Personal Development Unplugged

  And I thought this was going to be boring I really got into this podcast so much that five minutes became 12 Slowing down to speed up is the subject and twinned with wanting what we want right now. It seems we want to rush from here to there and when we do we miss out on the adventure that's in between. We start with memory muscle, using our body, our muscles to speed up by slowing down. Practice make Permanent (not perfect ) and slow practice makes unconscious permanence. It's a fact! and it makes the things we want to get good at easy and then faster than we could imagine - Oh happy DaZe ;) Add to this Getting into the right state (yep I know I've been bangin' on about this forever) and setting the right intention ( yep bangin' on about this too). Now here's the thing - what would it be like if we practiced these slowly (NOT rushing) so we get them in the muscle, I love that, getting the process 'IN THE MUSCLE' we begin to start getting what we want to achieve or solve automatically. This is simply the

When fear is just the wrong behaviour - the 5 min podcast Understanding intentions of our emotions is so important and when you do you can really understand your best friend, your unconscious mind, is doing it's very best for you and when it realises what it's doing is in conflict with that intention change becomes really easy. Here's a real life experience of a client of mine who was really having trouble with panic attacks and anxiety. This was really upsetting her preparation for exams. It wasn't until we fully understood the intent for all this fear and anxiety that it all made complete sense and even showed her where guilt also played a part in her unconscious minds' efforts to have her do well. As usual it all comes down to simplicity and taking confusing complicated things out of the way. Please listen, even if you don't have this type of issue, the principle remains the same for other issues ;) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedba

To follow podcast #86 Not another NYR Here's your NLP process for setting your state. When you learn to do this you reach and accomplish tasks, goals and dreams so much quicker and better, bigger than you can imagine. You can use this process like all the other tracks as many times as you want although after a time you may find yourself unconsciously being in the right state without thinking :)   Here's your link to the track www.paulcloughonline.com/podcast   Shine Brightly Paul     Personal development [Unplugged] [podcast][NLP][Hypnosis][self development]self improvement][awareness]

Not another NYR - a longer podcast We hear so much about it's a new year and time for a new you and it really 'p's me off. For a start there isn't a new you to get you're already here and it's the real you that we can find and live! Another thing- why just in the new year? does that mean there is no other time? what tosh. You can dream, set goals and be the change you want to be starting right now - any time - and when you start to uncover the real you you will find that your dreams and goals not only happen faster but bigger and better than you ever imagined. Now that's worth working for - it is, isn't it? Let's start right now with the most simple process that no one tells you about. You will need #jennyjournal a little bit of me time and BOOM! you will be on your way. As an added help and on top of showing you how I have added another (yes that's around 23 now) hypnosis track so you can learn both consciously and unconsciously ;) Oh HaPpY Daze.

  Let's be honest even if it hurts - a podcast   You only get out what you put in or what you really want. An old saying which I've heard for ages but this time I heard it I let it sink in and I decided it was time to be really honest. You can fool some people but you cannot fool yourself! It's a little painful  - it was for me but the other side came good and positive feelings.   Yep,  we're using our jenny journal to set and understand your intention. You can explore the purpose of having this intention - The 'why' and begin to see and feel our values, passion and motivation around our dreams. When we do this we make getting and surpassing our dreams and goals easier than you can imagine. This as usual seems far too simple and it is so simple yet so powerful which is at the core of this unplugged personal development podcast. Join in and let's change ourselves into our real me and be the change we want for others.   Shine brightly Paul   Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, re

A simple step to get your dreams Every adventure starts with a first step and reaching and realising your dreams is no different. If we were to look back at our previous results, how did we fair in achieving our dreams? Did we fail? Well we got results if not what we really wanted. If you learn from these results and never give up you can and will get there :) We may need to look a little deeper into what we did that didn't work and be honest with the amount of energy you put into getting your dream. Here's a way to engage loads of energy into a specific and smaller part of your dream. Real intense effort over a short amount of time and banish procrastination and overwhelm. Once you have taken that small step the next one will just follow on. One small action step followed by the next until you reach your goal or dream. If you need more let me know and we'll expand in a loner podcast - email me paul@paulclough.co.uk There's also a NLP/hypnosis track that goes with this and you can get it ( and some 20 other t

You will be what you see - a podcast You're a different person today than you were yesterday and I hope I can help you be a different 'you' tomorrow. If you, like me, get a little anxious of this and what you find when you're doing this, I'd like you to remember this is just an invisible barrier and the results are magnificent! Let's break down and throw away the mystique and create the magic of personal change work, where you will just seem to get lucky, experience co-incidence and the wonder of serendipity. We're surrounded by so much noise and just when I was surrounded by noise I heard one sentence that made me stop and think deeply. It made me mull over my past, who was there? what did I see? and what was influencing me back then that created what and where I am now. I'll share with you my thoughts and experience (not too pretty) and my behaviours then which were so different to the way I am now - At least I hope so. If I've changed so much - how did that happen? Follow me in my meanderings of how we

Making Quality decisions Two great ways to make GREAT decisions and shared by two different people (Derek Sivers & Kyle Maynard) Use either one on their own but when used together can be outstanding, although I personally prefer the second. Hearing these and understanding them intellectually is all well and good but the real proof of the pudding is in trying them in real life. Shortly after hearing these ways of deciding My youngest son and I had to decide on a project we planning together and a 'HELL YES!' wasn't appropriate we used the later model and it really made us think harder to come to the right decision and then allowed us to think of ways that may change the result. The best thing for me is that both these two ways are so simple and deserves their place in our unplugged personal development YAY! :) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Damn teachers! a five minute podcast     Doesn't matter where you are or how much you know things happen in life that bite you on the bum. This happened again to me just the other day and made me cross. Let me tell me what it was. I was listening to a supposed expert saying and assuming things which was clearly wrong and not a little condescending. I listened further even though I wanted to turn it off. I thought of confirmation bias and to learn we have to look and listen to other thoughts that do do align with mine. That's when the teacher turned up or more specifically the learnings turned up. What were these learnings ? well you'll have to listen to the podcast and find out.      :) I'll give you a little clue - It's all about assumptions we make too quickly and how we can think differently. Let's learn not to fall into the trap and use what we see, hear and learn - wherever it comes from.

  Flooding in the right way And there's a hypnosis track I've created for this, simply go to paulcloughonline.com/podcast - it's free Yay! Does flooding your fears work? When it does I guess the result is good even if the process stinks (IMO) When it doesn't I believe it makes things worse than when you started. Knowing the results are inconsistent will not, to me, will create the best emotional state to start a change session and I want a state of at the least 'it could be possible' and therefore 'I'm prepared to do whatever it takes' and an imagined how I WANT it to be. The thing is I know you have all the skills you need inside and you have a great imagination. If you can't imagine having a great imagination just begin to dream starting small. So if you have an issue let's start from a different place and wonder how can I use this opportunity - yep opportunity!!! starting from here everything has to be different. We'll even start with a ridiculously easy and ridiculous way to imagine going through that

Doing something small that's big - the FMQ podcast  Doing something with a dynamic effect! Whooeeee! And knowing that you will never know - what is all this about you're probably thinking. This all came about from watching a fitness video on Youtube = Jeff Cavelier is guy of Athleen-X. I really enjoy his thoughts as he, like me, looks for the cause and not the effect and makes a difference. The difference this time that he never realised the effect he was causing to one person until the contacted him and the results were brilliant. After you listen to this I wonder what effects you have on the world and the people you meet with your actions and intention. You know the ripples will go far and wide but you will never know how far and how wide. One thing for sure is they will go further than you will ever know!

Focus and Imagination - the 5 minute podcast What's the worst that can happen? That's what we think when we have a problem - don't we? We have a brilliant skill that we use to make things worse! What would happen if we used this skill and created solutions? Yep we can do this just a good as the other way just with a little practice and direction and intention. Let's also use our RAS (reticular activating system) and begin to notice opportunities that are present and help us get our goals and dreams. We just need to focus on the right thing(s).

If you're suffering right now? - The let me help podcast Firstly this is not just for those who are suffering, needing help and feeling down, depressed, anxious or any other negative emotion even if you're not you will find this useful to help others who you notice are or sometimes these things come along and blindside us. Let me tell about some of my clients and their issues, how desperate they were and how they changed. I'll share some more about me and a couple of issues I've faced and survived ;0) . All of these changed my perspective of what we are capable to change and how quickly and easily the process was. They changed their lives and allowed me to change mine and my enthusiasm and confidence in the work I do. This podcast will not just be stories that leave you in wonder but with no path or process to follow - I'll never do that. I will guide you with a lot of thoughts and processes you can use right now. Please let me know any specific issues you would like me to address and offer ways, processes or

And they called it mental health the FMQ podcast Do you like the term 'Mental Health Issues' - I don't! Is it a positive description, a specific description or does it make you think the worst? I believe we should call our issues what they are, not worse and not exaggerated one way or the other. let's have a chat and know how quick we can change our behaviours because that's ALL they are.

Three special answers the FMQ podcast This podcast came from a very small but one the most important questions I ask when I work with clients. Then I thought, if this is an important question in my change work, then why don't I use this outside the therapy room. No reason at all was the answer. Let me go through the question and the possible answers and how you too can use them in finding solutions to any issue or decision, and it certainly does not have to be therapy base problems. I'll also take you a little further to ensure when the answer is YES how to make sure and all you need is a little bit of imagination which I know you have in abundance. I wonder what else happens in the therapy room we can use with everyday goals and outcomes. Everything is so simple and as we quote 'In simplicity there is genius' Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Focus, harmony and misdirection The Personal Development Unplugged Podcast With a Inner Mastermind Group Hypnosis track   src="https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/6020392/height/360/width/450/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/" height="360" width="450" placement="top" theme="standard" Focus is a great tool for our personal development providing you don't lose sight of the big picture. We need a harmony between the two. I'll tell you a little story how too focused can allow you to be misdirected and believe in magic. This, being totally focused, can be a way we lose track of our goals because we get trapped in the detail and don't see how and when we get off track. in effect allowing ourselves to be misdirected. Let me explain ways in which we can get advice for both our big picture and the detail using NLP and an idea from the book 'Think and Grow Rich' creating your own Master Mind group. I'll even give an example of how use the proce

Learning from dolphins - what next? - a podcast let's change our lives and all those around you! And from dolphins ;0) This a slightly longer 5 minute quickie but I think you will find this unusually interesting. So how much are you appreciated? Are you being told how much your're wanted, needed, missed etc. etc. Let's turn that around on it's head - How often do you tell others they are appreciated? Do you remember 'The Feedback Sandwich'? If you do you will know it didn't work, in fact it mainly had the reverse effect. So................. Let's learn from Dolphins Have a listen and you may well learn something that will change both yours and all those around you. If you take on the information I share not only will appreciate for who you are, you will also be the one that spread appreciation in ripples that o further than you can imagine.

My rant on how long!!! - A 5 minute podcast I makes me so cross what some people say how long things, like making changes in your life , take. Where do we get these myths? And if you believe them they can act like a post hypnotic suggestion and you believe without questioning or knowing why. Let's break these old misguided thought virus's and begin to be the example of quick and easy change  ;0) If you do here old myths spoken as the truth ask 'how do you know', 'who actually said that and how did they know?' 'where's your data?' or simply look for counter examples - they are everywhere! Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Winning and losing mindset - Really? - a podcast Let's dis-spell that saying 'Winners never quit and quitters never win' It's more about a winning mind set, a mind set that makes good decisions and learns from all results - the good ones and the not so good. What is the difference between winners, losers, quitters in real life not just in sort. maybe it's all about stretching ourselves and keep improving our performance (in life and our goals) Let's have a look, a chat and remind ourselves of how we can achieve our goals or realise there's something better and to seize the opportunities that present themselves. I also want to give you a thought that some losers actually win and quitters can be an ultimate winner. Let's take this to our own personal development and identify where we can quit and win. Quit procrastination, fear or anxiety. There's even a little plug for my 'FREE YOUR LIFE FROM ANXIETY PROGRAM' Instead of losing and quitting we can also look at having a winning mind set that encompasses so muc
