Bio
Hi! A little something about me... I'm Cris, a 28 years old psychology graduate. I've been a Listener on 7Cups since June 2015, a Mentor since January 2016 and a Community Mentor Leader since September 2016. I've helped the community in various projects so far but the ones I remained loyal to are: Internship Program, Relationship Support & Bullying Support.

I gave up all my mentor roles in March-April 2017 wishing to focus better on my offline practice. Now I'm back in business ready to help you out.

I usually listen to teens on relationship issues, family stress & school conflicts. You can always come to me if you need help regarding any of these topics. Right now, I'm only a Forum Mentor but I plan on slowly re-becoming more active.

Take care!

What if you imagine you already tried and failed....?

...See more If you want to make productive changes to your life — whatever those changes may be — one of the easiest yet most valuable things that you can do is to imagine that you implemented the change(s), a year has passed, and youve failed. What went wrong? What unexpected events arose and swept you off your path? Which parts of your goals may have been just a bit too hopeful to begin with? This strategy is not pessimism — not exactly, anyway. Whenever I set out to accomplish something outside of my comfort zone, I do my best to approach the challenge with a positive mindset, and, in doing so, cultivate self-belief. After all, self-belief is a very real and scientifically backed [http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/10/performance-enhancing-supplements-that-actually-work.html] performance enhancer. Without it, people are much less likely to take constructive risks and reach their full potential. Progress, and especially breakthrough, requires a good measure of optimism. Confidence in future success sustains a positive mood that enhances [ones] prospects of prevailing. When action is needed, optimism, even of the mildly delusional variety, may be a good thing. - Daniel Kahneman But at the same time, the optimism that allows us to climb mountains, start companies, qualify for the Olympics, or even just make simple life changes, like going on a diet or sleeping more, comes with at least one significant blind spot: all the stuff that could go wrong. Normally, we dont realize these mishaps until they derail our projects. Its not until after the fact that we debrief, in what is commonly called a postmortem, everything that went wrong. But, according to Kahneman, this timing just doesnt make sense. A premortem, which is beneficial for just about every endeavor, from running a marathon to starting a business, simply asks you to envision that you failed and to ask yourself: What went wrong? Or, in the words of Kahneman, Imagine that you are [X amount of time] into the future. You implemented your plan as it now exists. The outcome was a disaster. Take five to ten minutes to write a brief history of that disaster. Going through this exercise not only helps to ensure that your optimism is at least somewhat grounded in reality, but it also helps you to uncover potential pitfalls on the path to your goal that might otherwise be overlooked. Let's discuss!

Thank you
Pretty logical and analytical in her approach towards friendships! It has opened up new perspectives and she has provided me with a neutral way of looking at things from a third party point of views. I would recommend this listener and would totally approach her again should I face any problems in the future! :)
She was Friendly and sweet. Loved talking to her :) Thank You

I really thank you from my heart.. You're a wonderful person:) thanks for making my day bright.. Can't explain in words how wonderful you made me feel 😊
This listener is really good when it comes to relationship insecurities ^^
She really gave me hope to go on!
When all other listeners said things like "Oh, my Gosh!", "Wow, That's terrible", "I'm Sorry" and such cliche phrases. She was really helpful, after conversation with her I feel far better. Thanks Cristiana, you're awesome.
amazing person. understood what i was talking about, and helped me a lot. thank you.
They are very sweet and caring, v glad to have met them
i appreciate what you did, and you're a lovely person (:
What can I say about @cristiana33 which wasn't said already by so many before me? I can use words like kind, empathetic, patient, warm, understanding, loving, helpful, non-judgemental, perfect, wonderful, but is it really convey the loveliness of this listener's character? Does it fully describe the support and compassion their words bring to those in need? The hope and relief they give in the hardest times? I will leave you all with this little thought - I'd definitely choose @christiana33 to chat once more.
Perfect listener, she helped me feel understood.
Great chat. Very helpful.
She really helped me a lot. Thank you so much. This was my first experience with 7cups

Thanks
Thanks
Thank you ^-^
Had a great time chatting with her and she is really good in helping you to figure out what you are trying to figure out! =)
Cristiana seems to really understand how relationships work and how they affect lives. They talk very professionally but I feel like I'm talking to a friend when I talk to her rather than a serious person. They really relatively quickly and their information is very informative.
Her responses are clear and easy to understand
Amazing listener asking very constructive questions. Somehow just one chat with Christiana made me feel relieved! She is also professional and she is very interested in you =) I wish there were more listeners with such a personal approach! Thaaaanks =)
Cristiana333 was absolutely spectacular. Insightful, kind, and with just the right words, she really helped me enormously. Thanks for your incredible kindness!
Has my back .. 100% need this person so much in my life right ... blessing from God
Nice and sympathetic listener.
