 I'm Alone and It Hurts Pt 2 It's time to change that now Now, in this second part, we dive even deeper into true loneliness. Looking to ways we can make changes in how we feel and what we do to break this feeling and behavior of loneliness - It's ultimately your choice, no one can do it for you. Having said no one can do it for you it doesn't mean there's no one to help - starting right here with me - The Ultimate Confidence Booster :O) I'll show you some ways to help you make the right choice and a process to boot so you have been warned, no driving or anything that needs your attention when you come to that part. If you haven't listened to part 1 and just want to dive into the process you'll be missing the setup, the prime, so be patient a go back and listen - It will pay off and it's only another 40 minutes of your time before you get to this. Now I know not every episode hit the mark for everyone and in this subject, I know there are other effects, so please let me know what I've missed - teach me so I c

I'm Alone and it hurts Part 1 The first (of probably many) deep dives into Loneliness For some reason, that I begin to share here, I have shied away from this hugely important subject of Loneliness. I have given myself reasons why I shouldn't go here and yet I really know they are just excuses. I wonder if you have done the same? So as we're wondering let's wander in search of answers together although you will have to do your work as I do mine - it is what it is. But this time I hope to bring to the table understanding and processes that will really help us -You and I. Loneliness is not new, it may be becoming more prevalent and the negative effects highlighted by the pandemic but it's not new and it's just as painful. Having said that loneliness is not an illness and can be changed as quickly as you use the will to do whatever it takes working with, not against, your unconscious mind. Having, as I say,  shied away from this subject now as I got deeper into my dive I found I had to split this episode into tw

Take 2 - When I Don't Need To Know The Why A weird experience Have you ever had the experience of reading or watching something that you had forgotten reading or watching before and it was completely different than you remember? It's like there was 'stuff' hiding in plain sight that you just didn't see. Well, this happened to me recording this 5-minute quickie podcast and I found what I think are even more golden nuggets. See if you can spot them too. It's not the WHY it's all about the HOW and making that simple.

I Need Help I guess we can all say "I need Help" but we often don't - Do we? And because some of us keep the 'stuff' that we experience hidden, pushed down, and say "No I'm ok -  really" when we're not. I need your help to address this. It's only a short listen and it is important so if you can spare the time it just might make the difference that makes the difference to someone. Thank you Shine and be well Paul https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/i-need-help/  

Tims' Metaphor This literally is a deep dive This is the second in my current episodes of bringing you a metaphor that affected both me and my son Joseph. I'll share with you it's conception, how it traveled with us both, and now to you. I hope you get what you need from it.

Having your cake and eating it An Analogy to Muse Over 10 minutes of conversation comparing your goals, dreams, projects, in fact, anything your planning on doing or creating to a pie or a cake. This started off as a silly thought in my head but the more I thought about it, mused, and began to record the 5-minute episode it became true to me and how I have attempted to live my life and I think you will resonate with it too. I'll say no more other than I think you'll find it worth the investment of 5 (well nearer 10) minutes of your valuable time to create more the success you deserve.

No Regrets Striving for a life with No Regret I heard someone say "We rarely regret doing something or something you have done" Which I sort of agree with but don't. I do believe we should learn from those times we still regret doing or not and in doing so commit to using those learnings and in that way we need no longer need to hold onto that negative emotion of regret. If we have regret, it simply means we haven't learned from that event in our past, and if not that negative feeling tends to grow, like a snowball rolling down a slope, getting bigger and gaining momentum. So in this podcast episode come with me to learn how we can learn and actually create a life without regret. I'll take you through some processes, so be warned if you're coming with me you will need to have nothing that needs your attention and if you really want to make this change a notebook and something to write with. Don't worry it's fun, uses simplicity (remember in simplicity there is genius) and if you're prepared to do whatever it

Do You Need To Know The WHY? So many clients say to me "I need to know why I feel this way" and I normally answer "Wouldn't you rather feel different, feel the way you want to?"

End That Trance Something for you to muse over. I was taught that the job of a hypnotist was to de-hypnotize the client from the trance they are in, to one they want. A trance that would support them and enjoy life. Also, there are so many unknowing hypnotists putting you into trance - the news, social media, TV, and those well-meaning and maybe not so well-meaning people you meet. And you can decide to let them, to let the noise control you or choose the trance that you want. It's only a short podcast so if you can spare the time I think it will be worth it and when you have please share so others can decide as well https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-319-end-that-trance/ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Can I Tell You A Story? Once Upon A Time I think everyone loves a story and over the month I hope to sprinkle a few stories, metaphors, I've borrowed, I've evolved, and even some of my own. Why? I just love them and the effect they have had on me and my life. It seems just when you need to learn something in a subtle and gentle way the right story comes along. And I really wanted to share them with you - it's as simple as that because I know every story will affect you, maybe just a little or maybe profoundly like it did to me. Somewhere along the way, each will have a positive effect on us. I say us because even retelling these has an effect on me again - which is awesome! This first sharing is a true story of mine with a story shared to me by Norma and Phil Barretta and as I have said affected me then, some 19 years ago and every time I tell it. I hope you get what you need as I did. I'd love to know your thoughts, reactions, and any stories you would like to share. All you have to do is email this at feedb

Seeing Is Dreaming So as usual the 5 minute Quickie Podcast has gone just a little over the 5 minute and there's a very good reason for that. What's that then Cloughie? I hear you say I want you t feel how you want to feel and make that a habit - Sounds good eh? You see, the subject matter was just too useful to us and really couldn't be treated in less than 5 minutes and be of real quality. I can't short change you and I won't so gather up what you need to gather up and get ready to listen. Whether you think this is Whoo Whoo La La or Science-based you're right and it works. The thing is it is not magic, the results may seem magical and that's the awesome thing about this. You do have to put in the work though. It's not hard work but takes a likkle oommph! And that I know you have if you really want to feel that way. So buckle up and press play then Please share this https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-318-seeing-is-dreaming/ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me w

No More Excuses - Period How is it that some people make it  - In any situation? You got it! They will not accept excuses, Their own that is. It's so easy, and we all do it well I know I fall into the trap of giving reasons why we didn't or why we couldn't. Now I know a lot of people have talked about this but I wanted to go deeper than the surface treatment usually given and take you into how. The how to stop giving reasons accept they are nothing more than excuses (that's harsh Cloughie) and take responsibility for your outcomes from the getgo! When you get it, really get it, and start, your dreams will become your reality because you will be empowered to do it and experience them. Would that be important to you? It would right or you wouldn't be here. The thing is it really is not that difficult when you know how AND commit to it. Life then begins to take new colours and definition and the richness begins. So come with me and press play. It's the first step - take it now! And when you have please share thi

Affirmations don't work until...... You hear and read affirmations all over the place You have probably had something like these suggested to you when you were down as a way out I'm Happy, I'm Happy, I'm Happy, I'm Happy, I'm Happy, I'm Happy, etc., etc. Every day, in every way, I'm getting better And in those times these words did absolutely NOTHING!!!!! And there's a reason they did nothing and if you press play you will learn why. And then you will learn what to do and then what to say that works. All in a five-minute Quickie podcast lasting a little longer than 5 minutes  :O) Please share https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-317-affirmations-dont-work/ And you may want to share a cup of coffee with me too Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

My Quiet Place A place where you can Think, Dream, and Create Would you like to be able to create your own place where you can think as quickly as it takes to put a finger and thumb together? What would you be able to do with that skill? Come with me and I'll teach you how. From my personal experiences where I needed a quiet place to get away from the world and get my thoughts together, to think, to dream, and make sense. I've learned how to reproduce that anywhere and I want to share that with you. From these personal experiences, I'll lead you through the process right here in this episode so you too can do the same. I loved my special quiet place and the things it allowed me to create. Hey, I even, in my darker time of my life, even wrote a poem and I'll share that with you too to give you an idea where I was emotionally back then and how life changed. I credit the bigger changes to my life from this space which is why I feel compelled to share it with you - sharing without expecting a return is a major va

Jim Carey Said to me What's your talent? What's your talent that helps others, what do they need that your talent can provide? Add this to selfless service and we have BOOM! A recipe for success and maybe our passion will begin to shine? Let me share with you, remind you of the experiences we have all had and then ................. Apply it to ourselves and then you'll just get it. I did and it really made me think and I reckon it will do the same to you too Please come with me on this short podcast and then share what you get and this episode too https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-316-jim-carey-said/ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Taking Intuitive Action On Dreams Do I? Don't I? Now before we start I am not one to advocate, promote ignoring everything, and simply follow your intuition. Having said that I also believe intuition can guide us to great things, experiences, and ultimately change our lives IF....... I want to share two very different experiences I've had following my intuition and what I learned from each and the complete difference in results. From there we can explore how to differentiate between these two types and create a way, a little process (oh yes a process) to get the utmost from both. Where does intuition come from and what is it's intention? Sometimes it seems so right and we have to act quickly or do we? What happens when we do and what happens when we don't? So come with me and let's learn and when you do I promise you the results can be spectacular! I'll say no more so you will just have to press play and enjoy. When you find those golden nuggets please share them with every one and this episode: https://pers

If Only I Get Accepted (1)5 minutes of IS (Imposter Syndrome) Will this be liked? loved? shared? Is what I'm doing good enough and going to get me accepted? These are the questions I think we all ask ourselves - a lot - and if we're also doing something creative or in the public eye even more. What are the criteria for acceptance? Oh if we only knew. Well, we might know if we dive deeper. We can look through the eyes of a little bit of NLP for a bit more clarity, then we can ask the real questions that I think make things real. You see if we let these IS feelings and their associated questions stop us from fulfilling our quest for a rich life and make us wait until......... Well, the thing is "He who waits, just waits and waits and ............" And that is not going to be you!

I Got Nothin' But It's about to get better! I'm going to share some stories of my experiences of when I knew nothing and then I knew I didn't know, then I did know, then it just flowed. Or to explain it in a different way in a question - Is your surface of ignorance growing? It should be - that's if we believe in shoulds. Would you like to find the edge of your knowledge, what you know in a subject, and go beyond. Have you experienced, like me, plateaus where we seem to stall, falter and even sometimes even stop and give up? Here's where we get to look forward to those times because we're going to use them as a springboard to success. I'll share with you how we learn and how you can learn more and I want to push you, pull you, past that unreal barrier we make up for ourselves and springboard to mastery. Yup, a big claim but I think I've got it handled! :O) If it's important to you to make your life better, richer in every way possible? Then here's where we start. Let's deep dive in the next 45 or so minutes a

I Can't Be My Best Until you are If we have this n the forefront of our minds then all would be well. Does it come from a Zulu saying? Don't know but wherever it came from it's a beauty. And if everyone else had this in their psychology we would all soar to the greatest of heights. If you want to know what I'm talking about dive in and press play. What you will hear is simple and profound.
