End That Trance Something for you to muse over. I was taught that the job of a hypnotist was to de-hypnotize the client from the trance they are in, to one they want. A trance that would support them and enjoy life. Also, there are so many unknowing hypnotists putting you into trance - the news, social media, TV, and those well-meaning and maybe not so well-meaning people you meet. And you can decide to let them, to let the noise control you or choose the trance that you want. It's only a short podcast so if you can spare the time I think it will be worth it and when you have please share so others can decide as well https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-319-end-that-trance/ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Can I Tell You A Story? Once Upon A Time I think everyone loves a story and over the month I hope to sprinkle a few stories, metaphors, I've borrowed, I've evolved, and even some of my own. Why? I just love them and the effect they have had on me and my life. It seems just when you need to learn something in a subtle and gentle way the right story comes along. And I really wanted to share them with you - it's as simple as that because I know every story will affect you, maybe just a little or maybe profoundly like it did to me. Somewhere along the way, each will have a positive effect on us. I say us because even retelling these has an effect on me again - which is awesome! This first sharing is a true story of mine with a story shared to me by Norma and Phil Barretta and as I have said affected me then, some 19 years ago and every time I tell it. I hope you get what you need as I did. I'd love to know your thoughts, reactions, and any stories you would like to share. All you have to do is email this at feedb

Seeing Is Dreaming So as usual the 5 minute Quickie Podcast has gone just a little over the 5 minute and there's a very good reason for that. What's that then Cloughie? I hear you say I want you t feel how you want to feel and make that a habit - Sounds good eh? You see, the subject matter was just too useful to us and really couldn't be treated in less than 5 minutes and be of real quality. I can't short change you and I won't so gather up what you need to gather up and get ready to listen. Whether you think this is Whoo Whoo La La or Science-based you're right and it works. The thing is it is not magic, the results may seem magical and that's the awesome thing about this. You do have to put in the work though. It's not hard work but takes a likkle oommph! And that I know you have if you really want to feel that way. So buckle up and press play then Please share this https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-318-seeing-is-dreaming/ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me w

No More Excuses - Period How is it that some people make it  - In any situation? You got it! They will not accept excuses, Their own that is. It's so easy, and we all do it well I know I fall into the trap of giving reasons why we didn't or why we couldn't. Now I know a lot of people have talked about this but I wanted to go deeper than the surface treatment usually given and take you into how. The how to stop giving reasons accept they are nothing more than excuses (that's harsh Cloughie) and take responsibility for your outcomes from the getgo! When you get it, really get it, and start, your dreams will become your reality because you will be empowered to do it and experience them. Would that be important to you? It would right or you wouldn't be here. The thing is it really is not that difficult when you know how AND commit to it. Life then begins to take new colours and definition and the richness begins. So come with me and press play. It's the first step - take it now! And when you have please share thi

Affirmations don't work until...... You hear and read affirmations all over the place You have probably had something like these suggested to you when you were down as a way out I'm Happy, I'm Happy, I'm Happy, I'm Happy, I'm Happy, I'm Happy, etc., etc. Every day, in every way, I'm getting better And in those times these words did absolutely NOTHING!!!!! And there's a reason they did nothing and if you press play you will learn why. And then you will learn what to do and then what to say that works. All in a five-minute Quickie podcast lasting a little longer than 5 minutes  :O) Please share https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-317-affirmations-dont-work/ And you may want to share a cup of coffee with me too Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

My Quiet Place A place where you can Think, Dream, and Create Would you like to be able to create your own place where you can think as quickly as it takes to put a finger and thumb together? What would you be able to do with that skill? Come with me and I'll teach you how. From my personal experiences where I needed a quiet place to get away from the world and get my thoughts together, to think, to dream, and make sense. I've learned how to reproduce that anywhere and I want to share that with you. From these personal experiences, I'll lead you through the process right here in this episode so you too can do the same. I loved my special quiet place and the things it allowed me to create. Hey, I even, in my darker time of my life, even wrote a poem and I'll share that with you too to give you an idea where I was emotionally back then and how life changed. I credit the bigger changes to my life from this space which is why I feel compelled to share it with you - sharing without expecting a return is a major va

Jim Carey Said to me What's your talent? What's your talent that helps others, what do they need that your talent can provide? Add this to selfless service and we have BOOM! A recipe for success and maybe our passion will begin to shine? Let me share with you, remind you of the experiences we have all had and then ................. Apply it to ourselves and then you'll just get it. I did and it really made me think and I reckon it will do the same to you too Please come with me on this short podcast and then share what you get and this episode too https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-316-jim-carey-said/ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Taking Intuitive Action On Dreams Do I? Don't I? Now before we start I am not one to advocate, promote ignoring everything, and simply follow your intuition. Having said that I also believe intuition can guide us to great things, experiences, and ultimately change our lives IF....... I want to share two very different experiences I've had following my intuition and what I learned from each and the complete difference in results. From there we can explore how to differentiate between these two types and create a way, a little process (oh yes a process) to get the utmost from both. Where does intuition come from and what is it's intention? Sometimes it seems so right and we have to act quickly or do we? What happens when we do and what happens when we don't? So come with me and let's learn and when you do I promise you the results can be spectacular! I'll say no more so you will just have to press play and enjoy. When you find those golden nuggets please share them with every one and this episode: https://pers

If Only I Get Accepted (1)5 minutes of IS (Imposter Syndrome) Will this be liked? loved? shared? Is what I'm doing good enough and going to get me accepted? These are the questions I think we all ask ourselves - a lot - and if we're also doing something creative or in the public eye even more. What are the criteria for acceptance? Oh if we only knew. Well, we might know if we dive deeper. We can look through the eyes of a little bit of NLP for a bit more clarity, then we can ask the real questions that I think make things real. You see if we let these IS feelings and their associated questions stop us from fulfilling our quest for a rich life and make us wait until......... Well, the thing is "He who waits, just waits and waits and ............" And that is not going to be you!

I Got Nothin' But It's about to get better! I'm going to share some stories of my experiences of when I knew nothing and then I knew I didn't know, then I did know, then it just flowed. Or to explain it in a different way in a question - Is your surface of ignorance growing? It should be - that's if we believe in shoulds. Would you like to find the edge of your knowledge, what you know in a subject, and go beyond. Have you experienced, like me, plateaus where we seem to stall, falter and even sometimes even stop and give up? Here's where we get to look forward to those times because we're going to use them as a springboard to success. I'll share with you how we learn and how you can learn more and I want to push you, pull you, past that unreal barrier we make up for ourselves and springboard to mastery. Yup, a big claim but I think I've got it handled! :O) If it's important to you to make your life better, richer in every way possible? Then here's where we start. Let's deep dive in the next 45 or so minutes a

I Can't Be My Best Until you are If we have this n the forefront of our minds then all would be well. Does it come from a Zulu saying? Don't know but wherever it came from it's a beauty. And if everyone else had this in their psychology we would all soar to the greatest of heights. If you want to know what I'm talking about dive in and press play. What you will hear is simple and profound.

I'm Not Good Enough PART 2 It's time to let that belief go In part 1 we looked at how this Limiting belief "I'm not good enough" affects everyone, one of the true generalizations! And what it does for you or better said what it's trying to do for you now that isn't working. Here's where we get to see that conflict more clearly and experience, should you choose to so, a process or two to let this limiting belief go where it belongs - In the Past = and find what really works for you and your goals and dreams. When you do the only limit is your imagination and that, as you know, is limitless! Simply put - What would you be able to achieve, do, and feel if the belief 'I'm not good enough' and the negative emotion that's attached to it was to disappear from your life? We'll even have a look at that too!   :O) So come on - press play > or the download button and join me this second part of the podcast V and enjoy.

Good Enough  A five-minute Quickie podcast Slipped in between parts 1 & 2 of I'm not good enough longer episodes I want to break up those deeper dives to get you thinking differently. Trust me they all come together quite nicely. This is in effect a reframe, looking from a different perspective and taking learnings from there into those you may be contemplating. Even if you're not this is an interesting perspective in its own right. It's only just over 11 minutes long (not bad for our 5 minute quickies) so it's just right to wet your thought buds :O) Please share because it will make a difference to those you share it to https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-313-good-enough/ ‎ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

I'm Not Good Enough PART 1 Following our deeper dives into a little bit more serious topics in recent our longer episodes, I hope you enjoy this path we're taking, I wanted to tackle something that affects us all. This Limiting belief "I'm not good enough" affects everyone,  Yep, You're not alone we all have it lingering beneath the surface. How do I know it affects us all, I'm psychic - No, but I see it surface with so many of my clients in both the hypnotherapy side of my life as well as the coaching side. Because of this and working with this belief, I began to question its validity and discovered some interesting things to get below the surface of this limiting belief,  the root cause, and how when you deal with it the awesome results generalize in all areas of your life. We'll discover that in some areas of your life this belief is, in fact, a fact that once acknowledged will springboard you to greater heights, expertise and skill levels. Now just that is worth the money you paid!   :O) We'll also learn

I'm Leaving Everybody And for something better Butterflies flap on one side of the world and create a storm, at least that's how the metaphor goes. We never know how far the ripples of change will go, that's a fact. And following an old saying, if we follow it things will get better in your world and those close to you. What is that old saying and what am I talking about in this short podcast? As usual, you will have to come with me. When you do it might remind you of what you already know and need to do or simply remind you of what you need to do. We have to begin somewhere, why not here?

Hostile Relations Resolving Conflict I loved the making of this episode and incorporating a wonderful process to boot - So make sure you have nothing that needs your attention other than your intention to let go of that part that's holding you back. I'm sure you've said something like this: On the one hand, I want to (you fill in the blank) but on the other hand ........ Or A part of me really want to do (you fill in the blank) but there's another part of me that's holding me back I think we've all experienced that at some time in our lives - even now I would tell you more but that would spoil it for you. So let's get curious and come with me to find out more. and when you do - tell what you experienced, I can be emailed at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com This is a form of a  process, thanks to Stephen Brooks, that I really love to work with my clients and I hope you will too. Please share what you learn and experience and especially this podcast and this episode: https://personaldevelopmentunp

Turn Frustration to Calm or Even Peace Includes a mini process We all, well I do, get frustrated at so many little things. There are also natural phenomena of triggers in our lives - anchors if you will. So I've had a little think and found a way to incorporate a thing that we see daily and used it to fire off Calm or even Peace. And the thing is the more you see it the more calm and peaceful you become. You can easily adapt this to anything you pass in the day that you think would be useful to use as a trigger. Ok, as I mentioned above there is a mini process in this episode (which I'm trying to incorporate more of) so if you decide to follow it make sure nothing else needs your intention. It will be worth it though :O) Share the peace and calm to people you know by sharing this episode: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-311-turn-frustration-to-calm-or-even-peace And there's some important news of a Free Hypnosis track when you visit https://paulcloughonline.com Shine brightly Paul Please remembe

Scared of My Bias and How To Change It When you understand how our cognitive bias is formed you will be scared, I was! It's inbuilt from the day we're born but how we learn to use it from the examples/experiences we have doesn't always make for us be the best version of ourselves that we would like to show the world. Heavy stuff Hey? But if we could get it right, how we act and react would make for such a better life - for you - for me - and everyone else in the world. Because it's an unconscious process/program where better to go and fix it other than the unconscious level, which is where all the stuff, the noise tries to influence us. When we notice the noise and question it, look for the opposite, and the data we start our way to Self Sovereignty. If you follow me down this rabbit hole we'll learn how to make those changes that in turn will affect a whole lot more in the messed-up world for the better. Strong stuff, it's simple but takes effort but together we can do this. Come and find out the Why, the Wh

Make Yourself Known it works both ways You probably know my thoughts on World Mental Health Day (it's too important to be only one day, should be 365 days every year). Anyone suffering in any way in terms of their mental health, the way they feel, and how that affects them generally hides it or doesn't know how to broach the subject. That's a great shame that we have to help make disappear. This short podcast, 5-minute quickie, was inspired by watching a TV program of two comics, getting on a likkle bit, and reminiscing and being open about their health and issues they had experienced - It was lovely to watch and be part of this experience (thank you, Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse). It was during one of their chats they invited a lovely doctor to give advice on opening up and what he shared was simple yet so effective. What did he share? Come on with me for the next few minutes and find out. What you learn could save a life and that might even be yours. I hope you enjoy this episode and feel enough to shar
