About Me

My name is Cristina and I dare to dream big.

I was born in Spain in a nice family. I was a curious child and loved writing from an early age, so both things combined gave me the perfect excuse to study Journalism. I did so in different countries, like Spain, Denmark and the United Kingdom (by the way that is how I came to speak English as a second language, so I hope you'll forgive me for the possible grammar mistakes and please let me know about them!).

I believe that we every person has their own 'tailor-made' challenges. In my case, I've had to deal with emotional challenges: feeling isolated, lonely, and detached despite my huge desire for connection with people, to the point of letting other areas or my life fall behind due to my feelings. I always knew that I could feel and do much better, but I didn't know how to get there.

During the autumn of 2005 I came across a thin, fun-to-read book that turned out to be an open door to new paths. The book was Joe Vitale's "Life's missing instruction manual".

I read and took notes from the book with curiosity and amazement. Many of the ideas made sense. Others appeared silly but I tried them anyway. Very excited, I shared my findings with a good friend in Seville during a holiday on April 2006.

I had played around with some of Joe Vitale's ideas to 'manifest' a certain event during that holiday - and oh boy, was I pleasantly surprised when the event actually ocurred, even much more magically than I had imagined!

I then started to read every book on positive thinking and self development that I could get hold of, try every technique and tip, and explore a broad range of subjects like Zen, Taoism, meditation, yoga, Reiki, or crystals, to name a few. I had the purpose of understanding what was creating my negative feelings and how I could make myself feel better.

As I progressed through my own personal development and felt better using certain techniques and tips, I shared my findings with people close to me, who also found those tips helpful for their own lives.

At the same time, I came across SBI.

SBI stands for Site Build It!, and it's what's making possible that you're reading this page now. SBI is an integrated system to help you build a web site on a topic of your choice and bring in some extra money with it. The ads and the products I promote on this site (personally tested, by the way) bring me some cash that pays for the maintenance of the site.

I wouldn't have been able to build a web site had not been for SBI. I mean, English is not my first language, and I had no idea of how to create a web site, let alone how to make money with it. Besides, I would have never dreamed of being able to meet great people from all over the world (like my dear Susan in the US, or all the readers who get in touch). All of that is possible with SBI.

What strikes me the most with SBI though is that it helps you turn a hobby, a skill or a passion into a profitable web site. Yes, that's right - you could potentially create a web site about the ins and outs of, say, snorkeling, and earn money with it. Thanks to that SBI has changed the lives of many people for the better: check out these videos from successful SBI web site owners!

You too can turn your knowledge into income - if I have done it, you can do it too. SBI makes it easy to understand how a web site works and gives you all the tools you need - from ideas to create content to resources for earning money through the site, to a program to exchange links with other web sites, or extended and friendly forums where you can find all the information and help you need from fellow SBI web site owners.

Now, how cool would it be to earn money by writing about what you like and know? SBI shows you step by step exactly how to do it. Curious? Check the Video Tour or the Quick Tour to have an idea of how it works.

Do you have any questions about SBI? You can actually ask an SBI owner or user through this page.

I wish that you enjoy reading The Benefits Of Positive Thinking and that you go away today having found something in it that will help you live a more fulfilling life. Infinite possibilites open up in our lives when we discover the power of thought.

Thank you for visiting The Benefits Of Positive Thinking and please, do get in touch! I love knowing about my readers.

Have a brilliant day!

Cristina
