  Psicología 101: Tu cerebro detiene su crecimiento biológico alrededor de los 30 años de edad. Una buena noticia: tu cerebro continúa poseyendo plasticidad y flexibilidad para aprender durante TODA tu vida física… **Por Hector Williams Zorrilla Enero 17, 2022 Seguro que tú has leído u oído el dicho de que, “los perros viejos no aprenden nuevos trucos …” Con respecto a los seres humanos, las investigaciones y los estudios de las neurociencias NO apoyan ese dicho o refrán, y por el contrario, se considera un mito que hay que evitarlo. Es una verdad científica que el cerebro humano detiene su crecimiento fisiológico y biológico per se alrededor de los 30 años de edad cronológica. Y además, que muchas de las células cerebrales llamadas neuronas que mueren no se renovan, pero ese NO es fin de la historia del órgano donde realmente reside la vida humana: el cerebro. Tu cerebro adulta contiene entre 85 y 100 millones de células denominadas neuronas. Este órgano del cuerpo es en realidad una

  Psychology 101: Your brain stops its biological growth around the age of 30. Good news: your brain continues to possess plasticity and flexibility to learn throughout your physical life… **By Hector Williams Zorrilla January 17, 2022 Surely you have read or heard the saying that, “old dogs don't learn new tricks…” With respect to human beings, neuroscience research and studies do NOT support that saying or proverb, and on the contrary, it is considered a myth to be avoided. It is a scientific truth that the human brain stops its physiological and biological growth per se around 30 years of chronological age. And also, that many of the brain cells called neurons that die are not renewed, but that is NOT the end of the story of the organ where human life really resides: the brain. Your adult brain contains between 85 and 100 million cells called neurons. This body organ is actually a miraculous and amazing wonder. These neurons are connected and intertwined by billions of neural co

  Psychology 101: You have to understand this scientific and divine truth - "it's all in your brain". That is to say, ALL your beliefs, your thoughts, your emotions, your perceptions and your behaviors, ORIGINATE, emanate and PROCEED from your brain... January 15, 2022 **By Hector Williams Zorrilla Some people say "that's just in your mind" when they want to disparage and diminish  other people's ideas and behaviors. But you, more intelligent and wiser than those people, know and are aware of the following scientific and divine truth: “EVERYTHING is in your mind”, that is, in your brain. All your beliefs that motivate you to live and act in specific ways towards people, events, situations, institutions, ideas, originate, store, form and come from your brain. You were born a baby with a "clean slate", that is, with an empty brain, a "blank page", without specific content, without beliefs of any kind, and little by little, that "bl

  Psicología 101: Tú tienes que entender esta verdad científica y divina - “todo está en tu cerebro”. Es decir, TODAS tus creencias, tus pensamientos, tus emociones, tus percepciones y tus conductas, se ORIGINAN, emanan y PROCEDEN de tu cerebro… Enero 15, 2022 **Por Hector Williams Zorrilla Algunas personas dicen “eso solo está en tu mente” cuando desean desprestigiar y restarle valor a las ideas y conductas de otras personas. Pero tú, más inteligente y sabio que esas personas, sabes y estás consciente de la siguiente verdad científica y divina: “TODO está en tu mente”, es decir, en tu cerebro. Todas tus creencias que te motivan a vivir y actuar de maneras específicas hacia personas, hechos, situaciones, instituciones, ideas, se originan, almacenan, forman y proceden de tu cerebro.  Tú naciste un/a bebé con una “tábula rasa”, es decir, con un cerebro vacío, una “página en blanco”, sin contenidos específicos, sin creencias de ninguna índole, y poco a poco, esa “página en blanco” de tu c

 Psychology 101: “Everything that irritates us (causes us psycho-emotional discomfort and displeases us) about others, leads us to an understanding of ourselves…” (Dr Carl Jung) January 16, 2022 **By Hector Williams Zorrilla This biological fact is amazing and miraculous: The globe has almost 8 BILLION human beings inhabiting planet earth right now. With some exceptions, each human being genetically possesses 23 chromosomes from the father and 23 chromosomes from the mother, which is the material that provides the genetic codes of the human species, and it is also the one that supplies the genogram or famiogram of the biological lines of the families. Here it is where the amazing and miraculous biological fact of this bio-chemical equation that defines the "so-called human race" resides: Each human being has a unique and unrepeatable biological and genetic code, symbolized in his DNA. Each human being has his/her own, unique and personal fingerprints. But on the other hand, f

  Psicología 101: “Todo lo que nos irrita (nos provoca malestar psico-emocional y nos disgusta) de otros, nos lleva a un entendimiento de nosotros mismos …”  (Dr. Carl Jung) Enero 16, 2022 **Por Hector Williams Zorrilla Este dato biológico es asombroso y milagroso: El globo terráqueo tiene casi 8 BILLONES de seres humanos habitando el planeta tierra en estos momentos. Con algunas excepciones, cada ser humano posee genéticamente 23 cromosomas del padre y 23 cromosomas de la madre, que es el material que provea los códigos genéticos de la especie humana, y además, es el que suple el genograma o famiograma de las líneas biológicas de las familias. Y aquí está el dato biológico asombroso y milagroso de esta ecuación bio-química que define a la “denominada raza humana”: Cada ser humano posee un código biológico y genético único e irrepetible, simbolizado en su ADN. Cada ser humano tiene unas huellas dactilares propias, únicas y personales. Pero por otro lado, desde el punto de vista psico-e

 Psychology 101: Life is beautiful and deserves to be lived to the fullest - a positive mental attitude (PMA) increases the degrees of happiness- January 6, 2022 ** By Hector Williams Zorrilla We now know that both positive mental attitude (PMA) and negative mental attitude (NMA) affect the human brain. And that in fact, both attitudes have the power to generate and produce types of connecting hormones that affect the entire human organism. For example, negative mental attitude creates and increases stress-producing hormones in the body. And it is also known that these hormones negatively affect not only the brain, but also other vital organs of the human body, such as the heart. And still something else: people with a persistent and long-lasting negative mental attitude are extremely bored, unhappy, find it difficult to establish healthy connections and relationships, get sicker, and even live less long, that is, they last fewer years of physical life. On the other hand, people with a

  Psicología 101: La vida es bella y merece vivirse a plenitud -la actitud mental positiva (AMP) incrementa los grados de felicidad- Enero 6, 2022 **Por Hector Williams Zorrilla Ahora sabemos que ambas, la actitud mental positiva (AMP) y la actitud mental negativa (AMN) afectan el cerebro humano. Y que de hecho, ambas actitudes poseen el poder de generar y producer tipos de hormonas conectoras que afectan todo el organismo humano. Por ejemplo, la actitud mental negativa crea y aumenta las hormonas productoras de estrés en el cuerpo. Y se sabe además, que estas hormonas afectan negativamente no solo el cerebro, sino también otros órganos vitales del cuerpo humano, como lo es el corazón.  Y todavía algo más: las personas con una actitud mental negativa persistente y duradera en el tiempo son extremadamente aburridas, infelices, les resulta difícil establecer conexiones y relaciones saludables, se enferman más, y hasta son menos longevas, es decir, duran menos años de vida física. Por otr

  Series: My goals for the new year Goal # 2: Change my negative habits for more positive ones - psychology 101 - January 6, 2022—————————————————— Psychology 101: The Human Brain and Habits - Human Beings are Creatures of Habits - ** By Hector Williams Zorrilla Let's say first, that habits are not mere "acts" or customs that we perform spontaneously and automatically and without thinking. They are behaviors that originate those behaviors mentioned and something else ... But although habits are expressed automatically and spontaneously, they have psycho-emotional, social and cultural contents that are more complex and profound than their mere behavioral expression. A learned habit has psychological or mental content, which is expressed in our predominant ideas and thoughts in everyday life. They have emotional or affective content, which is expressed in our emotions and feelings. Habits also have behavioral or conduct  content, which is expressed in the behaviors we exhib

Ellos son conductas que originan esos comportamientos mencionados y algo más … Pero aunque los hábitos se expresan de forma automática y espontánea, ellos poseen contenidos psico-emocionales, sociales y culturales más complejos y profundos que su mera expresión conductual. Un hábito aprendido posee contenidos psicológicos o mentales, que se expresan en nuestras ideas y pensamientos predominantes. Ellos poseen contenidos emocionales o de los afectos, que se expresan en nuestras emociones y sentimientos. Los hábitos tienen también contenidos comportamentales o de la conducta y

  January 5, 2022 Psychology 101: Your life goes where your thoughts, your emotions and your most predominant behaviors go - "The river never goes the other way ..." ** By Hector Williams Zorrilla Physiologically you are what you eat, because all the nutrients and energies that your body needs and consumes are acquired from the food you eat. And the blood distributes those nutrients along with oxygen to all the organs of your body, including your brain. But in terms of the personal psychology that makes you who you are, the parts of that personal psychology are determined by the following fundamental components that are the intrinsic essence of your personality. First, you are what you think consistently. The essence of all your predominant thoughts are transformed into your everyday reality. The essence of your most constant and repeated thoughts are the facts of your daily living. In a more clear and simple way, you create your daily realities with the essence of the most p

  Series: My goals for the year 2022 ** By Hector Williams Zorrilla Goal # 1: seek and pursue for my daily living lasting rewards vs. temporary desires and pleasures Temporary pleasures and desires create cravings in areas of the brain that are transmitted throughout the body. These cravings installed in the human body can never be fully satisfied because they cause and develop addictions. Once people become addicted, their cravings take control and direction of their desires, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with the purpose and goal of increasing pleasure and avoiding pain. Therefore, a person cannot fulfill his most longed for goals in life by following the paths of temporary cravings, desires, and pleasures. The pleasure of cravings can never be fully satisfied, because by nature it becomes addictive. And once addictions take over, the pursuit of pleasure and desire becomes the only goal the addictive people want to achieve. The search for lasting rewards takes a different path. L
