Personal Development Unplugged

A podcast about a sad story we can use for a happy ending When I listen to a clients story it's as if they tell me what's the real problem without knowing. Not the issue they came in through the door with but the one that's causing the one they came in through the door with. They just don't know they know ;O) I've mentioned this story I heard from a man on the radio before in a past FMQ podcast, you know the shorter version of this podcast, and had forgotten I'd spoke about it and I have gone on into so much more deeper levels here with ways we can learn and use what we learn to help us, me and YOU, with the working through and letting go of our issues. So if you think you've heard this before you're both right and not right so stay tuned for some really good stuff we can use. Let me know what you think and as usual I hope that there's at least one thing you can take away from this and make a difference to your life. If you did get take aways from this or any other of the PDU podcasts please share with everyo

Empathy no way - well maybe this way A five minute quickie podcast I have always said I don't do empathy, I didn't think I did empathy with my clients. If empathy is being able to feel what another persons feeling then why would I need to feel what they're feeling when they have issues such as panic attacks, anxiety, depression and grief and .... well you fill in the blank. My mum, bless her soul, did empathy really well and people left their negative emotions on her shoulders - a heavy weight to bear. I love compassion and then I had a thought could I do both in a way that works and makes me feel light? and the answer was YES listen for a spell and I'll explain.

Dooo beee Doooo  -  a Fake it 'till you make it podcast Aaaaghhhhhh!!!!!! I'm still hearing people, people who I think should know better, talking and advising 'Fake it until you make it' Whaaaaaat! So I wanted to give you a way, not the only way, of acting As If but not 'acting' - being you AS IF. Why is this important? Well we all know that communication is not just the words that you use, it's not only the tone of those words, it's linked with your physiology. If your not aligned and congruent in what your communicating others will know you're faking it and you know any way which means you're not aligned anyway. It simply doesn't work. Remember you're always communicating even when you're not speaing so let's get it right and feel right. You are going to have to listen to get it  :O) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

I've created two additional tracks of the process in the podcast - Oooooo!! One is a hypnosis track - sit or lay back and enjoy and the other is the same process but I guide you through it consciously. The great thing about the process is that you can use it to explore your relationship with other things or people just substitute it's name e.g job/persons name/hobbie/side hustle/project/goal where I say money and Bob's your uncle.

Let's get better with money a longer podcast What is your relationship with money? Whether it's good bad or something in between this will give you something to think about. I've also created two additional tracks of the process give at the end of this podcast - Oooooo!! I thought I was ok with the way I say money and the value of it but Oh was I wrong! I'll tell you that story that had me really thinking and in a bit of a dilemma. It took my son to re-frame my value of money and has had great effect on my thinking ever since. This is not merely thinking or getting you to think of money my way it's an exploration of the way you think, your internal emotional value of what you do, money and richness. Seems a little deep when I write it but you know I keep things simple because I can't do complicated ;O) The great thing about the process is that you can use it to explore your relationship with other things or people just substitute it's name e.g job/persons name/hobbie/side hustle/project/goal where I say money

What about the small one - celebrate those - I bet you don't - and why should you? I'll tell you why in the 5 minute quickie podcast that actually is around five minutes. If you have a listen  you'll find out how to wallow, not get big headed, and get to your goals and outcomes quickly and easily - It's that 'Cloughie' guarantee again :O) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

How small is small? - a step that is Having heard a way of describing 'small steps'  that is 'baby steps' and it didn't really make sense and I wanted to share my way of knowing you are taking the right steps starting from 'baby steps' and progressing to get bigger and just as easy. It's not about ladders but more like stepping stones and the magic ingredient - it's not magic by the way - as Neville Goddard explained 'The feeling of the wish fulfilled' Let's get simple and make thing happen, achieve your goals (big or/and small) and create that reality you want for yourself. I promise I've made this in a really easy way to follow.

The secret of being in the flow state - podcast We've all been there, where time seems to stop, everything seems easy (even the difficult) and you're simply there, here in the moment. When we're in it we don't even notice we're in it. What's it? The FLOW state! But can we control ourselves to be in it as it seems such an unconscious process - absolutely! :O) By studying what is not the flow state we can learn how to use the 'not' to get into the flow. Let me, in this what was to a 5 minute quickie podcast but just got longer and better, explain what I found out about what causes us not to be in the flow state and how we can recognise it. Of course I'll throw in a couple of general examples and then we can go deeper into where we can use the process of being in the flow  and be aware of it consciously. Then the more you use this process the more unconscious it becomes. Imagine having the habbit of being present in the now and in the flow state - Awesome! As you continue to practice and review (remember that pr

How to UN-practice - podcast We all know practice makes perfect but it doesn't. If you really think about it nothing is or can be perfect - it, whatever it may be, can always be a little bit better. Practice actually makes permanent and whether you practice something well or badly that's what you will make permanent. When you are doing this unconsciously what happens? we just get better, the good stuff seems to get better and easier and unfortunately the not so good seems to get not so gooder more - worse that is. It got me thinking of what I have gotten better at and how I practiced and I'll share that with you and to my embarrassment I'll share what I have practiced to my detriment. I'll also ask you to think of and record your practices so we can do something about them using the same process as we created them. Plus I keep it, as usual, simple in approach and execution. Remembering in simplicity there is genius. It'll all make sense when you listen through the podcast, a slightly longer that normal 5 minu

This is literally life changing! A 5 minute (or longer podcast) I've been thinking about who you are today and who were you yesterday and before that and before that. I've also got a process that I'll explain. What would happen if you did a little review to acknowledge where you were back last week, last month or last - well you fill in the blank. I know you will be surprised that what we have taken for granted or purely not noticed. When you do review both little things and the larger things in life, in different contexts, you are measuring and what gets measured gets done and you will end up doing more from the knowledge and maybe inspiration. What would you learn if you went back, like I did, to my early days of NLP and Hypnosis training and the spin offs from your hero's journey? Get it down in our 'jenny' journal so you have a record and can then think even deeper. Doing this can lead to even bigger steps and bigger returns. So many fail to review and become aware of how far they have come and their drea

Yep! Here is your hypnosis I promised you in podcast #102 Letting go of the old you. As we constantly evolve with new learnings and understandings it's great to let go of the you that didn't have those capabilities and get to connect to the you that is you right now with them - the learnings and understandings.   You can repeat as often as you like and it's downloadable Tell your friends and enjoy Paul

Letting go of the old you What does this mean? - let me de-hypnotize you - let's get back to the real you and Oh!there's a hypnosis track to support this podcast. CANI constant and never ending improvement but in what direction, come with me and let's dig deeper. I think you will find this podcast a little counter-intuitive which when we specifically think like that we can often find some really interesting 'stuff'. Would you like the old you back? so many clients express that that's what they want, as they used to be and that sounds on first hearing as a good thing - but is it?I don't think so. Why? you have got to be asking. Well you have to listen and I'll tell you all. I'll be heading from the old you, along your hero's journey, to something that will feel so much lighter, an un-burdening which I'll also guide you through a lovely process. Then........ as a little way to make it easier I have recorded the process in a hypnosis track which you will see the link following this podcast. If you are already si

Thinking the opposite and procrastination A 5 minute podcast 'ish (well 9 minutes) Let's turn procrastination on it's head. We all, a generalization I know, suffer from procrastination and self sabotage and I'll share what I do to put things off. I'll also show and share something that will change you putting things off. The first thing is not to put of this process else the world will stop  ;o) You will need our 'Jenny' journal to explore even better ways to put things off - let's explore being the best putter offer in the world! I think they call this being counter-intuitive but in our special simple and genius way. I wonder how many wonderful things you will enjoy because of this little podcast? Hmmmmmmm.

Act like a BLANK A five minute podcast Here's a little, if not a BiG, bit of encouragement to get your goals, dreams and any outcome. Remember 'fake it until you make it'? and what's implied in that title? well here's a way to be it and make it! This is not about acting and not being yourself but being yourself as you would be when you get there. Maybe you can model - let me explain - not here but in the podcast -silly ;0) Because when you use your physiology you can change the way you feel and act, even the pictures you make in your mind which, when you do it, you get the new behavior. The behavior Oh! there's also a how to, well more than one how to, in the podcast Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

It's all about Ooodles! in a podcast Knowing you know more than you know - because you do and when you look back at things you know you will find even more things you didn't know. Doe that make sense? - probably not so to make sense you really do have to listen - it is a podcast you know  ;o) Let me make it just a little more clear. When you first learn something, because you don't know you only take in say the first level of information. Then as you listen again you know something about the subject which allows you to understand and learn the next level of learnings.

The what's in the detail - a five minute podcast Let's get rid of overwhelm Overwhelm of all those details and also overwhelm of the BIG picture We've all heard to saying 'the devil's in the detail' but is it or is it an angel in disguise? Let me share a recent bout of overwhelm and how by mixing the big picture and the details together made a massive difference and divert a would be disaster. I've found an app 'workflowy' that does help in both too. I'll also share a couple of questions used with 'Jenny' journal that I found really useful to ensure we see things clearly, stop the old self-sabotage and begin and end with motivation and a way to hold on to that feeling all the way through. It really doesn't matter if your goal is massive or a smaller more immediate one the same process applies and gets you the success you deserve    :0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

HELP ME - I'm coming out A five minute quickie podcast Let's 'come out' & 'Man UP!' 'Woman UP!' What's that mean? Let me share with you an example of someone who Came Out in a courageous way to encourage others to get help by telling of his personal mental health battles - (and you know I hate with a vengeance that term) The guy's name, Danny Rose a young footballer who I admire for his football skills and now more than ever for what he did and said. I'll also take a little metaphor that we can use to ensure we never let things get into overwhelm. Let's take a little inspiration from this story to make a difference to our lives, others lives and of course little old planet earth ;0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

What you've learnt is out of date - Really! A podcast of the longer variety ish Just because you learnt something a little while ago or even a long time ago is it out of date? I've heard by a couple of people of late and people I think that should know better - say that it is. Evolution of the human brain has taken a little while not just over the last few years. Hmmmmm. Yep I think they should know better. This is not to say we shouldn't strive to improve what we know but don't throw away what you already know that work. Let me share with you a recent client of mines' experience using simple 'stuff' I have explained here in previous episodes and teach in the first  couple of days in our trainings. Guess what? - They worked! So it's good to do an inventory of the things you have learnt and notice can we improve it and re-remember the process so you get to use it both consciously and unconsciously and when you get those great results CELEBRATE!!

Curiously interesting - in others and YOU another 5 minute quickie podcast Let me share a couple or so more questions that just assist you in staying calm when being put under pressure. We've all been asked difficult questions even direct questions asked to put you off or offend. Well these will help and when asked with a curiosity, alignment and  congruence they will take the asker inside to find a real answer of them and why they asked that question. Seems confusing and it is for me writing about this. In fact the questions are so simple and so much easier to listen to in this podcast. I started out in one direction and during the recording I had a mini 'Ahha' moment and took this in a direction that, well have a listen and find out. As usual it could change the way you act and re-act - in a good way - forever!  ;0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.
