Do it over theory It doesn't matter how much you know and how much you study if you don't use what you've learned it's useless other than being a "know it all" - And we all love to see that in others -NOT! It was so nice to again hear what we believe and talk about here in our little podcast is supported by others and the one and only Gary Vanderchuck. Mastery- Doing what you know AND Knowing what you do. It doesn't matter if what you know is small right now you can still be the master of what you know by doing it and it will grow.

Reset and Refresh - Right Now! And what would happen if you did If only we could feel differently, in the moment. Change how we feel to something different that is more appropriate. This was inspired by being in the gym and hearing something that just resonated and also seemed to endorse what we do and how we think here in the Unplugged world. And from what I heard got me thinking of how we could make it more powerful and then some. It takes stopping and pausing and experiencing the world like Da Vinci (something we did way back in FMQ 38) and incorporating a 'no mind' state and those perfect footprints in the sand as you center and settle. "Whoa! Cloughie" I hear you think "all that in just 20 minutes?" Come with me and spend some time, if it actually exists, to become in the center of time and experience a merging of states what really bring you in the NOW right now or whenever you want to return to the now. And.... It feels good too! Trust me, with your mind, and learn this awesome pattern interruption to

Enticed away from the noise and I'll tell you how you can do it to Just a quickie my friend to share with you an experience I had while standing on the cliff tops looking out over the sea.

The BS of Vulnerability Overused? Overrated? I want to share what others don't tell you about vulnerability.   I love it when some supposedly thought leaders tell you vulnerability is so no longer the thing to be and in the same breath tell you it's the only thing to be - trying to be controversial, click bitingly full of their own BS.   Hey, that's a strong start Cloughie!!!!   Unfortunately or fortunately whatever they say doesn't make it any less powerful, you will be that other often now poo poo'd word authentic.   But, yes there is a but   It's how you engage and where you start.   I'll share with you a different, less glamorous, place that will let you crush it. Sometimes it will be a little painful and I'll tell you about my experiences and the pain will be worth it. When I say pain, by the way, it's basically being honest with the one person who matters in all of this and as no one will be watching it really isn't so bad and the results - an overused Awesome with a capital A.   As always please share

A Meaningless Podcast For A Meaningless World And before you even think - this is not a rant or a down and dreary episode, far from it. What's the meaning of life? Some will use their whole lifetime to explore this and not get it. Some just won't get it from the beginning.   But You?   I think you do but maybe don't know you know or are ready to make a difference in your life and understand and make your life meaningful.   That's where we are headed in this episode and maybe a couple more, depending on how you and I think.   It's all a bit sketchy I know but that's how it is as this is an audio experience (unless I get it transcribed) but until then come with me a see your world, our world in a different way, being at cause and creating your reality in a meaningful way :O).   I'd love for a couple of things to happen as you listen   that you feel it's worth sharing, here's the link: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/244-a-meaningless-podcast/ That it resonates with you and you let me know how it did a

Living For Tomorrow Making Tomorrow Great I love that we have goals, dreams and desires and that whilst we work hard for them to materialize our focus is on the future - tomorrow or beyond. Some of us live primarily in the past and some constantly wishing in the future and we miss out on something special. We miss out on the only thing that exists in time - if it really exists. This is a five-minute quickie episode so jump in and find out what this is all about. It just might make a difference to what you're doing right now!

Post-Lockdown Anxiety Don't put this off Not a long podcast episode but maybe one with a really important message. Everything is about to change again as we come out of lock-down and I am seeing a huge increase in people suffering from anxiety in all different forms and it no coincidence of the timing with what's been going on and what's about to happen in our ever-changing world. And the thing is this anxiety is relatively easy to deal with if you deal with it now but if left, like all issues, they tend to get worse and spread to other areas of our lives. You don't want that and I don't want that for you so let's nip it in the bud right now. And also as you listen if there is anything you are experiencing and need more help that I can give here - Let me know - simply email me at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Because this is such an important topic please share this episode with anyone and everyone you know - it might be the best thing you can ever do for them Here's the link: https://personaldev

A New Way To Journal and Being Vulnerable Recorded in/on the spur of the moment and I just had to share what I've learned whilst Journaling. But it's not just about that as in here's a new way (it probably isn't) but to describe the process I share with you my personal bit or story and what I discovered. It seems to be an extension, that I only saw just now, of the last FMQ. I see now this has been brewing in my mind for quite a long time and connects with my love of questions. Questions are easy, even good ones, but the answers are or have been for me, so much more difficult. The thing is you have to be hear/here, that is to say, you have to listen and if it floats your boat you have to use or adapt it simply knowing doesn't count without the use. I know this is pretty random and obscure but because I did this on the fly I want you to listen and not be affected by my words here. I'd love your feedback and also what you do differently to this so I can learn from you too so please email me feedback@personaldev

A free - way - to excel letting go of fears and anxiety From a request to discuss overcoming the fear of driving on the freeway (motorway in the UK) I realized that a process I have used to great effect which I take you through for this issue can easily be adapted for virtually anything. The examples I talk through are such as relationship issues, meeting people, and in your career to name but a few. In effect, the only limitation is your imagination which we know here to be limitless. So you can listen to my client examples and go through the process right along with me or, which I would suggest being better, listen through once then as you understand what's required of the process you can follow through when you know you will be undisturbed and can truly focus on the intended outcome. Your choice as always. So if it's important to you to let go of a fear or anxiety or stress or well you fill in the blank put this short time aside and put yourself first for a moment or two and press play. If you have any iss

Listen to yourself It's Simple When You Do Another personal sharing that I hope inspires you to do the same or similar. Making things simple and taking the time to be aware of what your unconscious may be trying to tell you. This is also a forerunner to the longer podcast #241 A new way to Journal to take this simple act of listening and taking things deeper to find the deeper 'Stuff' (technical personal development term) which come out in a couple of weeks time I hope this teases you, in a good way. here's the link if you want to share this FMQ: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-337-listen-to-yourself-its-simple-when-you-do Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Being And Striving From Being Frightened And Scared A shortish episode that was sparked into life at 8:24 am and recorded there and then. A number of things came together and I feel I just have to share this with you and maybe you will join me in, because of the things that frighten and scare me, to make a difference in our world and the world of everyone else. It's time to make this change and come back to the basic premise of simply being kind, a good person. Individually we can make a difference and in turn connect. I guess you'll just have to listen and decide.

Listen to yourself - It's Simple When You Do Another personal sharing in another not so rare five-minute quickie. It all started with sitting outside, a cup of coffee, a fountain pen, and my journal, and here's what happened. It was a time when things just flowed and then .............. Well, you'll just have to listen, and maybe you will get the same type of feelings and may follow what I did. If you do and really take the opportunity to listen - to you. New note to self: As I write this I am beginning to see and understand developments I have taken place since and have subsequently developed and recorded an episode to be aired in about 2-3 weeks' time I guess that's an Ah-Ha moment in the moment.

NOT a Brain Hack For Grief I hate the term 'Hack' especially when linked with the brain and getting better personally, to me it's 'clickbait' and aimed at getting views from people who want quick results but with no effort at all, and Yup, I have my little rant in this episode. Moving on to the real subject at hand - Grief - and if you are feeling that emotion right now I'm so sorry with you. The thing is we choose to suffer that grief and we choose how long we have to suffer, stay with me here because when I say choose that's a good thing because we do get to choose but we don't realize it in the moment. That's why I recorded this, probably my longest episode to date, to share with you my experiences and how I learned to deal with grief in a different way and remember in a way that makes me feel good again and reconnected. Also, I think we can forget grief can come from many different causes and not just the loss of a loved one, such as loss of a job, being let go, retirement, and in living relationships - d

When I'm 80 Now's the time to decide Listening to Jordan Petterson speaking he mentioned that what you do today, what you decide right now affects who you are when you're 80. Now that got me thinking. Yes, you are responsible for the ultimate cause and effect, and if you stopped for a moment, the stop and pause we/I talk about so much and think will I be proud of what I am about to do? Well, I can tell you it brought me right back into the now, this present moment. THat's what I love about listening to learn and picking up those little golden nuggets thrown just waiting for you to collect them, to stop you in your track, and then to share. Even the act, the decision to share makes that 80-year-old future you a little prouder each and every time. I hope this, rarety of an FMQ, brings you to think, and if it has please pay your dues and pay it, this episode and the podcast as a whole. Here's the link for his episode: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-336-when-im-80/ Oh! Nearly forgot, You can also ca

Dispelling Gratitude - Really Has the act of gratitude been so well plied it's now only clickbait? Have you found if you've been doing the 'Act of Gratitude' for so long it's got stale and you're repeating the same things over and over and you don't feel that grateful as you used to? I did and it made me question the whole thing and it was just recently that I read a small piece from a book written by a Buddhist monk that got me to realize............. What? realize what? I can hear you think. It also took me back to a time a learnt something special, about myself, that kinda saved me and brought me out of a black time in my life. I'll share this with you too in this episode. So what's the conclusion to this thing about being grateful? Oh come on my friend I can't spell it out here this is a podcast and you have to listen, learn if it's important to you and do what you learn in real life. Oh! Did I mention share too? Here's the link: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/237-dispelling-gratitude-really/ L

Why I Use Hypnosis and dispelling the myths So right from the get-go Hypnosis is a tool, that's it it's that simple. Some people give it a sense of magic or an ism (hypnotism) to make it weird and wonderful. It's not magic but with the right process, hypnosis can produce effects that would appear magical. How could I have changed something I've lived with for most of my life in one session - it's magic! - No it's just what's possible with the right hypnotist, the right client, and the positive intention of both. Having said all that the first time I experienced hypnosis it blew my mind and I'll share that story with you in this episode. And It still does blow my mind after over 21 years of being part of and experiencing people change their lives in front of my eyes. Come with me and find out more, I'm sure you will find it a little intriguing and thoughtful. Please share this episode to everyone - here's the link: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/236-why-i-use-hypnosis/ ‎ Oh! If you want to see me rec
