Personal Development Unplugged

Finding Passions Of Your Past In The Now We all want to live a life of passion, some wish to find their passion and in this 5-minute quickie podcast episode, we can begin a little search to find what's hiding in plain sight. And then we'll follow with a deeper dive into a longer podcast. So this a muse on what I heard in a conversation with Robert Green, not with me but on another podcast, and it reminded me of a lovely memory and what I too have been talking about when we lose sight of our passion. I say lose sight because it's always here hiding in plain sight. Hopefully, this will trigger lovely memories for you too. If you spend a little time, a minute or two, to remember. I'll give you a question to ask your unconscious mind to help this too. Come on, give yourself permission to spend this special time on yourself and then get ready for that longer podcast. Here is a link to share if you would like others to get a sense of their passions: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-374-finding-passions

You Make Me Feel and it's your fault You make me Sooooooooo ANGRY, SAD or If you, like me, have experienced having had that said to you and don't know why or what you did. Or If you, like me, have experienced having said that to someone else Then They were wrong and you were wrong - period! WHAT! Yes, because no one can make anyone feel anything because you CHOOSE the way you feel and that's a bit of a bummer when you get this. The good thing, when you do get it, you get to choose how you feel and how you react and act and be. Heavy stuff but also simple, it's all about taking responsibility and not living in the land of excuses, and reasons because reasons are excuses too. When you take responsibility, some say living at 'Cause' (with an uppercase C), you get to be empowered and that's when we get to choose and live in our reality - on one's elses. Come with me and let me share my thought on this dilemma and of course my ways of overcoming this, there's always a way(s) And when you have please try it out be

This Is A Key To Success Do you do this or don't you do this? Five minutes to muse over, to wonder if you actually do what you think you do or know. Everything starts with a thought and I wonder if you, I, really take time to think? Do you schedule out time to think about what you want, how you want it, when you want it, and what will it be like when you get it? What would happen if you were to be the professional you are and do the work that all starts with a thought?

When Beliefs Hold You Back Imagine being able to find the belief that's holding you back from succeeding and change it - What would that success feel like? And that's where I go in this episode, being able to find, identify and be able to change limiting beliefs. And beliefs can change in a heartbeat, even closely held core beliefs. I know this to be true because I have done it myself and with virtually every client I work with. So if you have a dream for yourself, something you really want to do but it just seems to falter as if something is holding you back then this is for you (Cloughie said modestly) First, we loosen your model of the world around that limiting belief, I'm not good enough, I don't deserve this you know the type and then......................... well I'm not telling you hear - it's a podcast silly! We'll go deep and if you have the will to do whatever it takes, and I know you do, then I believe you'll find this so right and you will be able to change the beliefs that have been holding you

I'm Not Good Enough - What If It's Not True What!? I may be good enough - No Way! Maybe there is a question, when you ask it of yourself you may just change your mind - Your Unconscious Mind. We all have negative beliefs, don't you? I'm not good enough, I'm not worthy, I'm stupid, I'm So from my thinking book, my 'Puzzle book' where I sit and think and muse and in some way connect to my unconscious mind. This is what I  was thinking about these negative beliefs we so easily accept - have you ever asked "Is this true?"  and then ask yourself have I ever been the opposite, when I have been Good Enough - been Worthy - been Ok - been successful? What examples do I have from my past that disprove those beliefs? When you find them then you will know these negative beliefs are untrue ad unfounded. I know we will dive deeper into this but it's a 5-minute Quickie podcast to get you to think over a coffee, a tea, a beer, wine Please share Here's a link for those who don't have an app: https://personaldevelopmentunpl

The Secret Of Thinking We all think we think but do we? A personal admission - I used to think I thought about 'stuff' and I enjoyed thinking that, it made me feel good even a little special - What a dope I was! When I thought about it I didn't really know what deep thinking was - do you? And when I found out I hadn't really been thinking I gave myself a real dressing down - which made me feel worse ( why do we do that to ourselves, I didn't do it on purpose) And the thing is it isn't even a secret, sorry. Is what I have found out in my own personal discovery the only way? Absolutely not, there a better people than me who do it better than me but that doesn't matter and never should it -This is my small step in the adventure of deep work! So come with me and let me share with you what I learned and as usual for me, it had to be simple   :O) I hope you find it both interesting and something you can do better, and when you do let me know. Sharing is good. If after listening you think it would be good to share t

Have You A Song To Sing? Have you a minute to think about what your song is? This episode was born by listening to Lynn Fox on the Mark Devine podcast (you have to listen to that show - it's great!) and what seemed a short throwaway line "Be Your Song In The World" and it made me think that's your mission, your reason for being here. Yes, I talk a lot about finding your true voice and now we can take that one step further with that found confidence. Not just to sing our song, quietly, but to BE our song and follow our ultimate vision whatever that may be for you. So how do you learn your song to be able to be your song? Maybe start with a little hum, a little hum on the inside so we can develop it into our song to let it come out on the outside. Come with me as I develop this metaphor that I hope will want you to muse deeper and take steps to find your song and allow us to hear it. This is a 5-minute quickie, straight into the microphone. I hope you enjoy it and want to share it with your friends so we can al

Hypnosis Frustration to Calm From Agh!!!! to Ooooo! I thought it would be nice for a change to have just a hypnosis track that is simple in its process of taking us from that feeling of being frustrated to just a sense of I'm ok, I'm calm. Why nothing fancy? Well it may not be a fancy, all bells ringing process (that no one needs unless you're an ego-lead hypnotist) but it is important to move away from frustration, which if st in too long just gets worse and leads to Anger and all the fall out that it brings, and move towards a neutral feeling where you can deal with things more appropriately and access better resources. Please enjoy, with my compliments, and make this transition a habit. I'll also be putting a copy up with the 55+ other FREE Hypnosis and NLP processes so you can find them easily and download them.

Skill stacking THE process PART 3 Here's where we put it all together Creating what we want now and in the future Yup! We've gone through the theory, we've found those wonderful qualities of ours and created a powerful general anchor that we can fire off at will. And Now We're putting it all together so you can create a specific anchor of your chosen resources such as confidence, awareness, and curiosity, you fill in the blank and use it to put you into your desired state for success. Tailored to your specific requirement and context. Then Use that to ensure it works for you in any future event. How There are two separate processes included in this one podcast episode and I'll guide you through them both. I've made it to be in easy simple steps that just work. Because this is all specific context driven I have decided to extract the processes and will be uploading them to join the other 55 or so FREE NLP and Hypnosis processes so you can go straight there and use these as many times as you want. So if you hav

Skill stacking To Success part 2 And a process to begin our skill sharing The skill sharing I'm talking about here is the skills you have, in different contexts, that you want. So we'll borrow them from one context and use them where you want them. Sounds difficult - not here where we break down the difficult to easy, manageable steps that I guide you through. Firstly We'll dive into what you need by what you're experiencing and don't want, looking a little into core issues and what would serve you better and be more comfortable. Then We'll need to find a few qualities of yours first to begin to get the understanding that you're so much more than you think you are right now and when I say you have all the skills you need right now you'll begin to agree with me. So it would be worthwhile having a pen and paper handy. And Then We'll also get to be comfortable with anchoring, an NLP term, to access those feelings that you experienced before and can fire off at will. We'll start with an awesome general anchor to

Skill Stacking and Sharing (with yourself) If you know how you want to feel then you have already Felt it that is Oh My! Inspired by the last episode and the process of transferring of skills, or should we say here Trance-Ferring, it got me thinking about how can we do this easily. And in NLP and Hypnosis, we have been doing this for years. You see the pictures you make in your mind are linked to your feelings and linked to your physiology and all come to produce a behavior. It's part of NLP's communication model, that together with anchoring (stimulus and response) we have the perfect recipe. But before we get there we have to know what we want and have a wee look at where we have experienced it before, in our past. I got into this deep dive it exploded into more than just one episode. I'll build for your simple steps so that when we come to the process you will have everything at your fingertips to excel. And then you will be able to use the process as many times as you like even though your Unconscious min

Peak Performance with Alan Stein Jr Using Basic fundamentals and transfer of skills I get asked by lots of 'wanterbe's' to come on to the Personal Development Unplugged podcast but very rarely do they walk the walk. Alan Stein Jr not only talks the talk but truly walks the walk and I am so pleased he reached out. You will hear we have similar philosophies on the subject of making you the best you and then making that even better it's just another perspective, seen through a different window so to speak. There is so much packed into this short space in time so get your notebooks at the ready because there's so much to learn and you will see in the podcasts to come it's inspired me to look deeper into the processes of transferring of skills from one context to another and how easy we can make it. If you want o share this episode please, please do. If your friends haven't a podcast app get them one or give them this link: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/300-peak-performance-with-alan-stein-jr And pleas

The Best Re-Frame By Far And when you use it yourself you'll think so too! We often get into a tizzy, get anxious even fearful when we say to ourselves 'What If?' and make up the most negative pictures, movies in our heads of everything going oh so wrong.

If You Don't Do This You're Selfish And who wants to be branded selfish The problem is as I experience it with my clients, those that want to change, let go of anxiety, and fears, and regain their confidence and self-esteem all seem to think they are being selfish working and spending time and money on themselves. In fact, spending time and money working on yourself to the real you is in fact the MOST UNSELFISH thing you can do! "How do you come to that conclusion Cloughie?" I hear you shout. Well, firstly because I say so! And secondly, let me tell you why I am right, 100% right. Well not here of course because it wouldn't be a podcast it would be a blog post and we ain't no blog post.  :O) So if you want to know why I am so right and you, by being here and working on your own personal development adventure, your own personal hero's journey you will just have to press play >>>> And to help others in this dilemma please share this episode.

Did You Do Your Best Today? Did you really?  In everything you did? If you're like me then the real answer is no. Yes, I know what you're thinking 'What you Cloughie? Even you?'  :O) If you can honestly answer yes then you have to come on the podcast and tell us how. But having said all that we do want to do our best, don't we? And I have a plan, some ideas, and some HOW TOO's If you have listened to the shorter Five-Minute Quickie episode FMQ 369 Not Doing Your Best - Why Is That? I hope I have whetted your appetite to learn more and obviously succeed more often. I say more often as if you are like me, we are all work in progress and cal always get better!

When Did You Decide Not To Show Up? and what would it be like if you did? You may think the first few minutes of this podcast episode is a little harsh and pointed and makes you feel a little uncomfortable. And you would be right if you do, but you know I would only do that if it's in context and leads to better things and it does. When we have the courage to show up, show up as our real self the world changes - for the better! It's like going through that imagined barrier of our comfort zone only to find 'More Better' on the other side and to realize it was us who put that barrier in the first place. There is only one You! There has never been a You before There will never be a You in the future So you have to show the world YOU!!!! You owe it to yourself and the little ole planet Earth  'O) Come with me and explore this and find ways that You would like to use to be that unique You and be seen. I hope you find this interesting and the thing you need to step through the made up invisible barrier we create fo

Why Didn't That Process Work! Are you sure? Maybe we need to look deeper Have you ever tried a process that you have read or listened to a hypnosis track and said "Well That Didn't Work" I think we all have, yes that includes me and I'm a hypnotist and hypnotherapist ( and a pretty good one at that). You see I know the processes I use or have helped develop do work - in fact, they work great - amazingly and magically so! So this got me thinking the other day and here's the result. What I learned was, yes they do, work that is, and there are ways in which we can use the processes or those hypnosis tracks that will get the results you intend. And it primarily starts with what you intend, your intention because I find we don't often really and honestly set our intention or put ourselves in the best state and that could be the key. Anyway, no time to sit here and just read this stuff it's an auditory experience so go get listening and start doing the things you learn. And when you have done all that please share
