[Test & Advice] Using hypnosis to treat bruxism (teeth grinding) & other traumas
I feel very lucky because every time I need something, chance/universe gives me the solution. In this case, just when I needed it, I was not only given the coordinates of the best dentist in Montreal, but was also told about a method to cure bruxism: hypnosis. The origin of bruxism Bruxism = grinding your teeth at night. It is said that the noise is quite characteristic and horrible. This can be noticed if you share a bed with someone who is slightly sensitive to noise, or by taking an x-ray at the dentist. Unfortunately, French dentists do not check this point systematically, so if you have any doubt, ask…

[Thoughts] #5: Realizing Dreams
People often tell me “I’m too jealous, you can do this and that”. I often tell them “I’m sure you can do this too. The only thing that separates the dream from the reality is the action. And no one can do that for you.” Do you dream of going around the world? But if you don’t even know how much it costs on average to go around the world, how do you know when/if you can do it? Do you dream of changing jobs? But if you don’t even know what job to aim for, how can you train, find job offers or activate your network to get there?…

[Thoughts] #4: My Personal Development Books
A few months ago, I started the “Reflection” section focused on personal development and I told you that I would give you a list of my books I started to work on myself in 2015 when I realized that despite a dream situation, I was very unhappy, and that my misfortunes came from me and not from others. After 3 years, I think I’ve come a long way: I was able to identify and understand why things were not going well, and change my way of seeing things. Since then, I’ve been doing much better. When did I realize that I have evolved and made progress? It was when my…

[Thoughts] #3: Gratitude & Being Thankful for What We Have
Recently, I was chatting with a friend on Facebook and since we haven’t seen each other for a year, she asked me “What’s up?” Apart from my travels? What’s new to tell him? I remembered my personal development since the departure on my round-the-world trip. And I told him that in each country I was receiving a life lesson . It’s always with a lot of fun and joy that I discover it by taking stock of a country. P/s: the same lesson can come back, until I understand. For example, since I didn’t work very well on my perfectionism in Spain, the same lesson was taught to me again…

[Thoughts] #2: Autobiographies
In the 2000s, the fashion was on the blog. Everybody had a blog. And among those thousands of blogs, I came across the one of a girl who never put a picture of herself. She wanted to confide in this personal space, without judgment, without being recognized.His blog was a kind of session at the shrink’s, open to all. An honest, unfiltered analysis of his life, his frustrations linked to the precariousness of his work but also his lack of confidence and his recent love relationship.I don’t know why I liked his blog so much. Maybe to make sure that even a person that I considered my ideal at that…

[Thoughts] #1: Living in the Present Moment
I decided to open a new category on the blog, which will gather all the thoughts I have during the trip. It’s very “personal development” oriented. One of my favorite topics. And these articles also answer the question I’m often asked: What do you get out of travelling around the world? Because if JB travels to escape the routine and discover new countries, I travel to discover myself. Background To give you a bit of context, before the world tour, despite an exciting job, a nice apartment, financial comfort and a lovely cat, I was completely stressed and unhappy. My body was letting me know, making me sick summer and…
