It Has To Be A Bit Scary If you want to grow Do you want to succeed with your goals, your career, your relationships this thing called personal development? If you really want all of that you will step out of that old comfort zone or familiar zone as I call it. The thing is when you do so many things happen and the first is "Well that wasn't that scary!" in fact, you might say "That was exciting!" So no more fear or anxiety and putting off your dreams. In this episode, we'll take away the overwhelm of having to know it all before we start (that's a great excuse) You don't have to know every step of the way. So come with me on this counter-intuitive dive and find a way to create the success you dream of in any and every area of your life. The great thing is - when you make changes in one area other areas get the benefit too! Make sure you have a pen and paper handy because it's so important to make sure all this information and your thoughts never get forgotten and can be adapted to meet what you will dare to

Where Does My Anxiety Come From? Do I really have to know? It might be scary. Yup, in this episode we dive into not what triggers your anxiety but where it came from - and no you don't have to go there to find out Whew! Just so know, even if you did, which you don't, if you did see it through your own eyes now, with all that you know now, it wouldn't be scary - but as I said we are not going there anyway, that's not my way  :O) I will share with you examples of how your anxiety has snowballed in its intensity and generalized into other areas of your life and by using this natural phenomenon we can generalize the good feelings once it's gone. You see this anxiety was created by your unconscious mind which is where we go to let it go, which makes change comfortable the way it ought to be. So come with me in this auditory experience and bring your intention and imagination with you. When you have and have enjoyed what you listened to and learned so much please allow a similar experience be shared by others by sh

How To Live Today Following on from the last FMQ and based on a question we should or could ask ourselves every day. As you look back over your day and ask "Did I live today?" And I've had a little bit of a think -  how we can make this question create more in the next days? I think you will like what I came up with using the natural phenomenon of generalization. It's short and I hope sweet so please join me for a few minutes.

You Have To Suck First or Do You? Can we be a master without the 10.000 hours? If we could what would that mean to you and how would your life be affected? It's a hell of a downer this title, isn't it? Knowing you have to suck at something before you get to be good. It is a natural phenomenon and no one was good as they are now at doing something as they now are. But those 10,000 hours are a right turn-off - a Bummer with an upper case Capital B! All that can lead to overwhelm and underwhelm at the same time and then we usually give up and then in later years when seeing someone else do just the thing we gave up on say "I wish I'd" or "If only I'd" BUT And this is a good but, when you realize you suck at first and I tell you that you don't have to feel it then you can succeed. Every step of this process just builds more confidence and self-esteem and then spreads and influences different parts of your life too. Winner winner something for dinner or something like that  :O) Come with me in this audio of sharin

Leave A Legacy in a different way Leaving a legacy or even the thought of leaving a legacy is a big and maybe a daunting thing which can mean we don't. What would your legacy be? Your ultimate vision or your mission for this life - Hey that's heavy Cloughie! In this Five-Minute Quickie podcast, we'll turn these thoughts on their heads. Let's get counter-intuitive and look at taking all that heavy stuff, instead of looking at what you would be or had affected this little old world when you leave it. Why that long? Let's have a conversation in 5 minutes to think about this differently which ultimately will create an even bigger legacy and maybe one that only you know about and the people and things you affected greatly. Please, as usual, share this episode and tell your friends about the podcast.

#283 Do You Want to Feel Empowered? Or do you want to stay in the "It's not my problem" mode? So what is empowerment? By definition, it's becoming stronger, more confident, and ultimately controlling one's life. I think we all want some of that! It also means - No More Excuses, No More Reasons why we didn't or couldn't. It means taking responsibility and ownership. But how do we move from being at the effect side of life to' being at Cause'? That's where we go in this dive into regaining our empowerment and making a real difference in our lives, your and mine. So please come with me on the mini auditory adventure and let me share some "How To's". Listen, learn and decide your path, because you are the only one who can when you take on responsibility for your life and be totally empowered. And when you do maybe you will be so empowered as to share this episode.

I am A Screw-Up! Even when life shows you differently This episode follows a little from episode #274 You Decided to suffer and was inspired by an email I received. And a unique hypnosis experience - you have been warned- in a nce way You see it doesn't matter what people say how good you are or the great achievements you have made in your life if you feel a screw-up, stupid, I don't belong here, they'll find me out.

Therapy Is Magic and Therapists Are Magicians Myth or Myth I know when I first learned Hypnosis and NLP I did think it was like magic and to see someone transform in front of your eyes is magical and all that magic must mean there are magicians  Right? Maybe not. Maybe there is no magic wand, no piff paff puff and you're done :O) Let's look at the myth and see the reality and where the magic lies (no pun intended) and when you do you may just see it's right for you, that's if you really want the (not magic but) magical result. Please listen well and share what you hear.

An Experiment In Listening - Really Listening And when you do you will never know how far the ripples will go This is not an episode of simply 'let's actively listen'.You have probably heard it all before but I heard the fabulous Tara Bach tell a story that caught my attention. I reached out and have permission to share it with you. But that was only the start of my thoughts about listening and what to listen to and how the noise around can affect us and infect us. And then....... I got a little deeper into who we don't listen to and when we do the world, our world changes. So come with me on this deep dive, pin back those ears and listen - really listen. And then, if you would share this with others so may learn the art of listening and who to.

Feeling Unsafe? - A Question Some are feeling unsafe in this world coming out of covid, countries at war, and other things happening. Some feel unsafe because of what people say wanting a 'safe' place created for themselves. So what's my question? Well, if you find yourself in either of the two categories above I'd like to know what that unsafe feeling is for you, what it stops you from doing, and how else it affects you. Why do I ask it? Well,' I have my own opinions of the cause and effects and how these can be alleviated and to make my thoughts complete your input would help me get a richer picture or story to enable me to help far more specifically. So if you are affected and before I record my thoughts and solutions would you let me know your experiences by emailing me feedback@personaldevelpmentunplugged.com And please share this episode with others so they may do likewise - Here's the  link: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-361-feeling-unsafe-a-question/ Thank you Shine brightly Paul Pleas

#279 Making Change Easy Because it is all you have to do is expect it The what, that makes change harder than it should be is, generally, when we try to change consciously. Talking about it and thinking about it, generally, reinforces the problem/issue because if just consciously talking and thinking worked you would have changed already. "So how is it easy then Cloughie" I hear you say. Then I'll explain it as best I can just as I would to every one of my clients and when both you and your unconscious mind get it that's when you set up change to be easy and you expect it. But I won't explain it here BECAUSE it's a PODCAST!   :O) My advice of how to listen to this episode (and all the others) is to set your intention - "I Intend To Learn and Find A Way" and then make sure you do what you learn and not just passively listen. Maybe follow along with a pen and paper which may help the way to change that more deeper. Whatever way you choose will be the best for you it's the intention that is the most important pa

The Formula To JOY Let's get soppy - Nooooooo! We, well I know I do, all want more JOY in our lives even if you may think I've gone a little soft but admit it - Wouldn't life be so much more better with more joy, a bit more peace, and a lot more love in it. I want you to be an alchemist changing lead into gold, a golden life filled with joy, and being successful in every area of your life. I want to share with you a process my son, Joseph, and I have taken and developed into something special. We'll experience it together so buckle up and put some time aside to explore what life will be, is like, when you have joy, bliss, and love in your life - so to get the most from this make sure you have nothing needing your attention and dive in with me. Yes, I'll be sharing the actual process in this podcast episode. What would it be like instead of working towards Joy, Bliss, and love and a goal but having those emotions before starting and having them all through every step of the way? What about spending special tim

The Key to Getting Whatever You Want And you have the lock that it fits I apologize for the corny sub-heading, originally the title was the recipe to get whatever you want but this isn't a cooking podcast yet this is a recipe that is the key to the strategy to get whatever you want in life. Where did I find this key, this golden nugget, well in my journaling and my puzzle book. No not a book of puzzles but a place I work on my puzzled life and usually it comes out here in an episode. So what is the key, well I won't be telling all here as it's audio and you have to press play to find out but I will tell you that it revolves around three P's and is surrounded by I and G. So having made that abundantly clear :O) We have been diving into goals, dreams etc in recent episodes and I guess somewhere in my unconscious mind a thought, a seed, has been stirred and found it's way to the surface here. What came was so simple and we do love simple processes that just work and this does. To make sure I was understanding it

I'm canceled What about you? Should I be canceled? should I cancel myself? Should you cancel yourself too? It's a dilemma of (stupid) proportions. If I wasn't offended by myself way back then should I, can I really and properly be offended now because back then was back then, and now is a different now? If we cancel the past how do we learn from it? Just a short and different FMQ made me think and maybe you will too.

Weird and Unique and let's keep it that way If you listen to this podcast you have to be a little weird and you are most certainly unique Oh! That's a compliment by the way. If you take a minute to think about you, which we generally don't, is there anyone quite like you? Does anyone have the same identical experiences you have ever had or processes them just like you? and therefore the exact same values and beliefs. I could go on and the answer will always be a resounding and loud NO. So why don't we celebrate our weirdness and uniqueness instead of following the herd of blending boringly in  :O) Well, that's where we go in this episode so come with me and let's muse on why we don't and how we can. When we do, passion is sure to follow.
