Synopsis
A podcast for those wanting personal development but want it made simple and easy to understand and more importantly use, take action and make a difference to your life and the world you live in.If you want to change the way you feel and the way you act and react. If you have negative emotions, behaviours, that you want to lose forever and create something special in your life then I think you will like what you hear.This genre of self-improvement, self-development and mastery of your mind has, I believe, been made over complicated and secretive and here I am de-constructing the processes into their simple forms that we can all understand and easily use. Theres no interviews just little ol me ;0)Who am I and what do I do?Paul Clough.I now love helping making changes in people and guiding them to create the life they really want. A personal look at me: The above sentence was not always the case and being the best in the financial realms of the building industry was my aim and getting there by any means. I now know this is, and was, the worst way ~ even if I did make director of one of the largest building companies in Cambridge by the age of 30. One of the major realisations came on my first ever training in hypnosis. I found that its not a win lose world and that a win win is only a low basis to live. Being true to your beliefs and coming from a place of integrity where service is paramount. This understanding together with lots of NLP skills helped create my last partnership in the building industry grow from a turnover of £800k to £16m in less than twelve years and that can only be done with giving more than expected. Another shaping of me came from two traumatic events in my life that happened within six months of each other which created a number of major changes in me and by beliefs in what is possible. I have written about my experience and how I dealt with it but more importantly it really showed me my love for my three boys and theirs for me and resulted in the step up to become a trainer of NLP (which I never intended) and my close and exciting work with two of my sons. In supporting Joseph and help create change in people in our trainings and his wonderful life changing Be your potential weekend and with Luke the continuing development of Cambridge Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis processes. My relationship with my third son Daniel just keeps getting better and better too. Not knowing how good I had become in change work in the beginning I generally studied, practiced and saw clients then things started to happen when I started to work following just my instincts. Two clients come to mind both in effect dying from the effects of what was happening to them and the way they felt and within one and two sessions respectively not only won the will to live they changed virtually in front of my eyes and being apart of that process was and is the best feeling alive. The above are just three of many brilliant learnings I have had in my life.The more formal bit Paul CloughI am a Trainer and Master Practitioner of NLP and Hypnosis and am passionate in assisting those who want to reach their full potential and his special skills form a unique foundation for success. I constantly seek and develope new skills and learnings through advanced levels of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy , Hypnosis and to improve everyone I work with.I have an understanding of the mind/body connection which enables me to create in my clients the difference that makes the difference ~ from excellence to outstanding.For those that want qualifications:Certified Trainer and Consultant of Neuro-Linguistic ProgrammingCertified Master Practitioner of NLP & Time Line TherapyCertified Master Hypnotist and HypnotherapistTogether with Luke and Joseph I have consistently strived and succeeded to create ways to improve peoples lives and give new beliefs of whats possible.

#62 Reflections Hmmmmm
23/05/2017 Duration: 21minLike the opening 'Drop'??? Reflections - what am I talking about? well to reflect, to think about our emotions and then more importantly to reflect and learn AND then act. So I've looked in the mirror and found a personal reflection and decided to share it with you. So what could you reflect on and how? Well never one to leave you hanging I'll give you my two pennies worth on different hows. But it's not just about reflecting, one of the most important things is setting your intention and being in the right state of mind. The state of mind I'm using is curiosity (you can substitute any other that you feel would be better for you) and I'll show you how to do both. Try it this way then adapt it to your intuitive way and make it better. If you do please share your changes with me so I can let everyone else know. Look out for #62.1 the exercise that makes sense of it all Enjoy and feel brightly.

#57 It's my choice to feel this way
12/04/2017 Duration: 26minDigging deeper into how and why we feel the way we do - Why because we have a choice. We, you and I, choose to feel the way we do. Choose the emotions that we either like or dislike. Not that I'm saying you choose consciously to feel negative, it's an unconscious process. Which means we have to dive into that realm to find the solution, are you ready to dive? So if you're feeling negative and we have the ability to choose then why not choose to feel different. The thing is if we try to change from one emotion to another and they are too far apart it can be really difficult. This is where our digging deeper comes in and I'll share with you how I overcame this dilemma from my personal experience. As usual I won't leave you hanging saying 'It's alright for you Paul but I don't know how'. I will explain how you can learn what this #negative emotion is trying to do for you - yes there will be a positive intention behind it - and how to change it to something better until you get to feel the way you want to. Let's
