That is why he maintains several hobbies that include physical activity, to keep his mind and body in tune so he is always at his best when performing on the job. Below, he shares some of these activities and explains how they serve as a benefit to his personal, emotional, and spiritual health.

Hiking

There is no cheaper and easier way of being active while also enjoying nature than to simply go on a hike. Kirk Smith MD of Tulsa tries to get out as much as he can to go breathe the fresh air, move his legs and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature to refresh his mind. After living on Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation in the high elevation above 7,000 feet in northern New Mexico, Dr. Smith has been able to explore many breathtaking vistas and see all that nature has to offer while hiking along numerous high elevation trails up to 13,000 feet in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico.

Biking

Another way to be active and enjoy the outdoors would be biking. Whether riding his bike to and from work or just getting out for pleasure, Dr. Smith enjoys getting out under the sun and pedaling as far as he can go.

Gardening and Landscaping

While many might view landscaping duties as a chore, Dr. Smith embraces doing yard work and being outside and active in the dirt. He is constantly finding ways to improve upon his own land having re-landscaped several properties to add lifelong beauty for his family, future owners, and neighbors to enjoy.

Skiing

While he doesn’t get to ski as much as he engages with his other hobbies, Dr. Smith is still a big fan of the sport and embraces a winter mountain getaway whenever the opportunity arises.  The prolific snow in the San Juan range of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico has afforded Dr. Smith and Teresa many amazing adventures in areas receiving up to 450 inches of annual snowfall.

Scuba Diving

Similar to skiing, scuba diving is an activity that Dr. Smith loves to participate in whenever he has the chance. Whenever he gets the chance, Dr. Smith is amazed at the spectacular marine life and scenery experienced beneath the surface every time he scuba dives.

Horseback Riding

Is there a better way to experience the countryside than from the back of a horse? Dr. Smith loves the opportunity to ride these magnificent animals and explore new terrain.
