CNBC: lo que las personas más sanas y felices nunca hacen, según una doctora de 102 años

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:27:06 GMT

Este año cumplí 102 años y mis décadas de experiencia en medicina holística me han enseñado mucho sobre cómo vivir una vida larga, feliz y con propósito.Demasiadas personas se alimentan de estrés innecesario. Pero las personas más felices y saludables que conozco son capaces de dejar de lado cosas o experiencias que ya no les sirven. La vida es demasiado corta para reflexionar y considerar el mismo pensamiento una y otra vez. Al hacerlo, básicamente te estás torturando a ti mismo.Entonces, el hábito que me ha traído salud y felicidad a lo largo de mis años es la capacidad de construir cosas nuevas, ya sea una relación, una carrera o un proyecto.DEJA IR LAS COSAS QUE AGOTAN TU ENERGÍA MENTALMi mamá me enseñó una manera fácil de liberar cosas que no importan. Levantaba la mano suavemente frente a nosotros, con los dedos sueltos y la palma hacia arriba. Luego bájelo hacia abajo y hacia atrás y diga: “No importa”.Este movimiento natural le permitió vivir inmensos desafíos si...

(CNN) — Un guardia de seguridad que compartía risas con los empleados del centro comercial y una ingeniera que pasaba la tarde de compras con sus amigos están entre las ocho víctimas del tiroteo en Allen Premium Outlets, en Texas.Al menos otras siete personas resultaron heridas antes de que el atacante fuera abatido por un policía de Allen que ya se encontraba en el centro comercial y que fue contactado a través de una llamada no relacionada, según informó la policía.Se trata de uno de los más de 200 tiroteos masivos ocurridos en Estados Unidos en lo que va de año, según el Gun Violence Archive, que, al igual que CNN, define un tiroteo masivo como aquel en el que cuatro o más personas resultan heridas de bala, sin incluir al atacante.

Regional Gaps in Auto Insurance Prices “Not Equitable or Fair,” Lawmaker Says

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:27:06 GMT

Some state lawmakers are looking to change how heavily a resident’s ZIP code weighs in determining the cost of their auto insurance, claiming that people of color in low-income and urban areas pay higher rates. But insurance companies say the move would take away one of the only tools left for them to determine rates, and could raise insurance payments for all.“Right now in Massachusetts, residents living in urban and diverse communities are being forced to pay substantially more than their suburban counterparts for auto insurance,” said Sen. Pavel Payano, who filed a bill (S 703) that would change the rating formula to give no more than 75 percent weight to a person’s local area and 25 percent weight to a statewide average, aimed at tempering the rates in urban areas.Payano based the formula off of Connecticut’s insurance rating territory policy. A 2006 report from the Connecticut Legislature’s research office said “the less weigh...

Celtics’ Joe Mazzulla admits he made mistake not calling timeout on final play of Game 4 loss

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:27:06 GMT

Joe Mazzulla has trusted and empowered his players all season to make plays in late-game situations on the fly instead of calling a timeout. But with the benefit of hindsight, he would have changed his approach for the final play of overtime that cost the Celtics in their Game 4 loss to the 76ers.The Celtics trailed by one with the ball and 18 seconds to go in overtime on Sunday. Mazzulla didn’t call a timeout, and the C’s ultimately didn’t even get a shot off because they were too slow in their actions. Jayson Tatum found Marcus Smart for a 3-pointer that went in, but he released it after the buzzer.A day later, Mazzulla explained his thinking on the play before admitting he should have called a timeout.“It’s something we’ve talked about all year. I trust our guys to make the right play,” Mazzulla said Monday. “Prevented a team from getting matchups off the floor, prevented a team from getting their defense organized. Hindsight is always 20/20, so it sounds good to say, ‘Yes, we sh...
