Personal Development Unplugged

#185 A Stretch - Uncomfortable But Not Painful There's a fine line from being totally motivated, moving forward, and finally being successful AND being overwhelmed, demoralized, and not getting the result you want. It's about going between what you 'kinda' know and what you 'kinda' don't' (from Jordan Peterson) and he's so right! Let me give you some examples from my own life and hopefully, I'll be able to go deeper into this important concept of learning. When you get it right you can make massive progress. If you get it wrong you can go from confused, where you're just about to get it Ah Ha! moment to total overwhelm. When you know this and the simple (In simplicity there is genius AE) process I'll share with you you will be amazed, grow in confidence and success YAY! :O) As always let me know what golden nugget you took away feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com And Please 'pay it forward' by sharing this episode and the podcast https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/185-a-stretch-uncomfortable-but-

You see I would like to model you and be able to share it with everyone else here in our Unplugged Community. Here's the email to let me know feedback@personaldevelopmentuplugged.com I'll also share how I worked with a client and his phobia with a process that was created by the originator of NLP, Richard Bandler, in this very same way by modeling and there's a little example I walk you through too.

It's Your Choice Your mental health, beliefs, emotions and your behaviour Isn't it great to muse? And that's what I was doing as I listened to a mental health podcast. I loved what I was hearing until BOOM! And then Oh No! Let me tell you the story and take you to where I believe something different and where you start to make changes when you have 'issues' and I think with ease and speed. Now I'm a Hypnotist, hypnotherapist and NLP'er but I'm not yours and I always advise for bigger 'Stuff' seek out 121 with a therapist but even with the bigger'Stuff' this will still help you understand and make change easier and for the smaller 'Stuff' this will also be great for you. Basically there will be golden nuggets for you here all you have to do is less play. So whether you have the behavior of anxiety, loneliness, depression, fear, phobia, PTSD, OCD, and the list goes on (you fill in the blank) this will help and get you to the 'I'm going to do something about this NOW' Please do share this episode, pay it forward

But first, before we start, it would be nice to understand how we learn so we can learn in the best possible way. I've got your back on that piece of the puzzle too. basically all you have to do is ............

MaD WorLd - The Right Time To Invest Hopefully, we are coming out of the MaD WorLd really soon, and following on from Unicorns I want you to accept you are you unique (Yep, I know it's a corny phrase but that doesn't mean it's not right). You see because there has never been a you, there is no one else on this planet exactly like you and there never will be anyone quite like you in the future I believe you have a duty to fulfill being you. And to fulfill this mission I'm asking you to step up to the plate and invest in you in the way only you can do. I want to challenge you to, in the words of David Coggins "be an Uncommon person in a group of Uncommon people" and that rocks and how you do that is your choice  ;O) This will be a stretch and it will be uncomfortable BUT a GREAT uncomfortable. Let's make a difference and use this time, right now time and create value - value for you, value for others and value for this little ol' planet Earth.

ATOTBO -How to be the best you With a nice process thrown in to boot! I had a wonderful Ah-Ha moment about 18 years ago that changed the way I worked with my clients and because of it, and the success that ensued for them, it stuck with me. In fact, it IS the way I work. So what was this thing that happened? Well I'll start with that story, a moment that went from inner panic to complete self-confidence and I'll explain with examples the effect it has had on me. The thing is it isn't just working with clients because as you know, we, our unconscious minds, have a wonderful ability to generalize stuff (good and the not so good), this now affects the way I approach other issues in my life too. So much so, I offer just one of many ways in the form of a lovely process that you can use to deal with such things as criticism, or changing your negative behaviors such as anger, etc. that's triggered by situations and you would like to react better. Hell, it would also work for a newbie therapist to get into the zone a

A personal metaphor to being uncomfortable It's weird how some things just resonate and teach us - from something like a pillow to a message or an understanding. Let me share this little thing that I experienced and how I interpreted it to something deeper. Maybe you've experienced something similar? Here's to the next stretch in our lives into the uncomfortable zone As David Goggins says to become uncommon in a group of uncommon people YAY!

Come for a walk and learn to connect The ultimate process for connecting with everything We've learned how to make perfect footprints in the sand in a previous episode "Perfect Footprints - A Way To Center" a little while back (If you haven't caught that you really should it's so useful right now) and now we get to expand that process into something I think is quite special. Don't worry if you did miss that previous episode you can listen to this one first and then, if you choose, can go back into the recent archives - you may be surprised what little nuggets of gold you have missed  :O) It's not hypnosis but you do need to be undisturbed for just a few minutes and if possible outside in nature but that's not an absolute requirement as once learned you can do it anywhere that suits you. Let me know what you experience and how good it was And...... Please share this episode and this podcast in general to a couple of friends (every day) and let's grow a community of personal development Unpluggers that will mak

Have Any Feeling You Want Have any state you want - Now Would it be important to you, any value to you, to be able to change your current state to one that would be better more appropriate more successful to your desired outcome? - You Bet! And you can with the natural process of anchoring (That's an NLP term). Because it's a natural powerful phenomenon it's highly effective and you guessed it, powerful. I talk abt it a lot and use it all the time with my clients and in these podcasts and I don't think I've really explained how to do it and how t use them. In fact the next longer podcast, about loneliness, has a number of ways in which we can really use anchoring to change that feeling of loneliness. It's fun, it's easy, it's simple (and in simplicity there's genius) and highly effective and in this podcast not only will we go through the process, I will be getting you to feel confident, I'll also explain how I used it to grow my business in a previous life :O) So let's go down this rabbit hole together and l

Starting To Do Something Yup! After a lot of painting, painting, and more painting and quite a few MaD WoRld podcasts to help us through this mad time, I have finally started something - A project. I wrote a book a little time ago about one of the worst times in my life and how I survived, what I did, and how anyone suffering, in the same way, can get through it, and now before I make it more live I have begun the narration. And I've included the recording of the forward which I'd love your thoughts and A little thought I'd like you to have so you too can start or if you've already started to finish even bigger, better and more than you can imagine.

The BIG BUT This episode of the Personal Development Unplugged podcast was inspired by the way I was feeling as I journaled this morning. It lead to an outpouring of words onto my pages prompted by my questioning on how I was feeling. And even though I hate a but, there was a BIG BUT which seemed to take me into a process of alignment which I share with you within this episode. The process originated from one of the leaders of NLP and seemed to flow with what I was feeling and what I wanted/needed and I think you will find it as worthwhile as I did. I will be making a full-blown hypnosis track of the process and if you have signed up to have access to all my free hypnosis tracks (now over 45 tracks) you will receive an email when it's available. If you haven't yet signed up go to www.paulcloughonline.co./podcast The process is a little trancey so make sure you have nothing that requires your attention, it will be worth it.
