Personal Development Unplugged

So why the F**k Bother? But I think you will There's so much in this episode, so much more than Anxiety to Confidence that I think will get you from not just thinking about this to excelling in every area of your life - Bold statement Cloughie! But first we, well I, need to be shocked. Because the more you do, the more you learn, you will never be enough or know enough. So that general belief that I hear so often in the clinic "I'm not enough" is the most inspiring belief to have -WHAT!!!!!!!!????????? And we can also be inspired by the words DREAM, CREATE, EXCEL even though it will never be as good as it can be, could be - You can always do better. So why bother? Come with me to explore why we should, why I should and why you may want to. And let's explore if you could never get any better because you're the best you can be, you have learned all there is to learn. what would that be like?  B**ring! Hey, as we dive into this I'll also show you how even feeling good from a good memory how we can make that feel

Who's listening To You? You may be surprised. This is a whopper of an episode in the amount of not only golden nuggets but silver and bronze ones tooo! How would you, do you help your best friend(s)? You're always there for them and support them. Or do you? Because you have a best friend, we all do and they're better than every other friend(s) you have on the outside and despite how you treat them they are always there, doing more than you can imagine - just for you alone. The thing is we would never treat those external best friend(s) like you do to this best friend. The thing is when you really connect, inside, and connect in communicating what you want, things happen like magic. You see you have to know that whatever you think about most of the time is what you get, whether you like it or not. This generally creates anxiety, fear, low-self esteem, and unconfidence as your best friend attempts to protect you from those things by using the power of your imagination. So let's dive deeper into how we can think

When and how to find new opportunities Was lockdown, locked in, the best time to find opportunities? Really??? Or was that just 'clickbait' or reframing a bad situation which I don't think helped those who had to keep working hard - they didn't get any time to have the best time. So when is the best time? the best time to find new opportunities and make a difference to you and make your dreams come to fruition? Well in this 5-minute quickie I'll share with you what you already know but you didn't know you know. Sorry, this is so simple but it just works, and with a little suspension of your negative beliefs and open your mind up to all things uncritically and find what is hiding inside your mind.

WTF Let's Go First In a slightly explicit way Yup, a little swearing but not a lot, and I think it's in the most appropriate way. And as many episodes, this started with a journal, a read, and a Youtube video all colliding in my head. There is so much wisdom known in this world that has been around for 'donkey's' years (a technical word or ages), it's not hidden and makes so much sense yet how many take the time to use it and what would happen if they, we, you and I did? And from a couple of questions, I came to a conclusion and a question just for you. And....... It's an important question that I know will change your life and others around you and you will have to add "Am I up for this?" Yet it will only change your life if you answer it with positive intention and Action. and I wouldn't ask you if I thought you weren't the person I know you to be or that you wouldn't see, hear, and feel the importance of it. Yes I know I'm being vague and I want to spark that curiosity in you to follow the thoughts and tea

3 Steps To End Procrastination Really? Yes! And before you say or think "is this clickbait?" How very dare you! No, I want to show how to overcome procrastination simply and easily and take off that badge we can wear. Do I procrastinate? Of course I do!  I'm human and have my struggles and it's through those struggles I found this way. It's not the only way but it does work. And because it works it's only right that I share it with you. It is simple (in simplicity there is genius) but it doesn't do it by itself, you do have to take action. Remember do it over theory?  And when you put this into action the results are spectactular. It's also right that you shouldn't put off sharing this episode: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/250-3-steps-to-end-procrastination/ or the whole Personal Development Unplugged podcast to a select few or better still everyone you know. It's so important to get our message out there and making a difference. Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or emai

Q and A of a sort Or The Answer is only as good as the Question Very few share, at least who I know of, the power of questions and what to ask and how to ask - Tim Ferriss is a great one. Some try too hard and be too clever and fall down in giving a great service, a great habit, and a great way to problem-solve or seek the answers to your dreams And to my downfall, trying not to try too hard, not hard enough, found there are questions that don't need to be answered in the here and now but to experience the answers first hand and those that need musing. ANd I'll share with you if you come with me, both kinds and more importantly the 'How To' part that so many leave you hanging over. Because that's one of the foundational values of this podcast - to share everything especially the 'how too'. There is always a price to this knowledge though. "What I thought this was free Cloughie?!!!!" No, the cost is sharing this and what you learn to everyone, the ultimate pay it forward. Here's the link for this episode: http

A Sharing from Loren Swift self-connection, a simple way to know what to say next We have a treat in this episode - A guest in the name of Loren Swift - Sharing another view, a different perspective, and we see how closely we strive albeit from slightly different backgrounds. I’ve included an expanded description of what she means below: “Metaphorically, it reminds me of a stone dropping into the mirrored surface of a pond. The deeper the stone descends, the wider the ripples of understanding spread. So it is with us. Deep self-connection affords us a wide range of insights via our expanded awareness. It gives us access to our hearts and minds, to intuitive awakening and creativity, to one another, and to spirit. Self-connection is also the basis from which we can skillfully navigate the world around us, from clear communication to conscious choice-making.” I'm really grateful that Loren took the time to walk the talk in sharing with us and please show your appreciation by giving Loren a wave at connecting

Do it over theory It doesn't matter how much you know and how much you study if you don't use what you've learned it's useless other than being a "know it all" - And we all love to see that in others -NOT! It was so nice to again hear what we believe and talk about here in our little podcast is supported by others and the one and only Gary Vanderchuck. Mastery- Doing what you know AND Knowing what you do. It doesn't matter if what you know is small right now you can still be the master of what you know by doing it and it will grow.

Reset and Refresh - Right Now! And what would happen if you did If only we could feel differently, in the moment. Change how we feel to something different that is more appropriate. This was inspired by being in the gym and hearing something that just resonated and also seemed to endorse what we do and how we think here in the Unplugged world. And from what I heard got me thinking of how we could make it more powerful and then some. It takes stopping and pausing and experiencing the world like Da Vinci (something we did way back in FMQ 38) and incorporating a 'no mind' state and those perfect footprints in the sand as you center and settle. "Whoa! Cloughie" I hear you think "all that in just 20 minutes?" Come with me and spend some time, if it actually exists, to become in the center of time and experience a merging of states what really bring you in the NOW right now or whenever you want to return to the now. And.... It feels good too! Trust me, with your mind, and learn this awesome pattern interruption to

Enticed away from the noise and I'll tell you how you can do it to Just a quickie my friend to share with you an experience I had while standing on the cliff tops looking out over the sea.

Let me share this conversation with you and I think you will take away something gold and the best bit it's so simple that when it resonates with you........... Boom!

The BS of Vulnerability Overused? Overrated? I want to share what others don't tell you about vulnerability.   I love it when some supposedly thought leaders tell you vulnerability is so no longer the thing to be and in the same breath tell you it's the only thing to be - trying to be controversial, click bitingly full of their own BS.   Hey, that's a strong start Cloughie!!!!   Unfortunately or fortunately whatever they say doesn't make it any less powerful, you will be that other often now poo poo'd word authentic.   But, yes there is a but   It's how you engage and where you start.   I'll share with you a different, less glamorous, place that will let you crush it. Sometimes it will be a little painful and I'll tell you about my experiences and the pain will be worth it. When I say pain, by the way, it's basically being honest with the one person who matters in all of this and as no one will be watching it really isn't so bad and the results - an overused Awesome with a capital A.   As always please share

A Meaningless Podcast For A Meaningless World And before you even think - this is not a rant or a down and dreary episode, far from it. What's the meaning of life? Some will use their whole lifetime to explore this and not get it. Some just won't get it from the beginning.   But You?   I think you do but maybe don't know you know or are ready to make a difference in your life and understand and make your life meaningful.   That's where we are headed in this episode and maybe a couple more, depending on how you and I think.   It's all a bit sketchy I know but that's how it is as this is an audio experience (unless I get it transcribed) but until then come with me a see your world, our world in a different way, being at cause and creating your reality in a meaningful way :O).   I'd love for a couple of things to happen as you listen   that you feel it's worth sharing, here's the link: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/244-a-meaningless-podcast/ That it resonates with you and you let me know how it did a

Living For Tomorrow Making Tomorrow Great I love that we have goals, dreams and desires and that whilst we work hard for them to materialize our focus is on the future - tomorrow or beyond. Some of us live primarily in the past and some constantly wishing in the future and we miss out on something special. We miss out on the only thing that exists in time - if it really exists. This is a five-minute quickie episode so jump in and find out what this is all about. It just might make a difference to what you're doing right now!

Post-Lockdown Anxiety Don't put this off Not a long podcast episode but maybe one with a really important message. Everything is about to change again as we come out of lock-down and I am seeing a huge increase in people suffering from anxiety in all different forms and it no coincidence of the timing with what's been going on and what's about to happen in our ever-changing world. And the thing is this anxiety is relatively easy to deal with if you deal with it now but if left, like all issues, they tend to get worse and spread to other areas of our lives. You don't want that and I don't want that for you so let's nip it in the bud right now. And also as you listen if there is anything you are experiencing and need more help that I can give here - Let me know - simply email me at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Because this is such an important topic please share this episode with anyone and everyone you know - it might be the best thing you can ever do for them Here's the link: https://personaldev

A New Way To Journal and Being Vulnerable Recorded in/on the spur of the moment and I just had to share what I've learned whilst Journaling. But it's not just about that as in here's a new way (it probably isn't) but to describe the process I share with you my personal bit or story and what I discovered. It seems to be an extension, that I only saw just now, of the last FMQ. I see now this has been brewing in my mind for quite a long time and connects with my love of questions. Questions are easy, even good ones, but the answers are or have been for me, so much more difficult. The thing is you have to be hear/here, that is to say, you have to listen and if it floats your boat you have to use or adapt it simply knowing doesn't count without the use. I know this is pretty random and obscure but because I did this on the fly I want you to listen and not be affected by my words here. I'd love your feedback and also what you do differently to this so I can learn from you too so please email me feedback@personaldev
