Act like a BLANK A five minute podcast Here's a little, if not a BiG, bit of encouragement to get your goals, dreams and any outcome. Remember 'fake it until you make it'? and what's implied in that title? well here's a way to be it and make it! This is not about acting and not being yourself but being yourself as you would be when you get there. Maybe you can model - let me explain - not here but in the podcast -silly ;0) Because when you use your physiology you can change the way you feel and act, even the pictures you make in your mind which, when you do it, you get the new behavior. The behavior Oh! there's also a how to, well more than one how to, in the podcast Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

It's all about Ooodles! in a podcast Knowing you know more than you know - because you do and when you look back at things you know you will find even more things you didn't know. Doe that make sense? - probably not so to make sense you really do have to listen - it is a podcast you know  ;o) Let me make it just a little more clear. When you first learn something, because you don't know you only take in say the first level of information. Then as you listen again you know something about the subject which allows you to understand and learn the next level of learnings. I can explain it better with an example that happened just a short while ago Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

The what's in the detail - a five minute podcast Let's get rid of overwhelm Overwhelm of all those details and also overwhelm of the BIG picture We've all heard to saying 'the devil's in the detail' but is it or is it an angel in disguise? Let me share a recent bout of overwhelm and how by mixing the big picture and the details together made a massive difference and divert a would be disaster. I've found an app 'workflowy' that does help in both too. I'll also share a couple of questions used with 'Jenny' journal that I found really useful to ensure we see things clearly, stop the old self-sabotage and begin and end with motivation and a way to hold on to that feeling all the way through. It really doesn't matter if your goal is massive or a smaller more immediate one the same process applies and gets you the success you deserve    :0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

HELP ME - I'm coming out A five minute quickie podcast Let's 'come out' & 'Man UP!' 'Woman UP!' What's that mean? Let me share with you an example of someone who Came Out in a courageous way to encourage others to get help by telling of his personal mental health battles - (and you know I hate with a vengeance that term) The guy's name, Danny Rose a young footballer who I admire for his football skills and now more than ever for what he did and said. I'll also take a little metaphor that we can use to ensure we never let things get into overwhelm. Let's take a little inspiration from this story to make a difference to our lives, others lives and of course little old planet earth ;0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

What you've learnt is out of date - Really! A podcast of the longer variety ish Just because you learnt something a little while ago or even a long time ago is it out of date? I've heard by a couple of people of late and people I think that should know better - say that it is. Evolution of the human brain has taken a little while not just over the last few years. Hmmmmm. Yep I think they should know better. This is not to say we shouldn't strive to improve what we know but don't throw away what you already know that work. Let me share with you a recent client of mines' experience using simple 'stuff' I have explained here in previous episodes and teach in the first  couple of days in our trainings. Guess what? - They worked! So it's good to do an inventory of the things you have learnt and notice can we improve it and re-remember the process so you get to use it both consciously and unconsciously and when you get those great results CELEBRATE!!

Curiously interesting - in others and YOU another 5 minute quickie podcast Let me share a couple or so more questions that just assist you in staying calm when being put under pressure. We've all been asked difficult questions even direct questions asked to put you off or offend. Well these will help and when asked with a curiosity, alignment and  congruence they will take the asker inside to find a real answer of them and why they asked that question. Seems confusing and it is for me writing about this. In fact the questions are so simple and so much easier to listen to in this podcast. I started out in one direction and during the recording I had a mini 'Ahha' moment and took this in a direction that, well have a listen and find out. As usual it could change the way you act and re-act - in a good way - forever!  ;0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

  Make my day - Successful!   A podcast of the unplugged variety Clint Eastwood gave a choice, well sort of, to "Make my day" and here we are looking to do just that. When you get this it will not only make your day it will make you week, your month, your year. Ultimately Your Success is all about taking on some sequences of creating a good day that when you look back upon you go "Wow!!! - What an awesome day" Let's explore and model when you have had such a great day in the past - Your behaviours - Your emotions - the pictures in your head and what you say to yourself. Let's find your criteria of a great day and make it better. As usual we will deconstruct this into simple steps and install them into your daily habits - to make them unconscious. Understanding that urgent 'stuff' is NOT the things to do first there are outcomes that take 20% of your effort and return 80% of your success - THE IMPORTANT STUFF. We'll think about a way to close your day and have a life outside of this and make that part of your

  A word of encouragement - a podcast We talked about your Hero's Journey (Adventure) #97 and I wanted to give you a further word of encouragement about continuing on your path and disregarding the 'Nay Sayers'. This is not about them or their misunderstandings and negative beliefs, in fact these have nothing to do with you! They are their misunderstands and negative beliefs and when you ignore them they will stay with them not you.

  Let's get 10x's way out there Astro Teller, that's right you read that correctly, is a man who I heard speak on how to let yourself go and really dream. Dream on the wild side and go for it. You only have to spend 10% of the time you set aside for working on yourself. S it can be as small or short as 12 minutes a day. This has got to be worth a listen and then get your journal out and go make a difference!

Your Hero's Journey - a supportive ramble unplugged podcast This adventure of personal development is your own hero's journey as depicted in Joseph's Cambell's book and sometimes we forget this and when obstacles come and get in our way, even blindside us, we can think about giving up. It's time to remember that you are the HERO in this adventure and you will grow and succeed and that's where this podcast goes back into my past. The past I had tended to forget and I hadn't realised I have been working on myself way before my introduction to hypnosis and NLP. It was good to re-remember this adventure and the teachers that came along. I'll tell you all about this and the effects on me and how each step that took me in leaps and bounds to where I am now. And....... it's not finished yet because if you haven't realised whilst you will return home from this Hero's Journey/Adventure you simply begin another. That's the great thing about embarking, once your in it your in it for life and it will be awesome! :0) Eve

The way forward - NOT knowing - a 5 minute quickie podcast   What's impossible? Do you know? Here's the thing you and me simply don't know enough to decide if something is impossible. Now this is the best backhanded compliment because it allows us to attempt and succeed in things that others (the Nay Sayers) said wasn't possible. Add to this I can't and haven't failed because I haven't given up and we're on a winner. I share a story of one of the originators of NLP and one of my own with mt dear MUM in both things that were said to impossible actually happened. What have you thought impossible in your goals and dreams and if you took on the beliefs"I don't know enough to know this impossible" and 2I can't fail because I won't give up" or 2There's always a way!" may just make them possible. Got to be worth going for? You may even succeed better than you can imagine. Know the WHY and you will find the HOW Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feed

Be honest & Get off your bum and do something A five minute quickie podcast I over heard something on the radio that made me think how wrong this is. You may think it's a little bit harsh but I really think if you take responsibility to let go of your issues it can be happen. It can happen quicker than you think providing you want to change and are prepared to do whatever it takes. Help to do this is so much closer than you think. I truly believe in the power of the unconscious mind to change how we feel right now, even are suffering right now and for you to live the life you imagine for yourself. I'll explain all that I mean in the podcast, please take the time to listen because even if you don't have an issue you may know someone who does and maybe, just maybe, there may be a snippet of gold here that can make the difference that makes the difference. I hope so ;0) Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback. If you have enjoyed this or

Following on from podcast #96 Let's use this to kick start our dreams here is, as promised your hypnosis track to go through discomfort and create things just the way you want and probably better that that. Be well and shine brightly Paul Please remember to share, subscribe and leave a review in iTunes and Castbox

  Let's use this to kick start our dreams Let's start feeling uncomfortable as an easy way to springboard you success. Yes I know we (I) normally want to walk away from that feeling but counter-intuitively we are going to use it as it has a wonderful message for you and in achieving your dreams. I guess your listening to these podcasts because you want to achieve your dreams, complete your missions and attain your ultimate vision. As you go about this we will sometimes not feel so safe or a little anxious but we can learn from it and use it to our advantage. Let me share with you a recent event that needed me to change. It required me to make more than one change and took me into places where just thinking about them made me feel uncomfortable and yet the results - well I'll share that with you. And as usual everything I had fear about became a false fear when I went through it and the way I felt after starting? well I'll share that with you too :0) Confusion also came into play and as I tell our students c

  Keep out! It's my imagination   a 5 minute (or so ) podcast Your imagination is precious so "put a keep out sign on your imagination!" Albert Einstein. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't or it won't work or that's silly because your ideas and imagination is yours and your alone. Everything you see was in someone's imagination before it became real. Maybe if you had a little (or big) imagination note book that said 'keep out!' on the cover. Because when you are given an idea that sparks your imagination make a note so they don't fly away and disappear. When you start doing this it's as if these ideas start to come more often and feed of the others and can lead to special things happening. It worked for Walt Disney ;0) This all came from reading a Wayne Dyer book quoting Albert Einstein and sharing it and now I'm sharing with you with a few of my thoughts and wouldn't it be great if you did the same. The integrated field of learning!!!! You may wish, only when you have the time and inclination, to s

  The not so secret of Focus and Success   A five minute (or so) podcast You know I hate secrets which aren't. I think when people use that headline of "The secret of getting......." you fill in the blank they simply using this to entice and is false. So here we will blast all those out of the water and show them for what they are. You see I was caught by this technique again! Yup, I still fall for it because I believe in the good of people. Then this belief in people was fully restored, as I was shared a link to an article written by NATE GREEN in which he really shares his personal way of organizing his day - not making it glossy and over selling - a total honest sharing. I love it! I'll even show you a 'secret' way of focusing :0) and if you practice it you will get better and better really quickly and then use your creativity to think how you could adapt the process to say a project, a problem or a goal. It's up to you how far you can take it. And as this all came about from others sharing what do you kno

Your free hypnosis track for learning from the future and using that knowledge right now. No more "some day we'll look back and laugh" let's laugh now! No more "I didn't know it at the time but it was the best thing that happened" because you have the best thing right now!   To get you free track go to paulcloughonline.com/podcast  and become a part of the PDU community too  :0)

  Let's laugh now before we look back - the podcast Let's feel good and look forward so we don't have to wait to look back and laugh. Yes I've created another hypnosis track that incorporates the process I discuss. Have you ever had a stressful even in your past that you said something like "it was the best thing that ever happened to me" yet at the time of the event it really didn't feel that great - How does that happen and does it do anything for you after the event when you most needed something at the time? Let's have a look. I'll share some of my stressful events and their results and explore how we can create a better result and feel better and not so stressful at the time. "Really Paul you can do that?" Yep I think so and like I said I've created a free hypnosis track to boot ;0) Come with me on what was my adventure and discover a process you can use to not only get you out of that stressful and anxious situation but to use in the getting of you goals. It's a lovely process you can use as it is or a
