I don’t have a lot of followers. But this is the single most important thing I’ve ever posted. This topic is truly the one of the closest to my heart. This single thing has been the most impactful on my personal overall health. All of these images are from my amazing summer here in Utah and I’m happy to share little snapshots of the things that have brought me joy and peace this year. 🏔️ Nature makes us feel small because its vastness makes our worries seem insignificant. We are but a spec of dust, floating in space. But, that’s where the peace comes from. it reminds us how temporary our problems are compared to the world’s endless beauty. It humbles us and helps us relax, showing us we’re part of something much bigger. 🏔️ Being out in nature boosts our health by reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing mental clarity. ☀️ The fresh air, sunlight, and physical activity support our immune system, increase energy, and lower blood pressure. 🧠 Nature encourages mindfulness, helping us disconnect from daily distractions and reconnect with our well-being. Immersing yourself into nature is our reset button. #Utah #MentalHealth #Outdoors #Nature #healthylifestyle #flyfishing #Health

This is how we’re spending Easter!

It’s just data. But it’s helped me identify habits to remove to help me sleep better. It got me to entirely remove alcohol ~4 years ago because of how it would negatively impact my resting heart rate. It helps me get to a daily step goal. But I don’t really care for day-to-day data. Just trends and things like travel.

@MuscleBusUtah @CoachDanGo @ouraring That is true that we precive things in a different way, cab you tell me how that data helps you in your daily life? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts since you had it for 5 years

For the past 6 months I've gotten away from using an Apple watch, Oura, Whoop, and any other type of wearable. I've noticed no changes in my physical health but a positive change in my mental health as I've stopped using a piece of tech to tell me how I should feel.

You experience on X greatly improves when you block/ignore anonymous accounts. Real people. That’s it. Everything else is slop.

Sunrise in park city. Doesn’t really ever get old.

@CoachDanGo You know. I wore them for a bit and never noticed a difference. But when I switched my light bulbs in my house from white to a soft orange that made a big difference.

She’s waiting patiently to sniff the trout.

Any better feeling than having browns take streamers in clear water? The eats never get old.

I see Japanese trucks and I like them. My next truck has gotta be a Kei Truck! Here’s my American Jeep I use for off-roading and fly fishing.

Out n’ about.

@CoachDanGo It’s funny because this shouldn’t even be debated. The evidence is overwhelming that exercise is by far the most effective approach for anxiety and depression…

Workout so hard that it’s impossible to think about your problems.

@NoJoe64 It was a fun take on the streamer!

@MuscleBusUtah That’s a good one Tanner! I think I’m jealous.

Update:

You have to scroll quite a bit on this group if you want actual Flyfishing. This group is unmoderated bots and spin casting. If you want Flyfishing and Flyfishing only, join my group. This one is toast. x.com/i/communities/…

Organized (somewhat) boxes and up at 2a, about to disappear for the next 14 hours. 👋

@idbusa Im 30 and feel like I can’t see my flies 🤣 these look great.

On the fly tying vise today. Mother Shuckers have been working really well. Problem is I have a hard time seeing them. Added some parapost in florescent yellow

@ShamsCharania @WorldWideWob Adam Silver announces a $500,000 fine to the Utah Jazz for Giannis sitting.

Statement from the National Basketball Players Association on the Milwaukee Bucks' desires to shut down Giannis Antetokounmpo, who wants to play:

99.8% of people in Yellowstone will never get off the main road. Hire a guide and go on the trails and deep into the park and I promise you’ll love it.

@idbusa I’d try it! If I’m being completely honest, I feel like I never have luck with the flashier bodies and do a bit better with darker greens and blacks in the body.

Working on the fly tying vise today. Improved Blow Torch. Changed to a dark olive Spectra dubbing. It’s less green than the black peacock. Using light dun CDC for the collar.

@CoachDanGo Real goats know dumbbell incline > barbell flat.

Incline chest presses. Loads the upper pec fibers, shoulders and triceps at an angle better than a flat bench press.
