Are you still resilient if you get easily irritated? <\/p>\n<p>Stress expert Elke Van Hoof explains why stress and resilience aren\u2019t separate phases, but rather a constant interplay. Resilience becomes apparent precisely when you keep thinking through challenging situations, seek connection when things get tough, and slow down even as the pressure remains high. <\/p>\n<p>This dance takes a neurobiological and psychological toll. As a result, the frequency of switching between states often leaves you more exhausted than the severity of the stress itself. Elke explains the four factors that determine how resilient you are at any given moment. Resilience isn\u2019t a fixed trait, but a dynamic process\u2014and that\u2019s good news for our bodies and brains.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cProcrastination is an emergency brake for your stress system.\u201d Stress &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2831,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[241],"class_list":["post-2830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","tag-podcast-episode-36"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2830"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2830\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3796,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2830\/revisions\/3796"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohmypeople.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
