Personal Development Unplugged

Let's get empowered - the 5 minute podcast It's time to get and be empowered! Let's look at the excuses our friends give for not following our dreams you may even know someone even closer - Look in the mirror if you want a clue ;0) I'm as big a culprit as the next person and the good thing is now we can recognise the words that come out of our mouths or that inner voice and STOP and make a considered choice and decision. When we do this and become responsible for our choices and not the excuses and effect side of life we become the creator of dreams, our actions and your reality. No more excuses for not doing what you dream of and start to let empowerment be your guide.

Will you help spread the word? If you do I have a hypnosis gift for you. Just let me know when you have via paul@paulclough.co.uk

Learn a new skill in 5 minutes - a five minute podcast Let's learn a skill by asking one question "how'd you do that?"

This is the simplest way to learn from the world around you and there's a wealth of great things happening all around you and please don't be afraid to ask because you think this approach is too simple because in simplicity there is genius Shine Brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Don't miss out on your dreams and goals -the  podcast This isn't about goal setting but more about thinking of the goals you have, the goal you had and if you haven't moved on them or have missed them it's about wondering where they came from. You may even find they're not even your goals, maybe you have inherited them and it's time to decide if they're worth keeping. Also you may decide you need to tweak them to match who you are today, your beliefs and values. The thing is if you believe in your goal that's all that matters and we're not giving up on it. Maybe it's just time to take stock of where you are and how you can re-charge that dream of yours. I'm with you all the way! Shine brightly Paul please share as that's the biggest compliment to me and re-charge my dream if you want to find out how to subscribe to the podcast click here or go to paulclough.co.uk/subscribe

I've been thinking a little lately and wanted to share my thoughts and ask a question or two of you. So................................ If you would spare a few minutes - the rest is up to you. Shine brightly Paul

A joke that made me think - the podcast How well do you look after your garden? It started of with nothing when you inherited it and you added your beliefs, values, skills and behaviors. What are you adding to it now or are you letting weeds grow? This is just a reminder to take a moment or two, with your 'Jenny' journal to reflect where you are and where you want to be, do and have. Yes we can even be grateful for this moment and for your ideas to come and dreams to come into fruition. You may even what to take time to contemplate (Ooooh! that's deep) to how we can make the worlds gardens join and share. Hmmmmmmmmmmm........

Let's get attentive - the 5 minute quickie podcast If you want to get into the moment have a listen and then listen again a close your eyes. (Spooky - in a good way!) Where would you like to more attentive to the moment? Get out our Jenny journal and make some note as you will need a few thoughts of how you would want to feel and where you want to feel them being attentive. Don't worry I make more sense if you listen first. It's a lovely NLP process that get you to remember these feelings and let these memories keep flooding your mind and make a recipe of attentiveness. Listen first and when you have then you'll be ready to throw yourself into this process. Make it fun and then go test the results.

There's a pebble in my shoe! a podcast We've all had the experience of putting up with a pebble in our shoe, trying to ignore it and we try to keep on ignoring it but it just stays there and is always in the corner of your mind. This is a real experience and it's also a metaphor for those issues we try to ignore and they don't disappear do they? Let me give you a couple of my personal examples, one of which changed the way I work with clients. It was my unconscious mind trying to communicate with me and give me guidance and it's only when I addressed that pebble, listened, I found out something really important. So what are you ignoring, what's that metaphorical pebble in your shoe trying to tell you? Let's get our 'Jenny' journal and explore. let's take time out and really listen with all our senses - seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling - and connect and learn. I'll go through so many things you may learn and what to do in a simple yet powerful way. When you do that niggle, that pebble will ass

They are so annoying until we learn - the 5 minute podcast Oh this may be a painful one because what I'm going to tell you may just strike a chord but not always a pleasant one. You know we all meet people as we go about our world and they just annoy you - they just grate! It's when we can pin point what about them that grates, sets us off we actually learn what in us is there too. They have been sent not to annoy us but to teach us what we need to work on - dare you be so honest? Come on, have a listen and as usual have our 'Jenny' journal at hand because this is where we can look in the mirror and the subtle adjustment we make can be and make a massive difference and when you do those people seem to disappear.

Practicing to failure - NOT - the podcast. Yep it's what we do practice things in our mind to make things worse, what can go wrong and even 'wronger' and with our wonderful ability to imagine, that's right our imagination. Doing this can and does stop us from experiencing the adventure we dream of. What a bummer! You see right now, this very moment, we're ok and it hasn't happened so let's create a way to make sure the future we dream of happens. Happens in a way that we enjoy and even exceeds our wildest dreams. It's totally possible so let's learn how. It's not rocket science, unless you're a rocket scientist ;0)  , as usual let's break this down into simple ways because we know by now 'In simplicity there is Genius'. We're going to use the very same skill we use to make things worse and that stop us from doing things because it's not the skill that's not working it's the way in which we're using it -Doh! Let me guide you to use your imagination and visualization to create the life you desire. Please don't

Life - and changing what's important to you - the 5 minute podcast Why do we wait for something to happen to us, or others, for us to think and change what's important to us? What is important to us are our values and our values, along with our beliefs, and these run our world and create our reality. If we can change our values when these events occur in our life why wait for the event in the first place let's change now for the better without delay. In just 5 minutes I bet I can get you to think differently and start running your world differently better and blow your reality into another realm. Don't believe me? Have a listen.

The five minute Quickie Podcast - In knowledge there's power - Really? So having all this knowledge is a way to have some power in your life, yes? maybe well - No You can have a whole lot of knowledge or learnings but without the magic step it can be quite useless, especially in this world of your  personal development and creating the life you want for yourself. This short podcast is aimed at me to get me doing stuff, taking a big bit of action and I'm guessing if you listen you may find it's also aimed at you too :0) Shine brightly and please do share with your friends there's a email subscription at the side here or better still subscribe through iTunes by hitting the iTunes logo over there -> catch me or find me on twitter @pcloughie   Paul  

The art of a great question - the podcast Oh first an apology - I uploaded the same podcast twice - Doh!!!!!!!!!! so here's another fast on the heals and it's all about the questions we ask ourselves - The good ones and he not so good. Andrew Fortstoefel inspired this podcast by walking over 4000 miles (not the 400 I said in the podcast) and on his journey he asked questions and listened. The questions we ask ourselves can create heaven or hell - a little dramatic you might say but it's true. Let's explore this a little deeper and find out what we can do to create that heaven. If you ask the right questions but fail to listen and listen with all your senses, well.........? So it's about asking, listening and then learning from the process. You will really change your world if you go for this and I'll give you a few examples in my life and some ways you can excel and be the best you can be and more importantly enjoying being the best you can be and then repeat it even better ;0) enjoy and shine brightly. Paul

Fibs or lies it really doesn't matter what you call them because they're still false. I want to give you personal examples of this, the fibs I told both myself and others. Yes I told these and believed in them and it's only until now that I've spotted them. Why am I telling you this? Hmmmm. Well maybe you will begin to see and hear the fibs you're telling yourself and to find out why you do it. It's when you acknowledge these fibs and the intention behind them you realise so many things - what you have actually achieved, what you will be able to do without these stories you tell. If you find they are negative find ways to get that intention with better behaviours and experience wonderful things. It may take a few minutes with our trusted 'Jenny' journal but you'll find it is so worth it. Have more fun you can stand  ;0)

Oh we've all had these days - down days - whatever we or whatever we touch seems to go oh so badly. Here's one of mine and what I did to do something about the way felt. In effect I did what I advise you to do, yep following my own advice (for once ;0)  ) When I did this I discovered things I hadn't seen before, hadn't noticed before and was literally a breath of fresh air. You don't have to stay in this down state and with some gentle care and gentle action and you may just surprise yourself - I did. Please enjoy and shine brightly.

Do you really know the words that come out of your mouth? Think about it for a moment and when you do you will realise words come out unconsciously unless your simply repeating by rote. So how can we ensure the words we say are the words we meant to say because we've all had experiences of saying what you didn't want to say. Let's have a quick chat to see how( or hear ) we can become clearer in what we think and say. ;0) Please enjoy and shine brightly.

Time for a bit of honesty - so I thought I'd start with myself and I'll let you in on the stories I not only told myself but told others and I believed these stories, I just realised they're fibs. The more I thought of this the more fibs I realised I had been telling. The more I thought the more counter examples I found - From learning hypnosis, NLP in USA, personal retreats to taking myself away to be just with myself. What stories do you tell? Maybe you could ask - What's the intent? and what can I learn? and even more importantly what stories are really me? If you look even harder what have you achieved and what results have you enjoyed by taking the leap? I learnt a lot by thinking and telling you of my lies I had been telling myself and I think you will too if you take a little time out to explore. ;0) Please enjoy and shine brightly.

have you noticed 'to do' lists get longer and longer? The fact that 'to do' lists, in my opinion, don't work anyway and even if you disagree here's a way - A way to make your busy day successful and give you a feeling of achievement. No more days when you feel you have done nothing, we've all experienced those - haven't you? This is not new, I didn't think of it first, but because it's simple it's overlooked. Have a listen, you won't be disappointed if you take this up and you'll learn it in the next 5 minutes - The 5 minute quickie podcast. Please enjoy and shine brightly.
