #mountainlover #theoutbound #optoutside #bestofbackpack #lonelyplanet #lonelyplanettraveller #werehikers #PeopleWhoHike #photographersinthewild #fantasticearth #wildernessplanet #exploreourearth #sierras #sierranevada #highsierra #rangeoflight #yosemitenationalpark #ynp #yosemite #sentinelbeach
