한 달 전에 고양이를 입양했다. 고양이가 아키라라고 한다.
아키라는 과거에 힘든 시간이 보내서 처음으로 집에 도착했을 때 너무 무서워했다.
아키라가 도둑고양이였고 임신했을 때 누군가가 총격을 가핬으니까 다치게 했다.
아키라는 살아남았는데 새끼 고양이는 죽였다.
총격을 맞아서 새끼 죽은 후에 아키라가 다른 고양이들이랑 집에 살고 있었다.
그 집에 새끼 고양이가 많아서 아키라가 임신했으니까 그 새끼를 키웠다.
10월에 내 동생은 나한테 아키라를 키운 사람을 소개했다.
그 사람이 동물을 많이 사랑할 뿐만 아니라 수의사이라서 그 사람 덕분에 아키라 건강해졌다.
집에 온 첫날에 아키라가 하루종일 애완동물 캐리어 안에 있었다.
그 첫밤에 집으로 둘러봤고 소파 밑에서 숨었다.
전전히 아키라는 나를 믿게 됐다.
요즘에 사랑스러운 데다가 항상 내 옆에서 자고 있는다.

Does stress change with age?
Nowadays, stress is perceived as something negative, nevertheless there are two types of stress: eustress which can be positive, because helps us to grow up, to go out from our comfort zone and take some risks, and distress, the negative one which causes anger or anxiety.
Stress is a natural reaction to a danger situation and it’s related with survival instinct, even though we don’t need to be alarmed constantly our bodies keep reaction as we were in risk.
There is a scientific study about the relation between stress and age, and the results are very clear: on one hand, the response of our bodies knows as stress, decreases with the age. On the other hand, being exposed to stress at an early age helps biological aging.
As a curiosity, it seems that the most stressed generation currently are the one known as millennial, people between 18 and 35 years old, they suffer more depression and anxiety than the generation of their parents. They are more stressed because of work, money and personal relationships than another area.
Is this generation going to be older biologically than their ancestors? Are the next generations going to change this inclination?

Mens sana in corpore sano
Although, the original meaning of this sentence is not the meaning given by us nowadays, I have always thought this sentence represents a perfect combination of the dualism inherent to our existence and a great way to love ourselves.
In our days, we live in extremely sedentary societies. Obesity and inactivity rates have increased exponentially during the last decades. Also, the quality of our nutrition is inadequate.
The relation between exercise and a good mental health has been proved by different studies. When we exercise, our body segregates various kind of hormones like serotonin, dopamine and endorphin that are related with pleasure and joy.
Besides these wonderful feelings, exercising helps to maintain a good physical form which is important for self-esteem. And, it is a good way to avoid or to combat the stress -specially distress.
Summing up, doing exercise is an important way to achieve a good mental health.
My recommendation for all of us is to spend at least 30 minutes every day moving our bodies. Each one of us must to find out what it works for them: running, walking, lifting weights or dancing, but moving!
