Why did you choose your partner?. I suppose you might think: well, because I really liked them, because we had the same life goals, because we were very attracted to each other... well, there's something more than that. What lies behind attraction and falling in love?. The answer could be found in biological decoding. The first thing we must know is that our romantic relationships are influenced by the transgenerational mandates of our families. Many times, we seek what we know, what is imprinted in our DNA. Do phrases like "all men/women are the same," "I never have luck in love," or "I always end up with the same idiot" sound familiar to you?. Those beliefs and family patterns influence how we choose our partners. And now comes the important part. Furthermore, in a romantic relationship, two family systems come together. In our cells, there is information from at least four generations. Watch out, things can get messy there. Your parents learned from your grandparents, and all the unfinished stories are always repeated for healing. That's why we often find ourselves repeating patterns from our ancestors without even realizing it. What a mess!. A typical example of this can be seen in the movie Coco, where the great-great-grandmother is deeply in love, they have a daughter, and the father leaves to work with his guitar and never returns. Well, he doesn't return because he actually dies. What happens there?. A belief is established that men hurt women, men always leave, they are a source of pain, men will leave you hanging. And the mother, the grandmother, and the whole family system that is present at that moment will take care of transmitting that message, directly or indirectly, that "men are dangerous." That's the message that is transmitted to Miguelito in the movie. Additionally, the movie shows how transgenerational influences also affect one's profession. Everyone has to make shoes because making music is dangerous. As if one thing wasn't enough, there's another. If there has been a history in your family of men abandoning women, you may be afraid of committing to a relationship because, unconsciously, you believe that men always leave. If there has been a pattern in your family where one member cancels themselves out and assumes the role of caregiver for the other, it is likely that you tend to assume the same role in your romantic relationship. And there are many other examples like these. It is important to be aware of these family patterns and mandates in order to choose from a more free and conscious perspective. Biological decoding helps us identify and heal these unconscious patterns, so we can make healthier decisions in our relationships. Let's remember that a romantic relationship is about two people, 50% and 50%. This is not a competition of "who has the heaviest suitcase." No, no, the responsibility here is shared, like in those group projects at school where one person always ended up doing all the work. Ah, what nostalgia! In this decoding adventure, we must remember that communication is key, but not just any communication. It's not about sending encrypted messages or miming to express what we feel. No, no! That's not fair!. We can't play "guess what I want" because nobody has superpowers (unless they have a cape hidden in the closet, in which case, congratulations!). We have to speak clearly and directly. If we want a healthy relationship, we must share our thoughts, emotions, and even our bad jokes. In conclusion, love doesn't have to be an indecipherable mystery. As we heal the wounds of the past and take control of our choice of partner, we can write our own romantic comedy, filled with laughter, complicity, and true love. So let's hit the dance floor and dance to the rhythm of biological decoding towards healthier and more fun relationships!.

Turns out that our postures not only affect our mind, but they also have a direct impact on our cognitive processes. Hello friends!. Today I want to delve into one of my favorite topics: neuroscience. But wait, don't fall asleep just yet!. I promise this won't be a boring scientific post. In this case, I want to talk about how neuroscience is rediscovering that the body constantly interacts with our brain. How so?. Well, let's first talk about postures. Did you know that the way you sit or stand can influence your mind and how you feel?. You might have thought it's the other way around, that your mood and thoughts affect your posture. If you're sad, you hunch over and your face reflects total drama, right?. In other words, your body becomes a canvas of your mood. But here's the curious twist that neuroscience is revealing to us: the influence is not just one-way, it's two-way!. It turns out that how your body is positioned can influence yourself. Yes, your body has the power to tell your brain how to feel. That's fascinating!. It turns out that our postures not only affect our mind, but they also have a direct impact on our cognitive processes. Studies conducted at the University of Germany and in the USA have shown that when we adopt hunched, submissive, or sad postures, our attention and memory processes are affected. It turns out that our brain interprets these postures as signals that something is wrong, that we are not in our best state of health. So, what does our brain do?. It decides to distract itself and forget! But that's not all!. It turns out that simply adopting a hunched posture activates a negative bias in our mind. In other words, among all the things happening around us, our brain focuses more on the negative than the positive. It's as if we are programmed to see the dark side of life!. Now, what happens when we adopt an upright and powerful posture? Well, here comes the hormonal drama. By stretching ourselves, our cortisol levels, that stress hormone, rise. Oops! But wait, there's good news too. This posture has a positive effect on our endocrine system, increasing testosterone levels, the hormone that gives us that boost of confidence and power. It's as if we're pumping adrenaline and telling the world, "Here I am, ready to conquer!". If there's one thing the brain really likes, it's smiling. It turns out that smiling has astonishing benefits for our nervous, cardiovascular, immune, and endocrine systems. It's like a party for the whole body!. The magic of a smile is that it works even if there's no specific reason to do it. When we smile, our brain interprets that signal as a message that things aren't as difficult as we might think. A smile has the power to pacify our emotional state and our mood. It's like a balm for stress and apathy. It turns out that our body on the inside also has a lot to say to our brain. One of the major findings of recent neuroscience is what's known as the gut-brain axis. A few years ago, the prestigious journal Science published an article revealing the constant communication between our gut and our brain. It turns out that our gut is home to a surprising number of little bugs, about two kilograms of them, which make up what is known as the microbiota. These tiny beings have a direct impact on our nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Who would have imagined that our belly was full of an entire ecosystem influencing us!. When it comes to the interaction between the gut and neuronal activity, the behavior of these bugs regulates the biochemical activity of our brain. It is said that our gut is one of the main regulators of our mood. The brain areas most influenced by the gut are those related to our social skills, how we communicate with others, and how we perceive and interpret the world around us. That makes a lot of sense!. When I'm hungry, my sociability goes out the window, and I can become quite grumpy. With an empty stomach, everything seems worse, and patience runs out faster. And let's not forget something that the wise ones knew 2,000 years ago: breathing has incredible power over our brain! Science is rediscovering this ancient wisdom and confirms that conscious breathing can shape our mental states. So, when you need to emotionally balance yourself, take a moment to breathe deeply. In summary, friends, smile so much that the neighbors think you've won the lottery, take care of your gut bugs, and breathe consciously. Your brain will thank you immensely! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to do a pilates session with a radiant smile while my gut and brain engage in a fascinating conversation. Until the next neuroscientific adventure! 🧠😄🌟

For Tarantino, presenting powerful women makes sense. For him, putting women fighting or leading, it's noticeable that he understands it's something natural. In Quentin, women have always had a great ally; he hasn't needed anyone to tell him in any interview what types of roles women should play. He hasn't needed to because he has already shown us in those roles. When I started high school, in a class of my favorite subject, technical drawing, the teacher talked to us about a movie that had just been released. He spoke about it for half the class, so enthusiastic that he proposed that we go see it together. Victorino, as he was called, was a great teacher of those who get involved and feel passionate about what they do. Finally, only about eight students signed up for the experience, which turned out to be incredible. That day, thanks to this teacher, I discovered cinema. I had seen movies before, but never anything like this. It impacted me so much that I returned days later alone to see it again. The movie in question was Pulp Fiction, it blew my mind. The aesthetics, the music, the car cleaning scene, Jules' faith, the heroin overdose after the dance, or Mr. Wolf who every time he appeared gave you a leadership lesson. Everything was amazing. I clearly remember leaving the cinema and feeling that there was a world completely alien to everything I had experienced before. Thanks to cinema, I could fly to other worlds and realities. From that moment on, which I will always be grateful to Professor Victorino for, I got a membership to the neighborhood video store and started going to the cinema weekly. I'm not exaggerating if I tell you that on more than one occasion, I saw three movies in one afternoon. I would come out of one and head to the box office to see if I could make it to another session. There was nothing I enjoyed more in life than watching movies, to be honest. After Pulp Fiction, I discovered Reservoir Dogs at the video store, and since then, Quentin Tarantino became one of my favorite people on the planet. He is undoubtedly one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. His ability to direct actors and his attention to detail are legendary in the industry. Before making a movie, Tarantino immerses himself in each actor's resume and knows exactly what he wants each one of them for in his movie. Moreover, one of the things that sets him apart is his ability to bring out the best in each actor and take them to unexpected places, reinventing their careers masterfully. Everything, from the costumes to every detail, is very thought out in Tarantino's movies. Did you know that he advertises his own products in the movies? He's a marketing genius! The Big Hanuka burger or the Red Apple cigarettes that appear in several of his movies... they don't exist as a brand. There are many things that make Quentin Tarantino's movies unique, from the intensity of the scenes to the way he uses music to create a unique atmosphere. But perhaps, for me, one of the most interesting aspects of his movies is that he manages to make cool female characters. He is unique with female characters. For Tarantino, presenting powerful women makes sense. For him, putting women fighting or being leaders, it's natural. In Quentin, women have always had a great ally, it hasn't been necessary for anyone to tell him in any interview that women should play certain types of roles. It hasn't been necessary because he has already shown us those roles. A while back, I heard in an interview that Tarantino commented that when they were about to start filming Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman told him that she had had several bad experiences in her last movies and that after filming Pulp Fiction, she would probably make one more movie to buy an apartment and retire to do something else. He couldn't believe that she wasn't having fun anymore making movies, as he was having a blast. He felt that it was as important for him to make a good movie as it was for Uma Thurman to have a good experience on the set of hers. He thought it was a shame that she didn't have a good experience and made sure that it did happen. During filming, Uma suddenly made comments like, "You know Quentin? I think I'm going to forget about being an actress, but if you call me for another movie, I'll come back." One night after filming, they went out for a drink and Quentin told Uma that he was thinking of making another movie that he thought she was perfect for the role of a female assassin in a revenge story. The woman would be the most lethal in the world and would seek to kill everyone who has hurt her. Quentin already had an idea of how he wanted to start the movie, with the woman lying there beaten and bruised, having lost her entire family while people look down on her. That's when Uma had an idea: that she would appear with her entire face covered in blood, the camera would pan out, and there you would realize that she was dressed in a wedding gown. And that's how "The Bride" character in Kill Bill was born. Additionally, Uma's portrayal of Mia Wallace, the gangster's wife, in Pulp Fiction earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. (A few years ago, I was about to quit my acting career because of some bad experiences. Fortunately, I decided to stay and do everything possible to not let anyone make my life bitter. Now, I always carry with me a water gun filled with glitter to spray anyone who tries to bring me down. Yes, that's right! I make them shine!) What I love the most about Tarantino's movies is that the most important thing is not always what's happening on the surface, but what's underneath. With his innovative use of dialogue, he takes us through seemingly simple conversations that actually explore deep and complex themes. His attention to detail and the way he presents his characters through language and interactions make his films both exciting and nerve-wracking. To me, Tarantino is a romantic who takes us to worlds that are dark and dangerous, but also full of beauty and emotion. His ability to create complex characters and intense situations is a true masterpiece of contemporary cinema. Personally, I believe that Tarantino would have to live 150 or 200 years in order to have enough time to do everything he wants. Furthermore, it would be a dream come true for me to be able to shoot a movie with him. So I hope he has found the fountain of eternal youth or has a secret plan to clone himself, because I need more of his creativity and brilliance in my life.

Superwomen are paying for their professional, social, and empowerment success in all areas of life with emotional loneliness. Recently, I discovered the renowned psychologist and sexologist Antonio Bolinches. I find him charming and very wise. I was particularly drawn to the thesis he defends in his book "The Superwomen Syndrome." According to his theory, the superwomen syndrome is a consequence of the power that women have acquired. We have become so empowered that it is increasingly difficult for us to find suitable men. The profile of these women is 40 years old, attractive, intelligent, self-realized, with university education, and a good economic and professional position. And due to their excellence, they have difficulty finding suitable men. This is because we are in a crisis of total love confusion. Women are disappointed because men are disoriented. And men are disoriented because they have to assimilate the leap that women have made in just three generations. We have gone from the sexist model of dominant men and subordinate women to an egalitarian model in which we naturally want to enrich ourselves. Another thing to consider is that we have different expectations regarding our partners. Antonio Bolinches explains that for a man, being comfortable is sufficient, but a woman not only needs comfort but also needs to feel alive in the relationship. She needs the relationship to contribute and enrich her life, and the company to be worthwhile. Another gender difference is that a man prefers to be admired rather than the admirer. Thus, we need men to make an effort at self-criticism, but don't get your hopes up; according to experts, that will take two or three generations. Great! We just have to wait a few centuries. So, the more evolved women pay the price of their personal evolution in emotional solitude. Why? Precisely because the more mature and values-driven a woman is, the more she naturally wants a man with a reciprocal profile. But, of course, women have risen so high on the scale of perfection that we increasingly have a smaller number of men to choose from because men are still disoriented. Men come from a model that benefited them: dominant men and subordinate women. This has changed in just 50 years, but the sexist model has lasted for 100,000 years. Fortunately, the vast majority of men accept that the relationship must be symmetrical, but they accept it rationally; culturally, they are not yet prepared. We could say in defense of men that leaving a privileged situation, even an unfair one, is difficult. Men rationally understand that the relationship must be symmetrical, but out of social inertia and relationship management convenience, if the woman still accepts being the administrator of well-being at home, the man does not argue too much about doing the dishes. Therefore, the man who evolves and matures has more women who fall in love with him. And the woman who evolves and matures has fewer men, for two reasons: firstly, because those who would correspond to her in terms of profile prefer more comfortable relationships, and therefore the sample is smaller, and secondly, because they themselves obviously do not want an asymmetrical relationship with a man whom they do not find even minimally admirable. So, with this overwhelming panorama, what can women do? The best way to manage this reality is always to accept it, know that the sample of suitable men is small, prioritize your personal development project, and go calmly through life. In fact, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's ideal of love coincides perfectly with this attitude of emotional autonomy of self-realized superwomen. Antoine said, "Love is not about going towards each other but walking together in the same direction." The best thing is to go calmly through life, not be reactive, not punish men, accept reality and constructively use your intelligence. Constructive intelligence is very important for both men and women because a man who makes women feel

The heart has neurons that connect directly to the brain. I try to seek answers to questions that really interest me, such as how does the brain work? What do we have inside our heads? Neuroscience provides many answers to this. What I find very curious is that most of what is known about the brain has only been discovered in the last ten or twenty years. The big discoveries, the major experiments, are happening now. I don't know about you, but I find the topic mind-blowing because understanding the brain is to have knowledge about myself. I try to understand myself, I try to comprehend what I am. The latest thing I have found out is fascinating. It seems that the idea that we only think with our brains and that the heart only pumps blood is not entirely true. The heart has neurons that connect directly to the brain. In 1991, the neurocardiologist J. Andrew Armour demonstrated that the heart literally has a mind of its own. There is a neural network in the heart that is exactly the same as that of the brain. In other words, there are neurons in the heart that are independent of the brain and can think for themselves. Your heart creates thoughts, creates intelligence. Moreover, there is a greater amount of information that passes from the heart to the brain than from the brain to the heart. What do you think about that? And we, meanwhile, are creating a society obsessed with the brain... then we go through life without knowing what we want. How many times have you been told to make decisions with your heart? What does the heart have to do with making a decision or with intuition, which is what we sometimes need to make decisions? Well, it seems like a lot. There is a study from the University of Cambridge that revolutionized the idea of making decisions with the heart and opened up a huge path in research on decision-making. In this study, some people were asked to participate in a game in which they had to make decisions based on simulated situations on a computer, and there were always two options between which they had to decide. One of them would have a positive or favorable outcome, and the other would have an unfavorable outcome. While they played the game, their heartbeats were monitored to see how the heart reacted just before making a decision. And what the researchers found is that before making a decision that would have a favorable outcome, the heart beat in a specific way, but when they were about to make a decision that would have a negative outcome, it beat in a completely different way. That is, the heart knew before the brain was consciously aware whether the decision was good or not. That's amazing! The idea of organs, particularly the heart, storing memories and being able to transfer them through transplants is truly mind-blowing. There are many incredible stories of people who experience significant changes in their tastes, fears, diets, personalities, and even acquire new skills after receiving a heart transplant. There are hundreds of such cases, some of which are truly remarkable, like the story of a girl who receives a heart transplant from another girl who was murdered. After the transplant, the girl begins to have very precise nightmares about a man who kills her and tells her a specific phrase before murdering her. She remembers all the details so precisely that she helps the police to identify the killer with her description and eventually they catch him. It's a touching and inspiring story worthy of a movie script. I would like to end by reminding us that it is important to pay attention to our hearts, but let's do it physically, intentionally, when giving a hug, looking into someone's eyes, or overcoming a difficult situation. Let's listen to our hearts.
