Hola, soy Gloria Cano, y te doy la bienvenida al episodio 201 de #ParayRespira.¿Te ha pasado que entras a una habitación y olvidas para qué? ¿O que lees una página entera sin recordar lo que acabas de leer?Eso no necesariamente es falta de memoria. Es falta de atención.Anímate a practicar conmigo este ejercicio para fortalecerla… Comencemos…Si quieres puedes cerrar los ojos, o también puedes suavizar o bajar tu mirada para que puedas poner toda tu atención en este momento de pausa, respirando en silencio consciente. Enfoca tu atención en los sonidos de tu entorno, desde los más lejanos hasta los más cercanos… Ahora lleva tu atención a las texturas de la ropa, de la silla, de la mesa, del entorno en el que estás. Toca con tus manos alguna superficie, qué sientes…Observa, siente, presencia, disfruta este momento…¡Terminamos! ¿Cómo te sientes? ¿Qué cambio notaste después de poner atención total a lo simple?Recuerda: Tu cerebro se fortalece con lo que enfocas. La atención es un músculo y cada día puedes entrenarlo.

Hola, soy Gloria Cano, y te doy la bienvenida al episodio 198 de #ParayRespira.Hoy te propongo algo muy simple. Y profundamente transformador: Respira.Pero no de cualquier forma. Hazlo con conciencia. Hazlo con pausa. Hazlo con intención. Anímate a practicar conmigo… Comencemos…Si quieres puedes cerrar los ojos, o también puedes suavizar o bajar tu mirada para que puedas poner toda tu atención en este momento de pausa, respirando en silencio consciente. Vamos a respirar por la nariz. Yo voy a contar, sólo tienes que seguir mi voz.Inhala en 1-2-3-4Retén 1-2Exhala 1-2-3-4-5-6Inhala en 1-2-3-4Retén 1-2Exhala 1-2-3-4-5-6Inhala en 1-2-3-4Retén 1-2Exhala 1-2-3-4-5-6Otro ciclo…Inhala en 1-2-3-4Retén 1-2Exhala 1-2-3-4-5-6Inhala en 1-2-3-4Retén 1-2Exhala 1-2-3-4-5-6Inhala en 1-2-3-4Retén 1-2Exhala 1-2-3-4-5-6¡Terminamos! ¿Cómo te sientes? ¿Qué cambio notaste después de respirar así?No necesitas más que un minuto para resetear tu mente.

Hola, soy Gloria Cano, y te doy la bienvenida al episodio 195 de #ParayRespira.¿Quieres aprender un ejercicio sencillo para ayudarte areorganizar tu cerebro? Vamos practica conmigo esta pausa y luego me cuentas cómote fue con esta práctica.Comencemos…Si quieres puedes cerrar los ojos, o también puedes suavizar o bajar tu mirada para que puedas poner toda tu atención en este momento de pausa, respirando en silencio consciente. Sólo requieres estar tú, tu respiración… y lo que emerja. No intentes meditar, no necesitas lograr nada, sólo haz la pausa y respira.¡Terminamos!  ¿cómo te sientes? ¿qué te apareció cuando hiciste la pausa? Te invito a que tomes nota de lo que surgió con este pequeño ejercicio para reorganizar tu cerebro.Recuerda que, en medio del ruido externo (y del interno), hacer una pausa no es un lujo. Es una estrategia neuroprotectora.Tu cerebro no está hecho para estar siempre encendido. Necesita momentos de "no hacer" para poder integrar, reorganizar y regenerar.De hecho, cuando no estás enfocado en nada específico —cuando dejas que la mente divague en calma— se activa unared cerebral clave: La Red por defecto; la misma que permite conectar recuerdos, generar ideas nuevas y recuperar equilibrio emocional.¡Muchas Gracias por practicar conmigo!Agradecemos también a la Dra. María Olivia Goncalves, Ph.D.Fundadora y CEO del Grupo Sinapsis por compartirnos esta práctica de autocuidado cerebral.Cuéntame, ¿Qué opinas de esta práctica? ¿cómo te pareció este episodio?Música: Silent Flock by Blue Dot Sessions

Claudia Forestieri and Brigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz serve as the creator and showrunner of the Latin-focused comedy series for HBO Max, Gordita Chronicles, making them the first female Latinx showrunner and creator duo. The series is executive produced by Zoe Saldana and Eva Longoria.Inspired by Claudia's own life experience, the show centers around a Latina reporter looking back on her childhood as a chubby, willful and reluctant Dominican immigrant growing up with her eccentric family in 1980s Miami. The lighthearted series addresses themes around immigration, xenophobia, and body positivity and stars newcomer Olivia Goncalves, Diana Maria Riva, and Juan Javier Cardenas.Claudia's previous work for Telemundo earned her five Emmys and a GLAAD Media Award. Brigitte is known for her work on Brooklyn Nine Nine, People of Earth, and Love Life."When you immigrate, it's kind of like you're going through adolescence because you're in a new place. You feel weird in your own skin. You're learning new things. Everything is changing. You feel awkward. So that also helped us connect the adult stories to the children's stories.”Gordita Chronicles on HBO Max IMDB Claudia ForestieriBrigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz

You feel awkward. So that also helped us connect the adult stories to the children's stories.”“To me, America is about coexisting. It's about a million different journeys happening all at once, but really it being the same journey, which is to self-actualization to be seen, to be loved. I know that's not very capitalistic or whatever, but that's what I really see, especially in the immigrant community. It's self-actualization and not just for yourself, but to create that opportunity for your progeny, for your legacy.”"When I think of America, what America is, it's the nation built by immigrants that continues to succeed in large part because of the influx of immigrants to this day. Sometimes I describe the United States as like a club, right? It's a wonderful club, so many people want to be a part of it, and you need new members. And immigrants are like the new members that are kind of like the born again Americans that come here, and they're the ones that believe in America the most because everything is new to them, and they've sacrificed so much to be here. So something that I wish people could garner from this series is the fact that immigrants built this nation, and we continue co-creating this nation with those who aren't immigrants, as well."Claudia Forestieri and Brigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz serve as the creator and showrunner of the Latin-focused comedy series for HBO Max, Gordita Chronicles, making them the first female Latinx showrunner and creator duo.

They're the things that help us grow. Adversity is a thing that helps us grow, and yes, adversity can be struggle, but it can also be educational. It can also be victorious. It can also lead you towards bigger and better things, if you accept the challenge. And I think that's such a huge part of both immigration and adolescence, and our family meets adversity with a smile, which is how I think both Claudia and I live our lives. And we try to pass that message on because that's something that's inevitable. In any life, there's adversity, and when you've got optimism on your side, when you have a positive outlook, when you keep trying and don't let people get to you, that's what ends up letting you push past and getting you towards your goals and your dreams.”"When I think of America, what America is, it's the nation built by immigrants that continues to succeed in large part because of the influx of immigrants to this day.

I feared looking anything less than always intelligent and on top of things because just being a woman of color, I just felt like it took me so long to get to this level, but watching Brigitte, I'm learning so much about comedy because that's one of her many, many strengths, all the years that she's had in comedy rooms that she's brought to this show."Gordita Chronicles on HBO Max IMDB Claudia ForestieriBrigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz

"There were three different music palettes that we wanted to draw from. The first being the eighties. What were the songs that were contemporary at the time? Because music really creates a whole vibe, as the kids say. And we combined that with Latinx music of the time, and the fusion of the two. We worked with a wonderful composer named Joachim Horseley who is a Latin music specialist who worked with us to create the score that combined all those elements... and [collaboration] from a music supervisor can change the feeling of the whole scene.
