Personal Development Unplugged

There's a pebble in my shoe! a podcast We've all had the experience of putting up with a pebble in our shoe, trying to ignore it and we try to keep on ignoring it but it just stays there and is always in the corner of your mind. This is a real experience and it's also a metaphor for those issues we try to ignore and they don't disappear do they? Let me give you a couple of my personal examples, one of which changed the way I work with clients. It was my unconscious mind trying to communicate with me and give me guidance and it's only when I addressed that pebble, listened, I found out something really important. So what are you ignoring, what's that metaphorical pebble in your shoe trying to tell you? Let's get our 'Jenny' journal and explore. let's take time out and really listen with all our senses - seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling - and connect and learn. I'll go through so many things you may learn and what to do in a simple yet powerful way. When you do that niggle, that pebble will ass

They are so annoying until we learn - the 5 minute podcast Oh this may be a painful one because what I'm going to tell you may just strike a chord but not always a pleasant one. You know we all meet people as we go about our world and they just annoy you - they just grate! It's when we can pin point what about them that grates, sets us off we actually learn what in us is there too. They have been sent not to annoy us but to teach us what we need to work on - dare you be so honest? Come on, have a listen and as usual have our 'Jenny' journal at hand because this is where we can look in the mirror and the subtle adjustment we make can be and make a massive difference and when you do those people seem to disappear. When the student's ready the teacher appears ;0) Shine brightly Paul ps If you're getting this post via your email click on the title to get the podcast Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Practicing to failure - NOT - the podcast. Yep it's what we do practice things in our mind to make things worse, what can go wrong and even 'wronger' and with our wonderful ability to imagine, that's right our imagination. Doing this can and does stop us from experiencing the adventure we dream of. What a bummer! You see right now, this very moment, we're ok and it hasn't happened so let's create a way to make sure the future we dream of happens. Happens in a way that we enjoy and even exceeds our wildest dreams. It's totally possible so let's learn how. It's not rocket science, unless you're a rocket scientist ;0)  , as usual let's break this down into simple ways because we know by now 'In simplicity there is Genius'. We're going to use the very same skill we use to make things worse and that stop us from doing things because it's not the skill that's not working it's the way in which we're using it -Doh! Let me guide you to use your imagination and visualization to create the life you desire. Please don't

Life - and changing what's important to you - the 5 minute podcast Why do we wait for something to happen to us, or others, for us to think and change what's important to us? What is important to us are our values and our values, along with our beliefs, and these run our world and create our reality. If we can change our values when these events occur in our life why wait for the event in the first place let's change now for the better without delay. In just 5 minutes I bet I can get you to think differently and start running your world differently better and blow your reality into another realm. Don't believe me? Have a listen.

The five minute Quickie Podcast - In knowledge there's power - Really? So having all this knowledge is a way to have some power in your life, yes? maybe well - No You can have a whole lot of knowledge or learnings but without the magic step it can be quite useless, especially in this world of your  personal development and creating the life you want for yourself. This short podcast is aimed at me to get me doing stuff, taking a big bit of action and I'm guessing if you listen you may find it's also aimed at you too :0) Shine brightly and please do share with your friends there's a email subscription at the side here or better still subscribe through iTunes by hitting the iTunes logo over there -> catch me or find me on twitter @pcloughie   Paul  

The art of a great question - the podcast Oh first an apology - I uploaded the same podcast twice - Doh!!!!!!!!!! so here's another fast on the heals and it's all about the questions we ask ourselves - The good ones and he not so good. Andrew Fortstoefel inspired this podcast by walking over 4000 miles (not the 400 I said in the podcast) and on his journey he asked questions and listened. The questions we ask ourselves can create heaven or hell - a little dramatic you might say but it's true. Let's explore this a little deeper and find out what we can do to create that heaven. If you ask the right questions but fail to listen and listen with all your senses, well.........? So it's about asking, listening and then learning from the process. You will really change your world if you go for this and I'll give you a few examples in my life and some ways you can excel and be the best you can be and more importantly enjoying being the best you can be and then repeat it even better ;0) enjoy and shine brightly.

Fibs or lies it really doesn't matter what you call them because they're still false. I want to give you personal examples of this, the fibs I told both myself and others. Yes I told these and believed in them and it's only until now that I've spotted them. Why am I telling you this? Hmmmm. Well maybe you will begin to see and hear the fibs you're telling yourself and to find out why you do it. It's when you acknowledge these fibs and the intention behind them you realise so many things - what you have actually achieved, what you will be able to do without these stories you tell. If you find they are negative find ways to get that intention with better behaviours and experience wonderful things. It may take a few minutes with our trusted 'Jenny' journal but you'll find it is so worth it. Have more fun you can stand  ;0)

Oh we've all had these days - down days - whatever we or whatever we touch seems to go oh so badly. Here's one of mine and what I did to do something about the way felt. In effect I did what I advise you to do, yep following my own advice (for once ;0)  ) When I did this I discovered things I hadn't seen before, hadn't noticed before and was literally a breath of fresh air. You don't have to stay in this down state and with some gentle care and gentle action and you may just surprise yourself - I did. Please enjoy and shine brightly.

Do you really know the words that come out of your mouth? Think about it for a moment and when you do you will realise words come out unconsciously unless your simply repeating by rote. So how can we ensure the words we say are the words we meant to say because we've all had experiences of saying what you didn't want to say. Let's have a quick chat to see how( or hear ) we can become clearer in what we think and say. ;0) Please enjoy and shine brightly.

Time for a bit of honesty - so I thought I'd start with myself and I'll let you in on the stories I not only told myself but told others and I believed these stories, I just realised they're fibs. The more I thought of this the more fibs I realised I had been telling. The more I thought the more counter examples I found - From learning hypnosis, NLP in USA, personal retreats to taking myself away to be just with myself. What stories do you tell? Maybe you could ask - What's the intent? and what can I learn? and even more importantly what stories are really me? If you look even harder what have you achieved and what results have you enjoyed by taking the leap? I learnt a lot by thinking and telling you of my lies I had been telling myself and I think you will too if you take a little time out to explore. ;0) Please enjoy and shine brightly.

have you noticed 'to do' lists get longer and longer? The fact that 'to do' lists, in my opinion, don't work anyway and even if you disagree here's a way - A way to make your busy day successful and give you a feeling of achievement. No more days when you feel you have done nothing, we've all experienced those - haven't you? This is not new, I didn't think of it first, but because it's simple it's overlooked. Have a listen, you won't be disappointed if you take this up and you'll learn it in the next 5 minutes - The 5 minute quickie podcast. Please enjoy and shine brightly.

Are you the smartest or nearly smartest in your group? Nice feeling isn't it? One of the biggest fish in the pond? Feels good doesn't it? If you answered yes to any of those you need another group or a bigger pond. It doesn't mean you have to leave and never return as some seem to tell you,. Oh no, you recognize you're an example to others, mentor and supporter. It does mean you need a place that will stretch you, where you can follow the example of others more experienced, model them, be mentored and supported and what you learn can be shared to others. This is one of the foundation stones of generative learning, sharing without losing what you share to have it grow. All this in just 5 minutes Phew!!!! Please enjoy and shine brightly.

A little deeper podcast, well deep for me! Something made me think and I feel it may make you think too. What does life want from you? What does life give to you? Do we actually take the time to notice? I know, when it was brought to my attention, that I really haven't taken enough time to consider this. I do believe when you do, life's learnings or messages become clearer and letting us in what's available to us. Then it's up to us to decide whether or not to act and take advantage of these opportunities. Maybe we're not ready, although the universe/multiverse seems to think so. Maybe it's life challenging our limiting belief and showing us a way we haven't thought possible. Some may call it coincidence or serendipity and it may just be life pulling or nudging us back on course to our vision - even if we don't fully understand what that is YET! Let's be more observant of places and opportunities to live our lives with passion - More passion than you can stand! Please enjoy and shine brightly. Paul paul@paulc

Sub-modalities - want to play with them too?! It's a amazing the changes that can be made to the way we feel when we do. Let me show you how and I think you'll find plenty of things you can do - more Motivation, more good feelings made even better. if you have a memory that really annoys you, for what ever reason then make it smaller, darker and further away, really small, really dark and so so far away and notice the annoyance just disappears. Have a play. Enjoy and sense brightly. Paul paul@paulclough.co.uk @pcloughie (twitter) Please let me know how this has helped you and what else you like to be included in future episodes

Following on from child proteges, where are you now? where did you start? Let's check on our progress on the inside. Because experts that you look up to were novices when they started, instead of being in awe, we can learn from them quicker than they took to learn what they know. Let's go back to where you were, re-assess where you want to be, and check in how far you've come along this adventure. Also let's remember that there's also even more to experience than we thought there was when we started - awesome isn't it!!!

Can you change a memory? - You betcha! Negative memories to neutral and good memories to brilliant ones. From the days of Saba tooth tigers and Fred Flinstone negative memories helped your ancestors stay alive and hence you're here. It's now time to change that cos there are no Saba tooth's to get you. Let's learn how we make a memory, how to change them if needed and create a wonderful now that creates a wonderful past. Please enjoy and shine brightly.

What can we lean from those wonderfully skillful child proteges? Instead of just being overawed by them let's have a think what enables them to be as good as they are. They started, like you, like me with no prior knowledge or understanding of the skills we want to learn. They also had something we sometimes don't and that's not having the limiting beliefs that we adults seem to have. Can we change them, these limiting beliefs? - absolutely!!! Have a listen if this interests you. Enjoy and sense brightly.

It always gets me that one line in a book can jump out at you and make you think. That's what has happened when I began reading 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius. If we just did this it would change the way we speak, act and feel. What is this? I hear you ask. Well have a listen and find out for yourself. I think it will make you think as much as it did me.
