With my compliments Paul     Personal development [Unplugged] [podcast][NLP][Hypnosis][self development]self improvement][awareness]

I want the old me - sound familiar Would you let me share a another personal story? My personal story of wanting to find and be the 'Old Paul' again. I think it will resonate with you and maybe you will see the similarities. You see you don't really want the old you back again but what you do need is to be the REAL you. It was difficult for me to  get this but when I did WOW! I don't want to spoil it by giving to much here but since recording this I have  also recorded a hypnosis track to let go of the 'Old You' and reconnect to the 'REAL YOU' which is so liberating and because we a constantly evolving we can repeat this process over and over again Shine brightly and please remember to share Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Let's park our goals I overheard some people talking about how settings goals was NOT the thing to do, in fact if you set a goal then you should set in on the shelf and forget about it. Oh how I love people making statements that seem brand new and confirm their latest theory advocating and promoting systems (and by coincidence their latest book). They even gave an example to prove their case which seemed so wrong it should have been left on the shelf instead. Which is all ok if you're making people sit up and take notice but you don't really mean it. This wall being said in quite a big arena and wasn't just being said to make people sit up they meant it. The thing is, and I may be completely wrong, but in my 'ikkle' world of self development and improvement goals remain pretty relevant as do systems or as I learnt about them - strategies. Yet even these two world beaters in achieving need one more ingredient and that's VALUE - your values that give you the motivation to begin that goal in the first place. Th

It doesn't have to be this way Sometimes things happen to make us feel down or negative - S**t happens. It can effect you and I in different ways because................ You are unique and if you, like me, sometimes think "I'm the only person feeling this way". You walk around see all those people who seem to be enjoying themselves and think this is so unfair - yet you wouldn't wish this feeling on them but it feels isolating, alone. Does it have to be this way - it seems that way and even some people tell us yes we have to go through it over a long period of time. These people have a wonderful intention but they are wrong - really so wrong. How are they wrong - because you are unique and I know you have all the resources you need to move on and move on quicker so we can get on with loving the life we are living and living the life we love. All you have to do is find those resources, on the inside and those on the outside, and take action knowing how you want to feel. Please share your feedback so we can all

The BS of vulnerability - podcast "Exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed" or "Someone who is weak and without protection" If vulnerability is the 'thing' to be and strive for the above definitions doesn't bode well unless we go for the 'FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT' and you know how I hate with a vengeance that way to get what you want. Why? Because the words in the statement FFAAKKEE IITT!!!!!!!! If some people, and there are, who suggest this, that probably suggest doing it until you can get another to be vulnerable - and take advantage of it. What BS. So if you are wanting to be vulnerable - which despite the above, I do believe is a good thing, there is a way. Let me share it with you: First - start with one person only - your best friend - YOU and your best friend - your unconscious mind How - well have a listen and I'll explain all and when you get it, really get it you get to be vulnerable with others and create a connection. That connection will be true, congruent, honest and one you and

Can I ask you a question? Everything seems to start with a question - Especially the questions that make things worse when trying to make things better. Confused?? We have a brilliant, wonderful skill of not only asking those questions but answering them in outstanding 4k colour and 5:2 surround sound and with all the negative and painful feelings. Oh yes we're really good at that. But it's a brilliant skill - if we used it wisely. Let me explain - well you will have to listen for the full effect :O) Here's the other thing you will learn when you do listen - Let me show you some great' hows-to's' that will teach how to ask questions that make a difference in a positive way and in that way create a wonderful habit which in turn creates wonderful lives. Sound good?? There's so much in this podcast you will need your 'jenny journal' or a pen and paper so you can really get the benefit. Here's my question to you: Will you let me know what results your questions created for you? & would you share what you lear

Here's your Hypnosis track  Sleep Deeply Following FMQ 200 Come Sleep with me I promised I would share my personal hypnosis track with you. I d suggest you listen to the podcast first then use this track as many times as you wish. Get it here :O)

Sleep with me and hypnosis A 5 minute quickie podcast and gift Sleep is so important so we can enjoy being awake. And we've, well I know I have, have experienced not being able to sleep or waking up wide awake and it's still night time. There's probably a great positive intention from you best friend that's creating this too but it's just not working because when you're awake at night you can't really do anything and when you're awake you're too tired to do anything. Let me explain all, not here but in the podcast :O) Just so you know there's a shameless plug and a gift of my Deep Sleep Hypnosis. Can I also ask for some feedback on your results? Just so I can share the results to others and they can have the benefit too. Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Some bad and some good advice A five minute quickie podcast Oh dear! experienced people saying things that they didn't think through. In a nut shell these people were saying go to a therapist but make sure that therapist has experienced the issue you're experiencing. They didn't mean having experienced working with but to of actually have had the issue. What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me explain - Do I need to have experienced what my clients are experiencing? That's what was being advocated by these 'experienced' people. So if that was right even though I know how to help manic depression/clinical depression I have to have experienced it myself? I have to fear every type of thing or do I need to know how to find the root cause and have the best and comfortable process to change that fear, let go of that fear. I'll explain more and hopefully give you advice to find the help you or one of your friend may need if you have an issue that is negatively affecting your life. It's not a long podcast but I couldn't let those

Making all of life richer A PDU Podcast We, I, cover so much in this podcast from the filters we use to experience the world to making different decisions, our value and our beliefs. We all made bad choices and done things we wish we hadn't or we keep on doing the same things that don't make out life good let alone great. We do want great don't  we - I know I do. Let me take you through how we filter out things we experience and filter in others and when we understand this it can really change the way you literally view your reality. From the world of NLP we'll understand how we communicate the world on the outside to the world on the inside. As usual we will go on the see ways we can develop or change these filters so we don't repeat so called 'bad' decisions and get to repeat more of the good ones making the process unconscious. I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and would love to have your thoughts and feedback on what you learnt. on how you changed what I discussed or simply how I

It's a gift unseen - a 5 minute quickie podcast Are you missing it ? This gift? You will need to open up your mind to problems, issues or failures and our unconscious minds' attempt to keep us from harm. Problems, issues or failures all seem to bring with them unwanted negative feelings and we look to get away from these as quickly as possible. Here's the thing - Are you only looking at the packaging or the gift inside? Because inside all of those problems, issues or failures is a gift and when we see and learn from that gift so many things happen. First the emotion, that negative feeling disappears and we get to to not have the same problems, issues or failures again.  This then spreads to other areas of your life and they get better too! You have to listen to this to get it all and I'll explain so you can use this and create better things for you in the future. I just might be talking to both of you - your conscious and unconscious mind. Let's learn together  :O) Oh! There's a whole lot of how to suggestion

Thinking without this is useless The 5 minute podcast Deep thinking, deep diving or simply taking time out to think are all part of personal development and all this is Awesome with a capital A. You really have to don't you? if you want to improve yourself and allow those dreams to come. We generally have a ritual for doing this, I know I do. Maybe it's making the room just right with music and quiet or it can be in  a cafe or library. The thing is the space doesn't have to be perfect it just has to be - be you! But and there's always a but......... In my earlier days of learning NLP and Hypnosis I met a great number of practitioners who studied and thought and read everything. They knew more than the trainers and their library was immense. Initially that both impressed me and overwhelmed me with a feeling of inadequacy then I saw the light. Yes they knew more than me but they didn't use what they knew in fact I don't know if they could even use the skills they could talk about intellectually forever. In a nu

Here's your- Being with your best friend - HYPNOSIS Yep I promised another hypnosis track and here's one I produced for myself with the thought of putting it on sale but I wanted to share it because I feel it will make such a difference to you. That's if you wish to accept this gift Please enjoy from the heart Paul

Another Ah Ha moment and I was listening If you have listened to FMQ 197 you will remember my struggle to listen and connect to my unconscious mind. Now I want share with you something that took this to another level - maybe when you listen to this personal experience you too may learn more about your connection to your best friend and listen more carefully. It all started when I got really motivated to get fitter and healthier and up my game in the gym. Then a series of things happened and I didn't see, hear or feel a connection - well feel may not be what I didn't understand and it was a painful experience. What happened was this ........................ well you will have to listen  :O) Now all of this has made me want share one of my hypnosis tracks that you will not find anywhere else and may be the trigger or tipping point to understanding and being closer to your best friend, your unconscious mind and where that will lead you is up to you. How can you get the hypnosis track - I'll give you all he detai

 How do you listen - to yourself? Why is it the obvious, the hiding in plain sight can be invisible? That's what I have just found out about myself, a personal share as it were. I looked back to how long I've been journaling and it has been over some 20 years and a recurring question I have noticed when looking back though my journals is around my struggle with listening to my best friend - my unconscious mind and then something happened and it became so much more clearer. It's this understanding, my learning what has been in front me and in front of you and we both missed it. You will have to listen to the rest of this podcast to find out what I am talking about. When you do you just might learn how you communicate to your unconscious best friend and how it connects to you and how we are connecting and communicating with each other at a deeper level. Now that's deep  :O) As always let me now if this has meant something to you or what you learnt at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Paul

The secret of making the right decision - an FMQ This might actually change your life - for the better that is! Neil Strauss, a writer and genuine nice guy, was on a recent YouTube clip I saw and I had to share this and put a little of the PDU Cloughie spin on it. I've taken this and applied it to decision making and I think you will find this will make a real difference and the enhance the results you get. Because it's based on your unconscious life values it means when you base your decisions on these values you're going o be motivated to achieve what you want at the deepest level. It's a quick and simple process that just seems to work seamlessly - Let me know, if you would be kind enough to share, your results, thoughts and achievements by adding this process to you personal 'tool box' by emailing them at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Walking through the world -How do you do it A slightly longer Personal Development Unplugged podcast Question: How do you walk in or though your world? Do you dance, stumble, skip, run, fall or dawdle??? I know it's a metaphor but let's explore together. Do you actually notice? Because normally we don't and it just happens and we miss it and there is so much to learn from it and the purpose for each way. All we have to do is notice and ask some questions so we really get to learn. I have so many questions on each of these different ways and I hope these questions spur you on to do the same and learn what we may be hiding from or going towards to or something completely different. Let's explore our life adventure and I'll share you some 'how to's'. In this podcast we can take time to learn to notice, notice in the moment or when the moments over. Whatever time or way we stop to learn is going to make yours and my life better and begin to create an unconscious habit of learning and creating better ways to enj

There's no F in talent A five minute quickie podcast Let's change your life just a little bit more (for the better) -Yep this is the place for encouragement to make positive changes in our, your, personal development. Yes this can be a little scary but the fear is really self imposed or imagined and when you get to go beyond your comfort zone - your familiar zone you'll find life is even more amazing than you can imagine! The thing I've been considering is what is your unique talent? Let's have a meander through my past and notice where felt I'd never be able to do what I do - how far it felt beyond me back then. You see you have a unique talent - The things you do that you think are easy and come so natural now, the wonderful ability to be curious and  learn and to imagine. Put these three things together and BooM!!! Have a listen and take up my challenge to dream, DREAM BIG Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback. If you have enjoyed this

 Sharing a Ah Ha moment - Doh! What are you working on? Confidence? Anxiety? you fill in the blank. I also hear peers say I did NLP on someone or Hypnosis on someone  - Nope that's not the way If you're kind enough to listen I'll share with you one of my biggest struggles. I have been having a real struggle lately working on ME, working on my best friend and things just haven't been as clear as I wanted. Then the AhHa! Try working WITH yourself Cloughie!! Where did that come from? I think I know, it's as if my best friend has been try to tell me and just wasn't getting it. Bless my best friend for sticking with me and I know yours' is sticking with you too. So.......................... Now it's time for me to simply (in simplicity there is genius) sit with me my 'You & I' - I'll explain about that later. I'll let you know how I get on and if you are brave enough :O) to share your thoughts and results of working WITH yourself, WITH your Confidence,WITH your Anxiety but really WITH your BEST FRIEND. Namaste
