Passage 1: English into Spanish

Title: “3 minutes of movement to refresh your mind”
When you’re wiped out, getting up and moving might sound like a real drag. But the less active we are during the day, the more fatigued we feel. Today’s challenge is a playful, slightly silly three-minute exercise. Why is this a crucial part of an energy challenge? Because short bursts of movement can help reduce fatigue, relieve stress and improve your mood. As soon as you start, your heart rate goes up, increasing the supply of oxygen to your muscles and brain, said Margaret Rice, a professor of neurosurgery, neuroscience and physiology at the N.Y.U. Grossman School of Medicine.

Passage 2: Spanish into English

Titulo: “Ser positivo: 3 formas de ver el vaso medio lleno”
Primero de todo, ¿qué es ser positivo? Según el diccionario de la Real Academia Española, es aquella persona optimista inclinada a ver el aspecto favorable de las cosas. Una definición sencilla, ¿verdad? Pero realmente, las consecuencias de tener este tipo de actitud ante la vida son más profundas de lo que podemos creer. No hablamos de verlo todo color de rosa o de ser ingenuo ante la realidad y pensar que todo es bueno a nuestro alrededor, sino de darle más peso y valor a lo positivo a la hora de ver el mundo, siendo consciente de que existen las partes oscuras.
