Personal Development Unplugged

Marcus Aurelius - Russell Crowe - my client A five minute quickie podcast of how Marcus Aurelius and one of my clients have come together to give me something to think about. I thought it would be good to share what transpired in my thoughts on how we can use this. So what did M A say 'You can leave life right now - let that re-frame what you say and think' and what did my client say 'I want to be the best version of myself'. Let's consider putting both together and see, hear and feel how that might create a life of success. I'll share a way to put this into practice.

It's time to celebrate Why is it important to celebrate? Well first of all it feels really good and doesn't hurt anyone or anything in fact the effect is long reaching. Trouble is we don't, well I know I don't, deliberately notice our achievements we forget to focus on what's working well but single out the few things that we feel didn't go right. Just as importantly we, well I know I don't, recognise the large number of mini successes. What would happen if we, and me, did? Let me share a few personal stories.

The secret of hope, false hope and wishes A longer podcast What exactly is hope? Let's have a look at false hope - is there such a thing? Hope without conviction may just end up as an unfulfilled wish that floats of into the sunset to become an 'IF ONLY'  - Have you ever experienced that ? I know I have. Even that film on the Law of Attraction 'The Secret' (Oh I love that word) for so many created hope only to let that hope become a wish that never materializes. The thing is it could have done with a little tweak and what is that tweak? I'll share that with you here on this podcast. I'll share with you what's missing together with the beliefs that when adopted solidify that 'hope' into expectation - the next step.  From here you can just fly with only your imagination being your limit and considering that's limitless, your expectations are simply down to you - YAY! As always please listen to the end part of the podcast as it's so important. Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email

The secret of perfect practice - NOT A 5 minute Quickie Podcast I know this is not a secret - well not any more ;o) So what does practice make - no not perfect - PERMANENT And then I heard a throw away line 'practice when it doesn't matter' - WOW! that makes so much sense and most of us don't do it that I way. When you do practice when it doesn't matter you get to use up all those mistakes and it doesn't matter. Let me share with you ways I've practiced this way, in fact I didn't even know I was doing it this way and the results have been awesome and they will be for you too. Let me know how you get on and if you find something you can really use (and I'd hope so much more than one or two) please share with everyone!!!!!!!!

Warning - Things will never be the same a five minute quickie podcast If things will never be the same again it's time to take responsibility for how things will be or are. Why do you have to take responsibility?  well we've talked before about being at cause and not living on the effect side of life and the effect side of life is bombarding you with so much information most of which you didn't ask for and most pretty useless to crating a great life. The thing is it's so easy not to notice the creeping of this dis-information until it's taken quite a hold and need to do work to get back to where you want to be. That to me is a complete waste of time and time is our rarest commodity. Hope fully this will get you thinking and deciding what you take in and use to create the life you desire :O) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

A personal story of overwhelm I recorded his a short while ago, probably more for my self to understand what was going on in my life. But I've listened to it again and feel it's ok to share. Share because I ask you to share and I have to go one step further, a little more personal, to show it's really ok to share and not only learn but to share those learnings too. So feel free to borrow my learning of being overwhelmed and how my making mistakes was the effect of something else and not to make up the excuses that I(we) tend to do and take responsibility for being the cause of me(you). Like a small snowball I didn't notice things happening, yet like I explain to my clients, they grow bigger as time goes by and only when they get so big only then do we need help to deal with it. The earlier we recognise things not going quite right or that negative feeling just beginning we can change things so much more easily. Let me also share what I did to let go of this overwhelm. Yes I still have this as a work in progre

The secret to making today better than today What!!!!!! Another secret exposed!!! In the last FMQ podcast I shared how to make tomorrow better than today and now we're going to learn how to make today better than today. It will all make sense - trust me :O) So if you have listened to FMQ 182 this will make even more sense and when you put into practice both of these processes you will be ready to rock your world. And if you want it would be great if you could share this and the last podcast to everyone you know, share to all, in fact tell the world ok I've probably gone too far but you get what I'm asking.

Have a listen to this 'secret' which isn't and I'll share with you a simple way to get your unconscious mind aligned to making the next day, tomorrow, better than today and while you sleep to boot.

A podcast about a sad story we can use for a happy ending When I listen to a clients story it's as if they tell me what's the real problem without knowing. Not the issue they came in through the door with but the one that's causing the one they came in through the door with. They just don't know they know ;O) I've mentioned this story I heard from a man on the radio before in a past FMQ podcast, you know the shorter version of this podcast, and had forgotten I'd spoke about it and I have gone on into so much more deeper levels here with ways we can learn and use what we learn to help us, me and YOU, with the working through and letting go of our issues. So if you think you've heard this before you're both right and not right so stay tuned for some really good stuff we can use. Let me know what you think and as usual I hope that there's at least one thing you can take away from this and make a difference to your life. If you did get take aways from this or any other of the PDU podcasts please share with everyo

Empathy no way - well maybe this way A five minute quickie podcast I have always said I don't do empathy, I didn't think I did empathy with my clients. If empathy is being able to feel what another persons feeling then why would I need to feel what they're feeling when they have issues such as panic attacks, anxiety, depression and grief and .... well you fill in the blank. My mum, bless her soul, did empathy really well and people left their negative emotions on her shoulders - a heavy weight to bear. I love compassion and then I had a thought could I do both in a way that works and makes me feel light? and the answer was YES listen for a spell and I'll explain.

Dooo beee Doooo  -  a Fake it 'till you make it podcast Aaaaghhhhhh!!!!!! I'm still hearing people, people who I think should know better, talking and advising 'Fake it until you make it' Whaaaaaat! So I wanted to give you a way, not the only way, of acting As If but not 'acting' - being you AS IF. Why is this important? Well we all know that communication is not just the words that you use, it's not only the tone of those words, it's linked with your physiology. If your not aligned and congruent in what your communicating others will know you're faking it and you know any way which means you're not aligned anyway. It simply doesn't work. Remember you're always communicating even when you're not speaing so let's get it right and feel right.

I've created two additional tracks of the process in the podcast - Oooooo!! One is a hypnosis track - sit or lay back and enjoy and the other is the same process but I guide you through it consciously. The great thing about the process is that you can use it to explore your relationship with other things or people just substitute it's name e.g job/persons name/hobbie/side hustle/project/goal where I say money and Bob's your uncle.

Let's get better with money a longer podcast What is your relationship with money? Whether it's good bad or something in between this will give you something to think about. I've also created two additional tracks of the process give at the end of this podcast - Oooooo!! I thought I was ok with the way I say money and the value of it but Oh was I wrong! I'll tell you that story that had me really thinking and in a bit of a dilemma. It took my son to re-frame my value of money and has had great effect on my thinking ever since. This is not merely thinking or getting you to think of money my way it's an exploration of the way you think, your internal emotional value of what you do, money and richness. Seems a little deep when I write it but you know I keep things simple because I can't do complicated ;O) The great thing about the process is that you can use it to explore your relationship with other things or people just substitute it's name e.g job/persons name/hobbie/side hustle/project/goal where I say money

Let's wallow! a short and quick podcast Do you wallow in your successes? Do you celebrate the great wins in your life? What about the small one - celebrate those - I bet you don't - and why should you? I'll tell you why in the 5 minute quickie podcast that actually is around five minutes. If you have a listen  you'll find out how to wallow, not get big headed, and get to your goals and outcomes quickly and easily - It's that 'Cloughie' guarantee again :O) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

How small is small? - a step that is Having heard a way of describing 'small steps'  that is 'baby steps' and it didn't really make sense and I wanted to share my way of knowing you are taking the right steps starting from 'baby steps' and progressing to get bigger and just as easy. It's not about ladders but more like stepping stones and the magic ingredient - it's not magic by the way - as Neville Goddard explained 'The feeling of the wish fulfilled' Let's get simple and make thing happen, achieve your goals (big or/and small) and create that reality you want for yourself. I promise I've made this in a really easy way to follow.

The secret of being in the flow state - podcast We've all been there, where time seems to stop, everything seems easy (even the difficult) and you're simply there, here in the moment. When we're in it we don't even notice we're in it. What's it? The FLOW state! But can we control ourselves to be in it as it seems such an unconscious process - absolutely! :O) By studying what is not the flow state we can learn how to use the 'not' to get into the flow. Let me, in this what was to a 5 minute quickie podcast but just got longer and better, explain what I found out about what causes us not to be in the flow state and how we can recognise it. Of course I'll throw in a couple of general examples and then we can go deeper into where we can use the process of being in the flow  and be aware of it consciously. Then the more you use this process the more unconscious it becomes. Imagine having the habbit of being present in the now and in the flow state - Awesome! As you continue to practice and review (remember that pr

How to UN-practice - podcast We all know practice makes perfect but it doesn't. If you really think about it nothing is or can be perfect - it, whatever it may be, can always be a little bit better. Practice actually makes permanent and whether you practice something well or badly that's what you will make permanent. When you are doing this unconsciously what happens? we just get better, the good stuff seems to get better and easier and unfortunately the not so good seems to get not so gooder more - worse that is. It got me thinking of what I have gotten better at and how I practiced and I'll share that with you and to my embarrassment I'll share what I have practiced to my detriment. I'll also ask you to think of and record your practices so we can do something about them using the same process as we created them. Plus I keep it, as usual, simple in approach and execution. Remembering in simplicity there is genius. It'll all make sense when you listen through the podcast, a slightly longer that normal 5 minu

This is literally life changing! A 5 minute (or longer podcast) I've been thinking about who you are today and who were you yesterday and before that and before that. I've also got a process that I'll explain. What would happen if you did a little review to acknowledge where you were back last week, last month or last - well you fill in the blank. I know you will be surprised that what we have taken for granted or purely not noticed. When you do review both little things and the larger things in life, in different contexts, you are measuring and what gets measured gets done and you will end up doing more from the knowledge and maybe inspiration. What would you learn if you went back, like I did, to my early days of NLP and Hypnosis training and the spin offs from your hero's journey? Get it down in our 'jenny' journal so you have a record and can then think even deeper. Doing this can lead to even bigger steps and bigger returns. So many fail to review and become aware of how far they have come and their drea

Yep! Here is your hypnosis I promised you in podcast #102 Letting go of the old you. As we constantly evolve with new learnings and understandings it's great to let go of the you that didn't have those capabilities and get to connect to the you that is you right now with them - the learnings and understandings.   You can repeat as often as you like and it's downloadable Tell your friends and enjoy Paul

Letting go of the old you What does this mean? - let me de-hypnotize you - let's get back to the real you and Oh!there's a hypnosis track to support this podcast. CANI constant and never ending improvement but in what direction, come with me and let's dig deeper. I think you will find this podcast a little counter-intuitive which when we specifically think like that we can often find some really interesting 'stuff'. Would you like the old you back? so many clients express that that's what they want, as they used to be and that sounds on first hearing as a good thing - but is it?I don't think so. Why? you have got to be asking. Well you have to listen and I'll tell you all. I'll be heading from the old you, along your hero's journey, to something that will feel so much lighter, an un-burdening which I'll also guide you through a lovely process. Then........ as a little way to make it easier I have recorded the process in a hypnosis track which you will see the link following this podcast. If you are already si
