Me pregunté: ¿La forma en la que te ve la gente es como eres realmente? Si concentras todos tus esfuerzos en parecer algo y lo consigues –y eso es lo que la gente percibe de ti-, ¿te conviertes en ello automáticamente? O incluso: ¿te conviertes en ello con el tiempo?. Dicho de otra manera: ¿Acabas creyéndote el personaje que te inventas? ¿Acabas convirtiéndote en el personaje que te inventas?

I don't deserve all that I have.
Hoy me sucedió lo que hace mucho tiempo había deseado, sin embargo, me veía horrenda, sudada y cansada, pero aún así accedí a ser modelo para un principiante de fotografía... por 5 minutos. 🤣😅👸
Suele suceder... -.-’
Pensar que desde Enero tenía la tesis y aún no tengo todo, me muero. Pérdida de tiempo la mía.
Pensar que he acabado la tesis es bueno, pero aún no he hecho mis trámites. Espero hacerlos pronto, la siguiente semana será prudente. Mi falta de responsabilidad hace que todo se atrase... Espero hacer todo muy pronto.
How to Practice Effectively
Mastering any physical skill, be it performing a pirouette, playing an instrument, or throwing a baseball, takes practice. Practice is the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement, and it helps us perform with more ease, speed, and confidence.
There are many theories that attempt to quantify the number of hours, days, and even years of practice that it takes to master a skill. While we don’t yet have a magic number, we do know that mastery isn’t simply about the amount of hours of practice. It’s also the quality and effectiveness of that practice. Effective practice is consistent, intensely focused, and targets content or weaknesses that lie at the edge of one’s current abilities. So if effective practice is the key, how can we get the most out of our practice time?
Below are 4 tips for practicing better for just about anything!
1. Focus on the task at hand. Minimize potential distractions by turning off the computer or TV and putting your cell phone on airplane mode. In one study, researchers observed 260 students studying. On average, those students were able to stay on task for only six minutes at a time. Laptops, smartphones, and particularly Facebook were the root of most distractions.
2. Start out slowly or in slow-motion. Coordination is built with repetitions, whether correct or incorrect. If you gradually increase the speed of the quality repetitons, you have a better chance of doing them correctly.
3. Next, frequent repetitions with allotted breaks are common practice habits of elite performers. Studies have shown that many top athletes, musicians, and dancers spend 50-60 hours per week on activities related to their craft. Many divide their time used for effective practice into multiple daily practice sessions of limited duration.
4. Finally, practice in your brain in vivid detail. It’s a bit surprising, but a number of studies suggest that once a physical motion has been established, it can be reinforced just by imagining it. In one study, 144 basketball players were divided into two groups. Group A physically practiced one-handed free throws while Group B only mentally practiced them. When they were tested at the end of the two week experiment, the intermediate and experienced players in both groups had improved by nearly the same amount.
As scientists get closer to unraveling the secrets of our brains, our understanding of effective practice will only improve. In the meantime, effective practice is the best way we have of pushing our individual limits, achieving new heights, and maximizing our potential.

Rewarding Research
If you do something you enjoy – such as winning a game or eating a tasty meal – you feel good. In the world of neuroscience this is known as ‘reward’, and it’s triggered by nerve cells (neurons) in the brain that release a chemical called dopamine. This fires up other nerve cells and reinforces the idea that you enjoy the thing you’re doing and want to do it again. In contrast, unpleasant activities shut down dopamine-releasing neurons and lead to avoidance. Human brains are complicated, so scientists are studying the simpler desires of fruit flies, whose dopamine neurons fire in response to sugary water. This image shows a fruit fly’s brain under the microscope, with a particular group of dopamine neurons highlighted in green. By tracing the signals that go in and out of these cells, scientists can start to understand how patterns of nerve cell activation lead to specific behaviours.

Lo amo. ❤
Aunque odia tomarse fotos, aunque sea callado con los demás, aunque a veces sea despistado, aunque no le de importancia a algunas cosas, aunque tenga defectos al igual que yo, indudablemente sin miramientos ni cuestionamientos lo amo con mis neuronas.
