Personal Development Unplugged

My 20 Minute Rule I'm sure I didn't come up with this, maybe I did but it doesn't matter other than you it inspires you to begin doing the things you have been putting off with the excuse "I haven't the time". That excuse no longer holds and in this time when you just may find you have more time on your hands than usual, it's to step up, stand up and start doing. You just may find the thing you have been putting off is the thing. What that thing is, is for you to find out :O) Shine brightly Paul https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-291-my-20-minute-rule/ Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Another (MaD WorLd) Process to let go of Anxiety There a number of ways to deal with and let go of anxiety. Coincidently this was in my mind just before listening to Tara Bach's podcast explaining the Buddhist process of Rain and the processes are very similar. My version is a bit hypnotic, as you might expect, so make sure you're not doing anything that needs your eyes open. Plus I give a big shout out to my Clough family who are doing their bit to help in this MaD WoRld we find ourselves in at the moment. Luke is posting Facebook live videos at Cambridge Hypnotherapy Melissa has a great yoga video on Facebook, search for Melissa Clough And Joseph has reduced his hypnosis apps to cost, search Joseph Clough Hypnosis in your app store Enjoy this process as well as all of the above and keep well and safe Shine brightly Paul https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/another-mad-world-process-to-let-go-of-anxiety Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

It's Got To Be Perfect. Being perfect, having to do things perfectly is and can be a real pain. The need to be perfect can stop you before you begin or ruin for you what, in everybody else's eyes, is awesome. Yet with a little change in perspective can lead you to great things and help you find passion in so many things. Yes I know I'm being vague and you know that's deliberate because I want you to come with me and explore the world of perfecticity. Yes that is a word because I just made it up :O) I wonder how far you would go, what you do and achieve when you know nothing has to be perfect because with the right intention it is.

Let's deal with Worry in a Mad World Hypnotically Everyone worries, it's hard-wired in us BUT We can change the way we think with comfort, awareness, clarity, etc.  by being and having appropriate thoughts and behaviors. Let's upgrade that old reptilian part of our brain that protects from saber tooth tigers and use all our resources, experiences and learn to be safe without worry. This episode does lead in to Hypnosis so no driving or doing anything that needs your attention - you know the way and enjoy this different way to re-wire those synaptic gaps. A BIG shout out to a great hypnotherapist, Stephen Brooks, who shared a process whose structure I have used to create something just for you. Look out for an email soon to update you when I move this to my page dedicated to collecting all my hypnosis tracks in one place and making them downloadable. If you want access to this and all those tracks simply go to www.paulcloughonline.com/podcast As I have said before if there is any topic or process you think wou

Move - You That Is From a five minute quickie, we've dived deeper going from a dream world into reality and discover how to have real self-esteem. Moving people by serving but where do you start? What would happen if everyone did this? But would or could that ever happen? Yep! you're probably thinking - get into the real world Cloughie, because everybody won't. And, you're unfortunately correct but we can start somewhere and I'll take you to a place in your mind where it could begin and the great effects that would grow. Let's dive into what stops us, me and then how we can make this a reality and reach our dreams. It just may be something to think about but more importantly if we do the things I suggest you and I would be creating a Goodlife. It's not the longest of our longer podcast episodes but I really feel you will be inspired to do, not just think and become a master of you and actually live your Ultimate Vision. You may not have your Ultimate Vision written down but you do have one and this conversati

It's All About Moving - You That Is Listening to The Goodlife podcast, hosted by Jonathan Fields (It's a great podcast), and there's always the question "What makes a good life?" and the answer this time got me thinking. What was the answer this time? Doing things that Move people And I thought that's an element of selfless service and I wanted to share that and get you to think what could you do to Move people and what does Move people mean to you? The more I thought about it the deeper I went with surprising results - well they surprised me :O) So....................... There's a longer podcast coming that will take you into all different areas of moving people, where and how to start and the effects that will surely happen when you do.

A swear word that will change your life for the better I recorded this episode some time ago last year and wasn't sure if I was brave enough to share it with you. But something made me listen to it and I felt not sharing was against my values and the essence of this podcast. It does contain a couple of swear words (not as many as I say in the intro/heads up) so please be warned. So what's it all about? I hear you ask Well.......... Sometimes we just stop doing what we want, it happens without you knowing why and we blame self-sabotage and procrastination. Sometimes it's the people around us who influence us, at a conscious and unconscious level, that affect our actions or non-actions. This can go on and stop us, me and you, from achieving our real destiny and all the smaller goals in between. So in this deeper dive, I'll share with you my experience of this and what I learned, how I was able to get through this. Come with me and you may recognize some of my feelings inside you and the actions I took may well

People Get It So Wrong - About Therapy That Is It doesn't have to take a long time and it doesn't have to hurt! Or Putting correctly change (you're not broken and don't need fixing) can be quick and can be a gentle, comfortable process. I get so cross when people of influence say things that are not true and generalize. Some of these people are those I really admire and bring me great information and material to muse and think over and that makes it harder for me because they are such good people. I have talked before about what to expect from a therapist (#24) and I might look to update that soon but this podcast is a re-issue for those who missed it.  If you can remember it, have another listen because I think you'll find hidden gems you might have missed :O). If you know of someone who you know needs help or is contemplating help please share this with them so the can make the best decision they can. You will be doing a great act of kindness and I know that's what you do. You know where to find me if you w

Let's Re-frame Change Yes, let's re-examine and take another perspective of change, personal change work and all within around five minutes. To do something new or different we sometimes pull away from 'change' - No one likes change - Really? You're probably listening to this podcast because you want to develop yourself and create the change in yourself to become the best 'you' you can be. AND You're not even sure what that best you is because I can tell you know you are always more than you think you are or can be. We can resist change because we fear we will fail, look stupid, feel embarrassed and a whole lot worse in our imagination So............. Let's reframe change to an EXPERIMENT. Experiments just get results and you can then adapt, tweak, add or subtract and experiment again until you get better than you want. Maybe we'll a deeper dive into this and see how we can incorporate experimentation in our lives that create the reality we want for ourselves and helps others to do the same. Let me know your

The More I evolve the More Issues I seem to Notice If you, like me, it seems the more learn and develop I have begun to notice more things that need attention. I think in the dim and distant past I used to blindly stumble through life and not deal with those things. in effect going with the flow and be taken where ever that should go even over waterfalls of anxiety and fear (very poetic Cloughie). The great thing is the more you notice, the more you can do things about those things because you have learned the skills to deal with them. It's as if they are your springboard to the next level. You've expanded your commonly known 'comfort zone' which I prefer to call Familiar Zone and expanding your experiences in all areas of your life and sometimes we need to integrate the learnings at an unconscious level and this can cause that weird feeling we get. Let's explore this more deeply in the episode and learn how to deal with and use this experience to our advantage. A usual I would love to hear more of your feedb

Making a Difference Despite the Horrors Because you can Don't listen to the news, don't watch the news, stop those feeds to your phone and don't read about the horrors that go on around the world because you will be influenced to feel that horror. This is what some will tell you and to some extent they are correct. Apparently feeling doesn't count when it comes to news reporting. But it's difficult and when you add the old fake news to boot then what do you do other than feel helpless and bad for not being able to help. So what can we do to change all of that? Well, if you can help directly - do If you can't I have another way that will make a difference. It's not completely my way and if you come with me down this particular rabbit hole I'll tell you the story told to me by Geoff Thompson (an awesomely good man) and it's something we can all do, yep everyone of us that wants to make a difference can do this. If we all did the world would change over the weekend :O) - well nearly but not too long after I bet.

When Is Simple Too Simple Or Not A deep dive in getting results Here at the Personal Development Unplugged podcast heart, we follow such things as 'In Simplicity There Is Genius' and also another by Alby Einstien 'Everything Should Be As Simple As It Can Be But Not Too Simple'. So where to draw the line? Because we all see some so-called 'experts' or 'gurus' tend to make things really complicated to make themselves appear the 'real deal' or to hide the fact that they didn't invent what they teach as being new - That really gets to me and here at the PDU podcast we de-construct all of those and the genuine article to make things simple to follow and get result. Simple doesn't necessarily mean really easy because to get a result you will need to commit and take action with a committed effort, that's if you really do want to succeed and not just know. So come with me in the episode and dive into some examples when making things simpler just worked and also where adding to something that was too simple got great

The How-To of Finding The Elusive Passion  Pt2 Another deep dive into not only Finding YOUR PASSION but firing it off when you want it What a big ask, but I think I've come up with the goods. It's simple and not too simple = It's easy if you're prepared to commit and do. WH When I  say commit, and I do also mean you will have had to listen to the last podcast #159 and do the 'mind maps' because without that you're just listening, knowing but that knowledge will be useless without taking action.  When you do I believe the sky's the limit for all areas of your life - YAY!

Give Praise to Succeed Yes, we're back with a new Five Minute Quickie podcast and a new thought about the future. Guess what? I was listening to the radio and an interview with a footballer telling of how receiving praise made him just want to play better for his manager. I thought Hey! Here's something that might be new to learn and share. But it wasn't. It was just what we have been advocating for years, no more feedback sandwich but fishes of praise and appreciation. Way back in December 2017 in FMQ 137 'Learning from Dolphins' I shared what I had learned about giving fishes and seeing something happen before your eyes. Why not listen t both and learn how to empower and motivate with ease. As usual, it follows the 'In simplicity there is Genius'  philosophy we follow here and get the most from our energy investment = Happy Daze  :O) Shine brightly Paul https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/?p=1733 Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Finding Your Elusive Passion pt 1 I believe your passion is hidden in plain sight I don't believe the BS 'clickbait' of finding your passion in 5minutes or in secret ways only this or that 'guru' knows. We talked about this before but something inside wanted to dive deeper. Whether it was a mention of Robert Green's book Mastery giving a similar view I have had for a long time. Not that make me right but I do feel a 'GREAT' mind and little old me thinking along the same lines make it more feasible. What you talkin' about Cloughie? Well in this part one we get to discover where to look and feel it again as you have felt it before and 'Anchor' it. 'Anchor' being the NLP process of being able to replicate a feeling at will. And then ......... well that's the job of part two. We'll aim to find your passion and get set to fire it off as you plan your career, relationships, special relationship and basically anywhere you want it. So what are you waiting for? Dive in with me and find your passion. You could always u
