Summary

Wim Hof is a Dutch extreme athlete noted for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures. Wim has set world records for swimming under ice and prolonged full-body contact with ice and still holds the record for a barefoot half marathon on ice and snow.

0:00.0	What is going to make 2021 different than 2020 for you?
0:04.8	The path to creating the life you want for yourself is paved with smaller steps than you might think.
0:10.5	In fact, the key to making impactful lasting change is through small doable steps,
0:16.9	taking an environment with the right support and know-how.
0:20.8	In the one-you-feed personal transformation program, I work one-on-one with people to build healthy habits
0:26.7	and achieve their goals through applied behavior science.
0:30.5	For example, Barb started working with me at a time when she knew she needed some additional support in her life.
0:36.7	Primarily, it was the need for additional support and scaffolding is the word that I use,
0:44.7	particularly during the pandemic, when my normal resources were less available and everything felt harder,
0:52.9	compounded by my mother passing away right before the pandemic as well.

1:40.1	And I was like, okay, I can do that. That feels good. Okay, let's go to five minutes.
1:43.3	And so this very incremental baby steps approach really paid off. And I was like, oh, I got this.
1:48.3	This is great. And it was nice to have some wins. So when I say positive, that's what I mean.
1:52.6	It was the sense of like building on wins and building those
