A Calm Mind: Short and Simple Everyday Self-Care Meditation for Busy People

A CALM MIND

A CALM MIND CRIS GABRIEL SELF-CARE MEDITATION JOURNAL

Short and Simple Everyday Self-Care Meditation for Busy People

“I am too busy”, “I am so stressed and too much going on” and, “I have no time for myself”

Cris asks her students and clients if this sounds familiar? Can you relate to it? I’m sure you

have heard and perhaps spoken these words many times...

She learned from Bob Proctor, “time cannot be managed but activity can be managed”. Her dedication and passion

to share self-care and self-love practices led her to write this simple and concise journal book of meditations. She

believes that everyone can manage to include self-care and self-love practices for a few minutes every day. She creatively

incorporates her mediations into daily activities that become a lifestyle choice. Discover her distinctive way of practicing

meditation with an opportunity for journal writing that postulates a calm and peaceful mind.

Cris was inspired with journal writing after meditating on this Leland Val Van De Wall quotation:

“Writing causes thinking.

Thinking creates an image.

Images control feelings.

Feelings cause actions.

Actions create results.”

Cris believes that a creative mind and imagination only happen when that mind is relaxed

and calm. You can create better and more positive thoughts, feeling, actions and results

when your mind is at peace. She recommends that you journal your thoughts after your

meditation to discover the magic of your marvellous mind.

About the AuthorEvery day when I wake up in the morning I will start with the affirmation “I am so happy and grateful now for another beautiful day to live my purpose and achieve my goals. I will share love, joy and peace to everyone I connect with today.”

It’s a lovely feeling to start the day with a smile and a positive attitude. During that time, I am reciting my affirmations in my mind. I also visualize my purpose, visions, goals and the love, joy and peace I share to others. My affirmation is also my intention, and with my daily visualizations I also add a short and sweet meditation. I also have a passion for journaling in the morning; I list ten things I am grateful for, the ones I have already received and the ones I am about to receive.

I am a Yoga, Meditation, and Reiki teacher and a Success Accountability partner for Wellness and Personal Development. I am very passionate about helping super busy people find the time for wellness, personal growth and self-care. I love to combine the practices of Yoga, Meditation, Reiki and Personal Development to find balance in my life. In my personal practice and teaching, I start with a short meditation to calm my mind and body. I truly believe that in order to focus our energy we must first focus our mind. The foundation of my Yoga and Reiki practices are meditation. Meditation is an amazing practice that brings us to a state of stillness. When we are still, we become one with everything; when we are one with everything, we feel the deep interconnectedness with the universe. We experience calmness, peace and joy, and our minds are free from distractions and worries. I start my day and end my day with a calm mind.

Thank you for sharing your practice with me.
