Personal Development Unplugged

Digging through S**T Firstly apologies but I have a little swear in this. Why? - Because I get and have gotten so cross at something I heard and hear too often by people who should know better. It's a well-known fact that people of influence can affect people's beliefs and therefore have a responsibility for what they say. In short: Change can be quick and comfortable if you want it to be - Maybe they didn't! Please share if it's okay to do so  :O) https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/digging-through-st/ Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Help Me! - Help Me! Two words we seldom say or ask and if we did our world would change. Are we too proud to ask? or would that be a sign of weakness to show others I'm not coping. Sometimes we can shout out these words but we're shouting in a whisper with our internal voice. You see whilst we think we can find the answer, and sometimes we try to fool ourselves but you have to be in a different state that the problem state to find the answer. That's why you/I need that help. Maybe if you haven't someone to ask and that would never let you off the hook or use an excuse there's always a way. I'll tell you about my friend Phil who helped me and from my experiences working with people who have gone through that invisible barrier they were hiding behind and have taken the responsibility to seek help. When they do that the change can be so quick and comfortable. that change ripples through every context of their lives. Come with me and dive into two types of needing help and how to get it and overcome that anxiety

I Can't Do This from the Clough Bus Whoooo! It's so hot and I don't think I can do this! What are you a little bit good at? Have a think and as you do remember how good you were when you started learning that? Probably pretty useless, in fact, before that, you didn't even know you were pretty useless. Would this be important to you? Let me go through the 4 stages of learning and how to get that positive identity belief that when you get it - Nothing can stop you - You will become unstoppable.

What Are They Thinking About Me What we perceive we believe We all, yes this is a true generalization, think or have thought people have been talking or thinking about us and it's not positive in fact we perceive it to be very negative. And this is a great skill to have - WHAT!!!!!! Yes, the skill, not the way we presently use it to make us feel bad. It had it's purpose back in the day of cavemen and cavewomen but no longer does what it was set out to do And if you come with me I'll give you some examples and one more personal to me. I  won't stop there because I'll show you how to use this skill for good and also how to stop the old way of feeling bad. Now that's got to be a deal maker - for sure!

Get Out Of Dem Ole PJ's They'll weigh you down If you find this offensive Hmmmmm..... You might want to stop........... and Muse You may think I've gone into an old fuddee duddee age but I know it needs saying. These things are an anchor and will weigh you down and I'm only trying to protect you from stagnicity, and yes that's a word - I word I just made up. They say "if you want to get a head get a hat" and that hat is the 'Act as If' hat that doesn't look good with your PJ's. This is becoming the new normal and you have to make it yours and take advantage of what others are doing that you can be different. Yup! This is all very vague and that means you have to press play and come with me and If you want to help your friends share this: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-303-get-out-of-dem-ole-pjs/ See you on the other side of the duvet Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

The Art Of Self Sabotage Or How to succeed We've all done it, we all do it still - Some wear it as a badge of honour. So I figured it was time to explore this wonderful art of not completing and feeling disappointed in our selves or worse. I know you want to succeed and grow and feel confident and competent and everything else that comes from doing and actually completing something worthwhile. Overcoming a few difficulties on the way to success and let that success spread to other areas/contexts in your life. That's why I felt it so important to dive again with you and find a solution and that's what I've done. All you have to do is come with me on the auditory roller coaster and you will learn the art of success And all I ask is that you share this episode and send a little feedback https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/196-the-art-of-self-sabotage/ email to feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedb

One Affirmation That Works I have an issue with affirmations especially the ones that don't reflect what you really think. Let me give you an example: I'm Happy I'm Happy  I'm Happy I'm Happy I'm Happy but the thing is I'm not I just wish I were, in fact, it's so far away from how I feel it's making me feel worse. And that's the point I have real difficulties with as I believe like this it sets up a conflict between your conscious mind and your unconscious mind. What I believe is, first deal with the cause of your unhappiness and then apply yourself to find happiness - Simples. But and yes I don't like buts either so And I have an affirmation that really does work. Have a good listen and use it and see, hear, and feel how good it works. As usual, please share this episode and all the rest to everyone you know and even those you don't :O) https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-302-one-affirmation-that-works/ Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests

Wakey! Wakey! - It's Time To Wake Up Have you ever had the experience of driving with your windscreen misted up or your glasses misted and everything is just a little blurry? And then seeing things clearer as that mist begins to ever so slowly disappear? Now more than ever, I feel we are living our lives looking through those distorted, misty lense. We've always, in this adventure of your personal development, been in this continuum of waking up, shaking off limiting beliefs, letting go of negative emotions, and little by little improving us, who we really are, and being made harder by what life is throwing at us right now. So it's time! To do something about this and I think I've got te answer. It's not a new answer but it is one that works! The answer here has a number of variations so you can adapt them to your own circumstances and begin to see the world, your world more brightly, hear more clearly and feel more intensely. How? Simply press the play button and come with me :O)   Then Share: https://perso

No One Listens A Five Minute Quickie Podcast Are you listened to but not heard? Just as importantly Do you listen and not hear? On the last podcast, I talked about letting our music out, the metaphor of our passions and visions even maybe our worries and thoughts. Isn't it just as important to really listen to that music of others and really hear what is being sung or said? And the same applies, I guess, to our song being heard too. Hopefully this short podcast will inspire you to open up your senses and really hear and be heard.

 Don't Die With This Unplayed Inside You You have to press play and never pause Yep, I know I bang on about pausing but this is a different pause button. You have probably if you're like me have this pause button engaged more often than not and when we have we are denying everything and everybody listening to our tune and our song. This podcast was sparked into my brain after listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer and watching his film 'The Shift' and probably a few more things that just seem to come together. You and I are placed on the world and in this life for a reason and what a waste if we do not fulfill that and the thing is when we do life just get better. And that's what we ultimately want I guess, well if you're listening here, a life well lived and may I suggest a life that includes selfless service - I do hope so - I know so  :O) This is as usual awfully vague and hopefully vague enough to spice up your curiosity to dive in with me, you won't regret it, my friend. As usual, all I ask in return s that you sha

This is ruining my life Pt1 At the request of one of our Personal Development Unpluggers It's nice to receive emails requesting help and I take that as a massive compliment and trust I can do it justice - I'll do my very best. I think we can all relate  to this issue where we worry so much about getting something right or in our internal words "I mustn't GET THIS WRONG" And what happens? Yup - It goes wrong and the more we try, the more anxious we get it just gets worse. Then we start to question our capabilities (imposter syndrome) and remember all those other disaster times - What a great skill - if we used it wisely. Fear not, this can be changed, and without all that pain. Gain without pain, quick and comfortable change is where we're going if you are happy to follow me. We will start by understanding what's going on and where the positive intention is still trying so hard to help you and get your unconscious mind to recognize the conflict it has between the intention and those anxious behaviors.

Intuition doesn't work How can I say that when I talk about taking intuitive action? That's what you're probably thinking. Have I been wrong all these years? Is the second key of the five keys of success wrong? The answer to all those and any other question about this being wrong is....................... NO - a big fat NO I was reminded of this by Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, a nice guy and a hypnotist to boot. You see there's a little or you might say big thing to consider and that's EGO and knowing the difference between your ego and your 'thoughtful' You. Hmmmmmmmm. How do we tell the difference? If I told you here there would be no point in listening and all said and done this is a podcast sending golden nuggets to your brain via your ears so you will just have to Listen Please Pay this Forward by sharing this https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/191-intuition-doesnt-work/ and all episodes of the Personal Development Unplugged podcast Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or e

Write That 'Suckka' Down And never say "I Wisha" again I think we've all said, "I had that idea but I didn't do anything about it - Now I Wish I'd ........." This is just not my thoughts but those of the likes of Jordan Peterson and the great Joe Rogan- Boom! And I have a personal story that if I hadn't followed my own advice (and I know we all forget to do what we know best) something special may have been missed. When I say special, I mean both to me and maybe a whole lot of issues. Hey, I know I am being somewhat vague again, but I want to pique your curiosity because when your curiosity is piqued you will learn so much more. You see, what I dream for you is the same for me, that is when you are given that flash of inspiration or an idea comes out of the blue you get to reap every great and rich morsel from it. Not only you get a great benefit, everything and everybody does to :O) BOOM! Oh My, let me know what you think, email me, feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com and Let's share this so that somet

This Is New - Really "What was I thinking of?!!!!???" Have you ever said that just after doing something that just wasn't good enough, in fact, well below what you expect of yourself? I know I have and not in so nice words ,O/ It wasn't us but it was and if we try to fudge it, make excuses we don't feel right - do we? In fact, we are uncomfortable inside, misaligned, and incongruent. We know we underperformed and really don't need anyone to tell us because we know better than anyone. And there's nothing more simple to never let it happen again, well nearly never. This is new, it's complicated and never told before - NOT! It's been around for bloomin' ages, from the times of ancient stoicism. What is it? You know by now all will be revealed to you when you listen and when you do you will say "Got It!" Then you will probably email me feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com and share with me your thoughts and 'takeaways' Talking of sharing, please pay this forward and share this podcast https://personaldevelop

No More Excuses if You want To Feel Different You make me so angry! That makes me so sad. I get so jealous when I think........ We use these excuses all the time, Yes I know that was a great BIG generalization BUT it's true. Well, as true as ay other. So you don't think they are excuses - Those people, things and thoughts make you feel that way? I have a big statement for you No, You Choose To Feel That Way. Come with me down this rabbit hole and discover how to change this and feel differently about the very same things and you will change other areas of your life too! For real :O) I know you will find a golden nugget or two in this episode so please 1 Share it to everyone you know - we could all do with understanding this https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/187-no-more-excuses-if-you-want-to-feel-different and 2 Send me your feedback to me personally feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Finding a better way to success Is there a better way to succeed? Find success? Probably. We can always make things a little better. At the core though, I'm thinking, the principles are similar but what are those principles? I was reminded of these principles by a side note from a conversation and I'll tell you all about that and examples from my life that the conversation reminded me that I had forgotten. You will probably know these principles yet knowing and doing, as we know, is not the same and certainly doesn't yield results. On the other hand - you may not and knowing them will make a huge difference to results you get in life. I hope you enjoy this re-remembering and you, like me, develop what clearly works and achieve success in every area of your life - because you can, when you DO!     Hey! That's Mastery :O) Let me know what you think and if you did something different, what that was.
