Listen "Part 2 of 2: Cultivating Resilience with Matt Hughes"
Episode Synopsis
This is part 2 of 2 of the series with resilience expert Matt Hughes. You will find Part 1 in our list of episodes.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
Why resilience is a set of habits and skills and not a personality trait you're born with.
The four most common threats to our resilience.
How to identify personal skills that can turn into rituals to cultivate more resilience.
Our favourite quotable moment:
“Exercise does a fantastic job of producing and firing endorphins around the body, which are the body’s feel-good hormones. Exercise has also been found to reduce stress hormones, which help foster relaxation. And when we feel good, we think good, and when we think good, we feel good. So it’s a virtuous cycle and exercise can help us to let go of stress and tension, while also giving our brain time to recharge.” – Matt Hughes (28:02)
