Personal Development Unplugged

  Make my day - Successful!   A podcast of the unplugged variety Clint Eastwood gave a choice, well sort of, to "Make my day" and here we are looking to do just that. When you get this it will not only make your day it will make you week, your month, your year. Ultimately Your Success is all about taking on some sequences of creating a good day that when you look back upon you go "Wow!!! - What an awesome day" Let's explore and model when you have had such a great day in the past - Your behaviours - Your emotions - the pictures in your head and what you say to yourself. Let's find your criteria of a great day and make it better. As usual we will deconstruct this into simple steps and install them into your daily habits - to make them unconscious. Understanding that urgent 'stuff' is NOT the things to do first there are outcomes that take 20% of your effort and return 80% of your success - THE IMPORTANT STUFF. We'll think about a way to close your day and have a life outside of this and make that part of your

  A word of encouragement - a podcast We talked about your Hero's Journey (Adventure) #97 and I wanted to give you a further word of encouragement about continuing on your path and disregarding the 'Nay Sayers'. This is not about them or their misunderstandings and negative beliefs, in fact these have nothing to do with you! They are their misunderstands and negative beliefs and when you ignore them they will stay with them not you.

Your Hero's Journey - a supportive ramble unplugged podcast This adventure of personal development is your own hero's journey as depicted in Joseph's Cambell's book and sometimes we forget this and when obstacles come and get in our way, even blindside us, we can think about giving up. It's time to remember that you are the HERO in this adventure and you will grow and succeed and that's where this podcast goes back into my past. The past I had tended to forget and I hadn't realised I have been working on myself way before my introduction to hypnosis and NLP. It was good to re-remember this adventure and the teachers that came along. I'll tell you all about this and the effects on me and how each step that took me in leaps and bounds to where I am now. And....... it's not finished yet because if you haven't realised whilst you will return home from this Hero's Journey/Adventure you simply begin another. That's the great thing about embarking, once your in it your in it for life and it will be awesome! :0) Eve

The way forward - NOT knowing - a 5 minute quickie podcast   What's impossible? Do you know? Here's the thing you and me simply don't know enough to decide if something is impossible. Now this is the best backhanded compliment because it allows us to attempt and succeed in things that others (the Nay Sayers) said wasn't possible. Add to this I can't and haven't failed because I haven't given up and we're on a winner. I share a story of one of the originators of NLP and one of my own with mt dear MUM in both things that were said to impossible actually happened. What have you thought impossible in your goals and dreams and if you took on the beliefs"I don't know enough to know this impossible" and 2I can't fail because I won't give up" or 2There's always a way!" may just make them possible. Got to be worth going for? You may even succeed better than you can imagine. Know the WHY and you will find the HOW Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feed

Be honest & Get off your bum and do something A five minute quickie podcast I over heard something on the radio that made me think how wrong this is. You may think it's a little bit harsh but I really think if you take responsibility to let go of your issues it can be happen. It can happen quicker than you think providing you want to change and are prepared to do whatever it takes. Help to do this is so much closer than you think. I truly believe in the power of the unconscious mind to change how we feel right now, even are suffering right now and for you to live the life you imagine for yourself. I'll explain all that I mean in the podcast, please take the time to listen because even if you don't have an issue you may know someone who does and maybe, just maybe, there may be a snippet of gold here that can make the difference that makes the difference. I hope so ;0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback. If you have enjoyed this or

Following on from podcast #96 Let's use this to kick start our dreams here is, as promised your hypnosis track to go through discomfort and create things just the way you want and probably better that that. Be well and shine brightly Paul Please remember to share, subscribe and leave a review in iTunes and Castbox

  Let's use this to kick start our dreams Let's start feeling uncomfortable as an easy way to springboard you success. Yes I know we (I) normally want to walk away from that feeling but counter-intuitively we are going to use it as it has a wonderful message for you and in achieving your dreams. I guess your listening to these podcasts because you want to achieve your dreams, complete your missions and attain your ultimate vision. As you go about this we will sometimes not feel so safe or a little anxious but we can learn from it and use it to our advantage. Let me share with you a recent event that needed me to change. It required me to make more than one change and took me into places where just thinking about them made me feel uncomfortable and yet the results - well I'll share that with you. And as usual everything I had fear about became a false fear when I went through it and the way I felt after starting? well I'll share that with you too :0) Confusion also came into play and as I tell our students c

  Keep out! It's my imagination   a 5 minute (or so ) podcast Your imagination is precious so "put a keep out sign on your imagination!" Albert Einstein. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't or it won't work or that's silly because your ideas and imagination is yours and your alone. Everything you see was in someone's imagination before it became real. Maybe if you had a little (or big) imagination note book that said 'keep out!' on the cover. Because when you are given an idea that sparks your imagination make a note so they don't fly away and disappear. When you start doing this it's as if these ideas start to come more often and feed of the others and can lead to special things happening. It worked for Walt Disney ;0) This all came from reading a Wayne Dyer book quoting Albert Einstein and sharing it and now I'm sharing with you with a few of my thoughts and wouldn't it be great if you did the same. The integrated field of learning!!!! You may wish, only when you have the time and inclination, to s

  The not so secret of Focus and Success   A five minute (or so) podcast You know I hate secrets which aren't. I think when people use that headline of "The secret of getting......." you fill in the blank they simply using this to entice and is false. So here we will blast all those out of the water and show them for what they are. You see I was caught by this technique again! Yup, I still fall for it because I believe in the good of people. Then this belief in people was fully restored, as I was shared a link to an article written by NATE GREEN in which he really shares his personal way of organizing his day - not making it glossy and over selling - a total honest sharing. I love it! I'll even show you a 'secret' way of focusing :0) and if you practice it you will get better and better really quickly and then use your creativity to think how you could adapt the process to say a project, a problem or a goal. It's up to you how far you can take it. And as this all came about from others sharing what do you kno

Your free hypnosis track for learning from the future and using that knowledge right now. No more "some day we'll look back and laugh" let's laugh now! No more "I didn't know it at the time but it was the best thing that happened" because you have the best thing right now!   To get you free track go to paulcloughonline.com/podcast  and become a part of the PDU community too  :0)

  Let's laugh now before we look back - the podcast Let's feel good and look forward so we don't have to wait to look back and laugh. Yes I've created another hypnosis track that incorporates the process I discuss. Have you ever had a stressful even in your past that you said something like "it was the best thing that ever happened to me" yet at the time of the event it really didn't feel that great - How does that happen and does it do anything for you after the event when you most needed something at the time? Let's have a look. I'll share some of my stressful events and their results and explore how we can create a better result and feel better and not so stressful at the time. "Really Paul you can do that?" Yep I think so and like I said I've created a free hypnosis track to boot ;0) Come with me on what was my adventure and discover a process you can use to not only get you out of that stressful and anxious situation but to use in the getting of you goals. It's a lovely process you can use as it is or a

  Curiously interesting - in others and YOU   A five minute quickie podcast I want to find a bit more about you and the curious thing that happened during this podcast is that the questions I pose began to be answered by me in a way I didn't expect. So I have 4 questions I want to share which can challenge us and to make us work to find the answers by going inside. The thing is you have to be genuinely curious to find the answer. They all start if someone (Or YOU) ask a difficult question of you and you would like to know what's behind the meaning of that question. Yes this is a little confusing until you listen and find that you can communicate at a deeper level. You may need your 'Jenny' journal to dive in deeper into your thoughts and learn more than you expect. This, if you practice will become an immensely powerful habit and tool. How far will you take it? :0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback. If you have enjoyed this or any ot

More special words - CTBW a five minute podcast Four words that may just change your problems or issues A throw away line from a really nice guy, Ed Latimer, speaking on the Jordon Harbinger show (a podcast) and four little words that lit up my mind from what's the worst that can happen and flying off into the future and imagining all the things that haven't happened. What were these 4 special words? 'Could this be worse?' and they bring you right back into the now becasue the worst hasn't happened and you can see things for what they really are and allow you also ask 'what can do to make it better!'. Now you can form a outcome and take intuitive ACTION! And to ensure you also eliminate overwhelm write down your thoughts so you can work out a way and learn without it swirling around in your mind. 'What is the smallest baby step I can do now to resolve this?' Then it's just a matter of using those 5 keys to success we discussed in an earlier podcast. Side note to you - If you want to be able to search throug

Here are your two NLP/coaching tracks to get both distance and flip that fear/anxiety/worry on it's head. Please enjoy the simplicity and the empowering results. I think you will love them and will use them again and again for different contexts and issues. Shine Brightly Paul

  Let's get rid of fear - Easily   A personal development Unplugged podcast Yep Let's dive into fear/anxiety/worry and find a couple of easy - I really do mean easy - ways you can use right now to reduce that negative feeling and get to see a way forward. That seems a BIG claim but it isn't if you are prepared to do whatever it takes and that starts by simply listening to this podcast and you will get to understand that theses emotions and behaviours have a positive intent - even if it doesn't feel that way. I'll tell you about a couple of times in my past where I felt a horrible fear and how I learnt how to use the intention to find a way to overcome the fear by learning from it and not pushing against it. I also understood how my unconscious mind used fear to help me and when I learnt how to access other emotions and behaviours and take aligned and congruent action. Sometimes, maybe always, when we experience fear we need distance. We can float out above the bubble we were in and see the problem/issue f

  Here's the 'HOW TO' to get your dreams   A five minute podcast Inspired by my middle son's, Luke,brilliant video that suddenly appeared on Facebook and reminded me of how we don't need to know the 'HOW' before we embark in succeeding in getting our dreams to come into fruition- The how, the process, the way we're going to achieve our dreams. This not knowing and seemingly needed how we are going to get our dreams stops so many from starting and ultimately stops the achieving, experiencing the success in it's tracks and guess what? YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE HOW!!!!!!!!!!! You can search Luke video and I'll also give you example of mine where I, Joseph (my youngest son) have reached our goals without the faintest idea of knowing the how before we started. So what do you need then? Simply a burning desire to create and achieve your dream/goal/outcome and be prepared to do whatever it takes and use the tools I share here in these podcasts and the FREE Hypnosis tracks. When you understand the WHY, the why

  Let's get ready - to succeed - a 5 minute podcast If you're like me we can kid ourselves into thinking we have taken time out for deep thinking or attending to an issue when really we have only given it lip service and white washed over it. I know I do this because as I was writing in my journal this morning I told myself this and I knew what I had written was true. It was the best kick up the pants I've had for a long time. But something more came from this metaphorical kick up the bum - I was reminded of a process I developed when I was in a dark place that really turned my corner and I was also reminded of how I could adapt this process for this very situation. A BIG shout out to my unconscious mind, my best friend, for coming to my aid just when I needed - As always ;) So let me share with you this experience and the process to come out of it. I really believe this will help you achieve what you want in life - Yep I know, another big statement - but it's true Shine brightly Paul Please remember you c

  Only you can change - your environment that is Why is it that some continue to have the same problems over and over again even though they change the relationship/job/you fill in the blank over and over again. You may know that person really well ;) . Which all goes to prove that changing the environment doesn't work. But does it? I used to think so until I learnt this - 'When you evolve everything in your world has to evolve or putting another way when you change everything changes including your environment - YAY! Let me explain what I mean and how we can use this so do don't keep repeating those relationships/jobs/you fill in the blank and create the world you want ti live in and we can join in it too. Plus, as usual, I'll give you ways to explore and use this in simple easy to use unplugged steps.

  Developing pleasure and reducing pain This sharing came from a tiny thought I had in my Journal this morning, which tome is amazing. Reducing pain, emotional pain of supposedly failures (I don't believe in - No pain No gain) and allowing the pleasure of achieving who we really are to flourish and create a world that will make you shout it from the metaphorical roof tops. :0) I've taken a little bit more that 5 minute of your time but I think when you listen you will know it's been worth it. I talk about what I discovered about myself and my not achieving what I want and come up with a process that allows us to learn from the pain of not doing without ever having to feel it or go through it. It's also so simple which to me is the measure of genius - not me, the process! I've even offered to record the process separately if you want it - all you have to is let me know through email or twitter ( see below for the links). It all starts from that experience of saying or thinking to ourselves "IF ONLY". You re
