The How and Effect of Understanding Your Values Part Two - finding and living your Passion   What a great start to the new year. If you are involved in those dreaded new year resolutions STOP and listen to this and the last episode #157 as you will find what you should resolve to do and why you haven't in the past. Yes following on from #157 Challenging My Beliefs and Yours I'm, as promised, going into more detail of how to discover your values and identify any conflicts. And I have kept it simple because that's what we do here to get really great results.  :O) I'll share with my experiences with finding my colleague's values and being able to understand their needs to get them to enjoy a successful career and make my life so easy working with them. Although where we go is a great tool to work with the people you meet at work, more importantly, it really is something that when you explore the different contexts/areas of your world you will find what and why some things really float your boat and others well j

Challenging My Beliefs and Yours Oh My! I recently had one of my major beliefs questioned/challenged by someone who wasn't even there. Why is this important? Because in my world beliefs and values are the most important things and are my identity and if you have ever had yours challenged you will know exactly how I felt. This challenge questioned the very way I work with my clients and have done for years to create massive positive changes in their worlds. I had to have a long hard look at this. Why not come with me and explore what this meant and the effect it had. I think you will learn something really valuable as I did. I'll even go into a 'how-to' that may just change the way you live your life. Is that interesting enough? As always, please let me know your thoughts on this subject by emailing me at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Paul https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/157-challenging-my-beliefs-and-yours Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions

(I) Love Not Being Good Enough If you're like me, like so many of my coaching clients, so many of my Hypnotherapy clients and everyone else :O) Not Being good Enough is a limiting belief that stops us doing what we'd love to do. I find with my clients we can quickly get to the root (cause) of their issue, I don't treat the effects like so many others do and take a long time, I seem to find this belief 'I'm Not Good Enough' along with a negative emotion more than not. We also find out the positive intention behind the issue too (unlike many others) and find when we get the unconscious  mind to notice this belief and the accompanying behaviours and emotions are in conflict with the intention we can quickly resolve the whole issue. But I've come to thinking let's not throw away this old belief too quickly and use it as a powerful empowering part of the solution - Really Cloughie! are you mad? No, with a little re-framing we have another tool to excel and achieve anything we want and enjoy the process. Come on, h

Hypnosis in the Eye of the storm Yes a Hypnosis track right in the middle of a podcast So we're right in the middle of Christmas and New Year and all the noise that they create so I thought I'd bring a little peace and quiet in the form of a hypnosis track just for you. I will be putting the track with all our other hypnosis tracks so you can simply go into trance without all the pre and post-talk. So keep an eye out for that after I remix it. It is not your straight forward run of the mill hypnosis that others are good at with so much guided instruction. I have taken this one or two steps higher and deeper so you really get with your unconscious mind. You're, going to have to listen to notice and feel the difference - I have already had great reviews so you have been warned. Let me know your experience and how the positive changes went for you by emailing me at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Oh! and remember to share and if you're feeling kinds good a review on iTunes / Google play would be great!

Do It or You'll Regret It Have you ever done something that you you were a little afraid of doing, maybe not confident or even not knowing why you were going o do it and it was a Success with a capital S! How did that feel when you did it? Have you regretted not doing something? I guess if you're like me the answer's YES. Seth Godden reminded me of this when I was listening to him and it really resonated. He said: You rarely or never regret having done something but you nearly always regret not doing something. So what have you or do you regret not doing it and I wonder what stopped you - fear? Anxiety? a negative belief? Come with me and explore this and how we can change the things we WILL do that in the past  we wouldn't have. If you do you may never have a regret again  :O) Shine brightly Paul https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/154-do-it-or-youll-regret-it Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

We've Been Validated Again Our philosophy here at the Personal Development Unplugged podcast is about doing and not intellectualizing. There are lot of people who think they know what to do because they've read about the subject or watched a lot about the subject BUT They've never ever done it! Yes you have to know what to do but you also have to do what you know - That's our version here of Mastery - Getting it in the muscle and we've stuck to this for ever. We have been validaded before and now we have another by no other than Gary Vanderchuck. Gary Vanderchuck is an entrepreneur and gives great advice and he said this............

EveryOne's a Critic A Five Minute Quickie Podcast This shorter podcast follows on from #153 'A Sense of Purpose' and as we get to follow that sense how is it those critics seem to appear out of nowhere? They appear as if magic to derail us from our objective with their un-asked for 'Advice'  which isn't advice but a secret veiled criticism. You could ask, but we never do, from what experience do they have or are they asserting from? Do they have our best interest at heart or is it from a place of envy for whatever reason? Here's how to think and act differently than we normally do - but you'll have to listen because this is a podcast   :O) Hope this helps in getting into the right frame of mind and allows you to not be de-railed  AND move forward.

A Sense of Purpose There are so many experts to be found telling you they can help you find your purpose in 6 minutes, 3 easy steps or with this 'New Secret' way and I wonder do they really know? The one's I've seen and heard say the same type of very general and 'non-secret' ways to get you to sign up to their programs - not good :O( But as I was thinking of this I found myself realising that there is a way to understand your Purpose and in a way you know to be right because some how you just know. And the thing is we sometimes never really in specific terms know but it, your purpose, and you evolve as you strive to be the ultimate you, your ultimate vision. Let me share with you my persona thoughts as they came to me in this conversational podcast and see if you agree or in some ways intuitively feel. When you have had time to reflect I'd love to know your thoughts and you can email them to me personally  here feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Paul https://personaldevelopmentunplugged

Being Selfish at Christmas Time This holiday time can be one of the most stressful times of the year when we wish, hope it's going to be different this time around. and Unless we get a little unselfishly selfish it will be stressful. So what can we do? It's pretty simple really :O) and when you do you can sit back and enjoy. Have a listen, it isn't too long and it might just make the difference that makes the difference.

Before You Take Action Think of This Let's deconstruct the complicated and make change easy From a conversation about the evolution of a business and how to change in order to cope with the change to something more personal. What was that more personal thing? Well it was linked with my thoughts and journaling of earlier in the week. You see I'd been thinking of where I was and the choices I had - Still to vague Cloughie! Well, I was considering to change quite radically on what I do on a daily basis, do I plan and do or continue to do the stuff I'm doing Or just go with the flow and let go of what I have been doing an live life with no real direction. To me this was a biggeey and still is. So before I take action on this 'BIGGEEY' this is what I thought. Yep you are going to have to listen to the podcast :O) If you agree or not when you've considered this drop me your thoughts via this email feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with

Having To Be Perfect A longer PDU podcast We all want to be perfect, even if we don't always get there or act like it. For some it's a 'Have to be or else' which is a difficult if not, if you care to listen, impossible position to put yourself in. And yes it's you who do it even if you don't know it. The thing is I don't want you to be perfect! What Cloughie!? Isn't that the goal? Nooooooooooooooooooooo! I have been with people who think that, I have had numerous clients that didn't know it but it was the root cause of there issues but so well hidden - yet when understood and a simple process or two and a wee bit of Hypnosis Boom! So even if you don't think this is you - it might be and if not you will know someone who is affected by this and to share this knowledge with them would serve them and you. And what will happen when your not perfect? Life will just keep getting better  :O) and that's what I really want for you Dive in with me on this little adventure and notice the results the processes create for

They'll never get you down after this Anchoring in a different way I love when a tried and tested process can be developed, expanded  and still keep it's simplicity and yet be equally as powerful as the original intention. What am I talking about? Well I have a pet peeve, that I'll rant over in another episode, where so many people in the hypnosis and NLP world simply decide follow by route, without thought, what and why they do what they do and don't get curious to what can be done with a little tweaking and get really great results. So here I'm taking you through a way to have the state that you want in place of the state that don't. For example when that certain person looks at you (a boss, team leader,a colleague or in fact anyone or situation) and you go to pieces inside. That's got to be something worth learning isn't it? AND make it a new habit to have that old trigger set off the way you want to be and feel YAY!!!!  :O) Yep, It's a longer five minute quickie podcast but that's okay because I want you

The BS of 1% Improvement We hear, in this world of self development, that just improve whatever you're doing by 1% and the results will be ..... You may have also heard of 'CANI' - Constant and Never ending Improvement which I guess follows a similar theme. Are these BS? It would be provocative to say so wouldn't it? Would it be true? - Not really but no one really tells you how because it appears to be so simple. BUT simple doesn't necessarily mean easy :O( What seems to follow when we try this is shear overwhelm leading to procrastination and giving up - not a pretty sight and it's not very motivating. So................... Let's get in a little deeper and explore how we can achieve this and when we do how sensational the results will be. Let's explore ways in which we can be filled with genuine motivation though out the whole adventure, which when you look at it is in fact your life. You know the email to send your feedback of what you learnt and how dong what we discuss changed you success but if you've f

Who's Goal Is It Anyway A longer episode PDU podcast We all have goals, in fact virtually everything we do is a goal, an outcome in mind. It's just some are bigger and will have a more dramatic affect on how we feel when we're working on them and when we finish -successful or not Hmmmmmmm. More specifically, do you, like me, have goals that seem to have stalled or not even got off the ground and you have been thinking abut them for a long time? Why is that? not getting that goal off the ground or completing them or even not being happy at the end of all that hard work. Well I have a couple of thoughts and a story of my personal past of not even starting something I would have loved to have succeeded in but never even started :O( Come with me and I'll go through some ways we can make sure we really want these goals/results in our lives or if just inherited them and what to do with them. When you find what's stalling the goals that really are yours I'll show you one sure way of getting it back on track YAY! and

Advice for a friend There's been a lot of changes here at Personal Development Unplugged since the very first few episodes and I want to continue the changes as we go into a new year.

Seeing clearly A 5 minute Quickie Podcast Have you ever seen the man who spins those plates on sticks and in the chaos keeps running back and forwards keeping them spinning and then as he takes a bow they all seem to get in sync with each other? As I have been reading a great book by a great author Dr. Wayne Dyer 'Change your thoughts change your life'  he quotes from the Tao "Muddy water will always come clear" and it got me thinking about the spinning plates, a child's toy and it how things slow down to become clear But If we just stop and keep being stopped we may just stagnate But What if we pause and let things become clear and then ...................................... We need to do something and before we do something we need to do this....... well you'll just have to listen and find out :O) and there's a lot here to find out.

Action ends suffering - doesn't it? A Five Minute Quickie podcast This a a quick kick up the bum, a reminder or a flash of the bleedin' obvious :O) It's probably more meant to be a prompt from my unconscious best friend to get me to do something and I thought you, well you're like me, and it will prompt you. We have and will be talking about cause and effect, taking responsibility and this is another small part of that as it really dos effect all that we do or don't do BIG or small. So even if this obvious to you take a moment to ask yourself 'Am I really taking the best action? or am I re-acting? or doing a little stagnating? Be honest with yourself, like I was, and you will thank me for it. Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Are you going to let this de-rail you Sometimes issues, problems, seem insurmountable don't they? With it goes a little bit of pain or a lot and a few negative emotions to boot. Can you guess the ones I'm thinking about? If you choose to stay here, Choose Paul? I don't choose or didn't choose this it was caused by someone or something. Err, yes you did or do. I know I'm painting this in a hard way and that's deliberate because I want you to act or even re-act. Move to the cause side of this equation, STOP! Now that you've stopped let's consider: What's the worst that can happen?  Really??? No the real worst is far less frightening than you've been imagining. What can I learn here? What's the intention or my intention? What do I really want? And there's a few more we can add. Now we can decide something and when we do we'll do a NIKE'y. That's the great thing it is actually YOUR CHOICE Did this episode help in any way? If it did let me know by email feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Pa
