3 Takeaways from my interview with Wim Hof

I had the pleasure of having the great Wim Hof on Office Hours this week. For those who don't know Wim Hof aka 'The Iceman' was awarded the nickname by breaking a number of records related to cold exposure including: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle barefoot, and standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes.

Using the cold as his teacher, his extensive training has enabled him to learn to control his breathing, heart rate, and blood circulation to withstand extreme temperatures.

Here are 3 biggest lessons I took away:

How to take our ideas to the masses

?Coming up with an idea, concept, or practice that will positively impact the lives of others is great, but there are certain steps we need to take in order to spread the word.

First, we need to build our credibility and the evidence of its efficacy, which helps us make our pitch. Once we’ve “proven” our idea, we must go back to the drawing board to ensure that we are explaining the value of that concept in a way that makes it accessible and easily understood.

?Why everyone should prioritize their happiness, strength, and health

?Our health is our wealth, so find techniques and tools that we can incorporate into our daily lives in order to improve these areas. When we can better understand the inner strength that we possess, we can cast away the darkness, confusion, and fears that we experience.

As Wim says, we are all divine beings, and we need to feel that way.?

?Everything starts with intuition

?Following our instincts and intuition can lead us to some of our greatest breakthroughs in our life, personally and professionally. We can find our inner power when we choose to venture outside the comfort zone. Expose yourself to a wide range of experiences and look for the lessons in the challenges that you face along the way.
