Personal Development Unplugged

Peak Performance with Alan Stein Jr Using Basic fundamentals and transfer of skills I get asked by lots of 'wanterbe's' to come on to the Personal Development Unplugged podcast but very rarely do they walk the walk. Alan Stein Jr not only talks the talk but truly walks the walk and I am so pleased he reached out. You will hear we have similar philosophies on the subject of making you the best you and then making that even better it's just another perspective, seen through a different window so to speak. There is so much packed into this short space in time so get your notebooks at the ready because there's so much to learn and you will see in the podcasts to come it's inspired me to look deeper into the processes of transferring of skills from one context to another and how easy we can make it. If you want o share this episode please, please do. If your friends haven't a podcast app get them one or give them this link: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/300-peak-performance-with-alan-stein-jr And pleas

The Best Re-Frame By Far And when you use it yourself you'll think so too!

If You Don't Do This You're Selfish And who wants to be branded selfish The problem is as I experience it with my clients, those that want to change, let go of anxiety, and fears, and regain their confidence and self-esteem all seem to think they are being selfish working and spending time and money on themselves. In fact, spending time and money working on yourself to the real you is in fact the MOST UNSELFISH thing you can do! "How do you come to that conclusion Cloughie?" I hear you shout. Well, firstly because I say so! And secondly, let me tell you why I am right, 100% right. Well not here of course because it wouldn't be a podcast it would be a blog post and we ain't no blog post.  :O) So if you want to know why I am so right and you, by being here and working on your own personal development adventure, your own personal hero's journey you will just have to press play >>>> And to help others in this dilemma please share this episode.

Did You Do Your Best Today? Did you really?  In everything you did? If you're like me then the real answer is no. Yes, I know what you're thinking 'What you Cloughie? Even you?'  :O) If you can honestly answer yes then you have to come on the podcast and tell us how. But having said all that we do want to do our best, don't we? And I have a plan, some ideas, and some HOW TOO's If you have listened to the shorter Five-Minute Quickie episode FMQ 369 Not Doing Your Best - Why Is That? I hope I have whetted your appetite to learn more and obviously succeed more often. I say more often as if you are like me, we are all work in progress and cal always get better! If you, like me, feel that you waste time doing stuff that doesn't contribute to doing and being your best this will really resonate. Just imagine the results you would get and the emotions you would feel regularly when you can honestly say "I did my best". What would the feeling of satisfaction you would experience inside and how would that express itself

When Did You Decide Not To Show Up? and what would it be like if you did? You may think the first few minutes of this podcast episode is a little harsh and pointed and makes you feel a little uncomfortable. And you would be right if you do, but you know I would only do that if it's in context and leads to better things and it does. When we have the courage to show up, show up as our real self the world changes - for the better! It's like going through that imagined barrier of our comfort zone only to find 'More Better' on the other side and to realize it was us who put that barrier in the first place. There is only one You! There has never been a You before There will never be a You in the future So you have to show the world YOU!!!! You owe it to yourself and the little ole planet Earth  'O) Come with me and explore this and find ways that You would like to use to be that unique You and be seen. I hope you find this interesting and the thing you need to step through the made up invisible barrier we create fo

Why Didn't That Process Work! Are you sure? Maybe we need to look deeper Have you ever tried a process that you have read or listened to a hypnosis track and said "Well That Didn't Work" I think we all have, yes that includes me and I'm a hypnotist and hypnotherapist ( and a pretty good one at that). You see I know the processes I use or have helped develop do work - in fact, they work great - amazingly and magically so! So this got me thinking the other day and here's the result. What I learned was, yes they do, work that is, and there are ways in which we can use the processes or those hypnosis tracks that will get the results you intend. And it primarily starts with what you intend, your intention because I find we don't often really and honestly set our intention or put ourselves in the best state and that could be the key. Anyway, no time to sit here and just read this stuff it's an auditory experience so go get listening and start doing the things you learn. And when you have done all that please share

Hypnosis - Does It Work? and What Can It Do? Hypnosis - A gift that keeps on giving You will be surprised by the answers I give to the questions people ask me We all have those chats with people when we first meet them and ask "what do you do?" I tell them - and they ask Oh! For how long - And I tell them and then they say the words that make's me go *#$!$&~@ inside Does It Work? and What Can It Do? And I know I shouldn't go *#$!$&~@ inside because they genuinely don't know. So I 'pull my kneck in' and explain if it works and all the wondrous things it can do - Hypnosis that is, along with NLP and Time Line Therapy because at the end of the day it's, they, are my passion or the vehicle of my passion. Now if you've been here before you probably have an idea about it's efficacy and what it can do but I bet you don't know the full extent. How can I say that? Because no one knows just how far you can take it, make it, and use it - It is just a gift that keeps on giving! SO please time a moment to come wit

What Is My Calling? And how do I find it? A 5-minute muse, something to think about and maybe make things a little clearer. So many will tell you that you can find your passion or calling in 5 minutes or less Or they have a 'hack' (Oh how I hate that term). I'm not going to promise such 'unpromisable' things but I am going to leave my trail of breadcrumbs if you choose to follow them Maybe it's just the opposite You do not find your calling - Your Calling finds you Hear me out and then you may want to share what you learn and listen https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-368-what-is-my-calling/ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

How Do You know You Are Unconfident and How to Change That And yes Unconfident is a word and we both know how that feels. The thing is how do you measure confidence or the lack of it? That's something I think we never really do with confidence. What do you measure confidence with/ So many questions again Cloughie! and I will answer them all and more and the most important part after learning the answers is The HOW And yes, as always I will supply the way to change that Unconfidence into .................... ah well, you will just have to listen to learn and then do two things 1 practice what you learn because practice makes permanent and good practice makes it Mo Better : O) and 2 Share what you learn by sharing the knowledge of this episode with at least 2 of your friends, pay it forward is with at least 3 but hey ho.

Change A Bad Feeling In Less Than A Minute It's simple, easy to do and yes as fast as less than 60 seconds Yes, I know you're thinking - Cloughie's gone on to the 'clickbait' trail and you would be wrong! Don't do that because that's not how I work here, it's all about sharing. Now I believe this process was developed within NLP and we, my sons and I, have taken it a little further in our working with clients. It's fantastically easy if you suspend your thoughts and simply follow the process and when you do you will see how you can change any feeling. We're using it in this episode to change a negative feeling to a better one and test to ensure it's changed. May in another episode we'll adapt it to increase a good feeling to something out of this world! So you have been warned there is a process within the episode so if you can find a place you will be undisturbed for a couple of minutes. If you like it as much as my clients do let me know and I'll maybe be persuaded to make a separate process only and have i

The Difference Between Small Goals (Meh) and Baby Steps As you can see I'm Not a fan of small goals. A small goal will not motivate you. Yes its a win, a bloomin' small win but nothing more than that. A small step that creates the opportunity to achieve a great goal, a dream you've dreamed of, coming true is awesome. This is a short but powerful and subtly motivating 5-minute quickie so if you have five minutes to share press play >>>>> Please share too https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-367-the-difference-between-small-goals-meh-and-baby-steps Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

What Do You Need To Let Go Of Emotionally and How To Do It So not only the WHAT do you want NOT to feel but HOW to let it go and feel the way you want to Big stuff for a little podcast ut we're up for the challenge which to be fair is not so big when you know. Let's face we all, you and me both, will feel a negative emotion once and a while or a bit more often and ok so you could just live with them BUT why should you? And it's not a case of having to go back to times when you first felt that way - I won't and don't do that because there are, I believe better and more comfortable ways to let go of the negative 'stuff' and feel the way you want to feel. It doesn't matter if it's just a bit of sadness or depression, frustration to outright anger, feeling guilty or ashamed or well you can fill in the bank because they will fit in here. Be prepared for an experience to deep dive into this and the process I take you through. I keep it simple because in my experience the simple stuff just works - so they'll be no b

What's Stopping Me from Doing What I Want to Achieve? Or maybe a better question is "What's stopping me from making today better than yesterday?" If you are listening here I know you want to make every day better than yesterday and simply making our life the best one we can and the thing is, for me anyway, is that it's bloody hard to do, hard to remember and yes I fail. By fail I mean gt the results I didn't want. But what stops me, you? Great question - NOT! How can I make it happen - Better question Cloughie! Come with me in this episode and let's find answers or really our unconscious mind will do it for us. We'll find out why it doesn't happen and then how we want it to happen and then more importantly (the bit everyone else leave out) the HOW to make it happen' What would it feel like if every day was better than yesterday and what would you achieve? Yup! We'll go there too. You will even hear the endearing term I use on myself "What are you doing you great dollop?!!" There is a lot packed into the 30 or

What's So Good About Having Imposter Syndrome? Funny enough it means you're on the right path In the last longer podcast episode #289 we checked on how to tell if you were really an imposter and now I want to share, knowing that you're not, what's so good about it. "Oh Come on Cloughie You have gone MAD!!!" I hear your inner voice say. No, I am not and you'll just have to trust me or simply just spend some time with me and let me explain. Remember that imposters never really feel like being an imposter, certainly not the way you and I have. Let's start by exploring the intention of having this behavior - Yes it's simply a behavior - and use 'the pre-suppositions of NLP'and see how they help understand this natural emotional, behavioral phenomenon. Then we'll dive in even deeper and understand the real positive intention of your unconscious mind and use our conscious mind to educate a better way to succeed. There's even a process within this episode to help you find better ways in contexts in the past you used

The One Question That Just Works   If you ever feel like an imposter, un-worthy, not good enough, I can't do this and I think we all have at some point in our lives, maybe even right now then I have the perfect answer in the form of a question. A question that when you feel that way changes everything and gets you to see things as they really are. This comes from a language pattern of NLP known as the Meta Model and is so simple, we love simple, which gets you explore and find the answer - no more generalizations where nothing is learned. This works so well on ourselves, especially when we're thinking or saying to ourselves I can't do it I don't Belong here They're out to get me I'm stupid And the answers, the Real Answers!, take you from that doubt to empowerment and moving towards what you want, desire and dream of. Please share this with all your friends as we all should know this,  if you don't share it via the app you're using then here's a link from the website: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.c

I Am An Imposter - Really?? Are you really? Let's take a good deep look Come on this little deep dive to look at Imposter Syndrome but in a different way, dare I say it counter-intuitivly. If you spot yourself in this unusual look then you will need to look at yourself but I have a feeling this episode will on reinforce that you are on the right track and you do indeed deserve to be where you are and in fact, it's only going to get better! We are looking at Imposter Syndrome, the feeling of "I don't belong here" or "I'll get found out" differently and when we look at things differently they look different and we can see things more clearly. So if you want to find out if, in fact, you are an imposter look no further just press play and listen, and if you want reassurance that you're not look no further just press play and listen. Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!! If you follow the Personal Development Unplugged podcast you probably feel like one, which means.............. You'll find out when you listen   :O) Please sha

That Voice In My Head Is it mine? You're mad if you have a voice in your head - thats' how a long time ago people thought, yet we all have an inner dialogue. A question: Has that voice ever changed?

Understand This and Fear Will Go It really is just a simple case of learning. Fear and anxiety will disappear as quickly as they appeared in your life and It doesn't matter how bad it is right now or how long you have experienced it. I'll start with a couple of client experiences and then into the meat of it where you can learn and learning is the key. Learning the 'Why' you feel the fear or have the anxiety and the positive intention behind them. Yes, there is a positive intention of being scared of things or being anxious about things and worrying. When your unconscious mind realizes that what it's doing and making you feel bad is in conflict with that intention that's when the magic happens. It is all a matter of looking at things differently and when you do ................. Oh, I tell you hear you just have to listen to the episode. Come with me in this longer podcast episode and explore your fear, and your anxiety without feeling scared or anxious and when you do I wonder how quickly it disappears? I co
