happiness
Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
The Pleasure Principle
We are very busy creatures in this world. Its a world full of doing, in which we often forget about being. We are constantly rushing to get the next task complete or the next chore done, so that we forget to give ourselves self-pleasure or believe we simply don't have time for self-care. Or we consider ourselves selfish for doing such.

Trance experiences, hypnotic inductions, and set points
I have been asked over and over again about the best way to deliver amazing trance experiences. It comes down to communication and it doesn't matter if you communicating with a group of one person. The question you want to ask is what do you do for the joy of it? People will happily share with you the many reasons and details that they enjoy about their favorite recreational activities. What they may not realize is they will shift into a trance state as part of their chosen activity. All activities are naturally trance inducing. For example, playing an instrument until you feel like the instrument is playing you and painting until you feel the scene is revealing itself to you. Both share an isomorphic trance where the subconscious becomes more dominant and leads the body through an activity. Recreational activities are desired and experienced by most people, because they are familiar with the trance experience and seek to engage with it again. Engaging with this familiar state of trance is all that's needed to shift into a hypnotic trance.

Book Called Life
Oh, where do I begin?!!! Life has changed so much in this past year, I got a new high paying job working with my best friend experiencing life the I didn’t think I would. I had a spiritual awakening, I went 85% vegan (yes, it’s a thing because I say it is, I am the architect of my life) it just means I have issues with letting go of cheese 15% of the time.

Life in the Slow Lane
If you had told me five years ago I would be living life in the slow lane I would have thought you had gone mad. I am a type A personality, always on the go, I would rush from one thing to the next. I would also rush my children, “hurry hurry we have get to here or there.” Until, I got sick, really sick with whooping cough and a string of other viruses of which landed me in bed for nearly twelve months...a whole year!

Happiness Is Free!
Happiness Grows From the Inside! Your happiness is an inside job. That means that no matter what is going on around you, your happiness is sown from the inside out. It will not be affected unless you choose to use something outside of you as an excuse to take up space in your state of happiness!

What's Your 2020?
Do you have it all figure out for the New Year 2020?, to be honest I thought I did; but the truth is I don't, and I realize it's okay. I wanted to do so much this year, and I know the year just beginning, but I just couldn't wait to get started, then it hit me, start what? I did not have a clue and I still don't. I guess my New Year's Resolution was inside my head, or just a dream I have not waken up from. New Year's 2020, got me thinking; I should just be happy that I survive another year, and I will be able to figure it out one day at a time, so my New Year's Resolution is I don't have any because I AM MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!

The Value of Self-Reflection
It was recently unbeknownst to me how truly misguided my thoughts were in terms of living a life of virtue and happiness. That isn't to say that I haven't been happy, quite the contrary in fact; I'm attending my desired university (University of Toronto) and studying what I'm passionate about (philosophy, history, political science). But I think that while I am happy about my current affairs, I don't if I have achieved complete happiness. So, this article will be a comprehensive review of my view of happiness, heavily influenced by my love of philosophy.

Dear 2019,
I thought past years had tried me, but man was I fucking wrong. When I think back at the year I think of all the heartbreak. The moments where I thought I’d never be happy again. Or the moments where I felt so lost and like I didn’t belong anywhere. I had thought I had already hit rock bottom, but it turns out that there was a basement. If the Bailey at the end of 2019 was to tell Bailey at the beginning of 2019 where she’d be…for lack of better words she’d be suspicious. It’s a cliche thing to say, but cliche’s are cliche’s for a reason. 2019 was the year of heartbreak, but a big year for personal growth. By the time 2019 had rolled around it was time for a new me. The one that needed to find love for herself and focus on finding her own happiness. In the process of growing through heartbreak I changed the parts of me that needed to be changed and learned about some other parts along the way. Genuine happiness was something I didn’t know anything about. The last time I was genuinely happy from within was probably when I was a baby and it was because my mom handed me a cardboard box or some shit. But let me tell you, getting told “you look happier” from people who have witnessed you at your worst is an elite compliment. Through months of focusing on myself and making myself my number one priority I had found genuine happiness from myself; not from some food or friends or a significant other. Those other things just fill a temporary void and it’s unhealthy because when those things leave or are gone, you still feel empty. There’s the saying that you need to love yourself before you love anybody else and I was one of those people that believed in that. Until I realized you need to go through heartbreak to learn how to love yourself. Although I found self love and happiness, my mental health wasn’t the best. I might preach sometimes that it’s important to take care of yourself, but I’ll be the first to admit that I actually suck at doing that. My mental health was a struggle this year which made me realize my mental health has to be a main priority of mine. I never want myself to get that low ever again. Although this past year was filled with one too many lows, there were oh so many highs. Not only did I go to my first concert ever, but I went to a couple more after that. Including one that I took my mom too, which was fun watching my mom sing along to Shaggy. I made so many memories with my best friend that we still laugh about to this day. Later on in the year I spent a good amount of time at the beach which always helped me from being committed. I’ve also met the love of my life. I couldn’t have even dreamt of a love like this yet, here I am. Some might say it’s too good to be true, but I could only hope that everyone has a love like this in their life. A love that is simple, secure, and safe. So although my 2019 definitely felt like two different years, I’m beyond thankful for every up and down I had. If there’s one thing I will most definitely take away from 2019 it’s to truly love myself, flaws and all. It’s okay to not be okay. For the love of everything good in the world, just cry. So, 2019, you’ve been one emotional year…but thank you.

Let’s Celebrate!
As you remember, the original journey began last year, the day after my birthday. That day, I realized the next birthday was going to be one of the “big ones” that we tend to celebrate in life. If I am lucky enough, I will be able to celebrate 4 more “big ones”, but today we are celebrating this one!

Why Starting Your Day In The Right Way Will Change Your Life
I have always been what one would call an early riser, ever since I can remember. As a kid, I would get up at the crack of dawn since there were things to be decided for the day ahead, i.e. what to wear to school, which kids to hang out with, (or which ones to ignore), which snacks to fill my rucksack with that would make me look classy and yet cool at the same time (Italians & their food obsession!), what story to entertain the whole class with (it never occurred to me they may not actually have been that entertained at all!).
