I am A Screw-Up! Even when life shows you differently This episode follows a little from episode #274 You Decided to suffer and was inspired by an email I received. And a unique hypnosis experience - you have been warned- in a nce way You see it doesn't matter what people say how good you are or the great achievements you have made in your life if you feel a screw-up, stupid, I don't belong here, they'll find me out.

Therapy Is Magic and Therapists Are Magicians Myth or Myth I know when I first learned Hypnosis and NLP I did think it was like magic and to see someone transform in front of your eyes is magical and all that magic must mean there are magicians  Right? Maybe not. Maybe there is no magic wand, no piff paff puff and you're done :O) Let's look at the myth and see the reality and where the magic lies (no pun intended) and when you do you may just see it's right for you, that's if you really want the (not magic but) magical result. Please listen well and share what you hear.

An Experiment In Listening - Really Listening And when you do you will never know how far the ripples will go This is not an episode of simply 'let's actively listen'.You have probably heard it all before but I heard the fabulous Tara Bach tell a story that caught my attention. I reached out and have permission to share it with you. But that was only the start of my thoughts about listening and what to listen to and how the noise around can affect us and infect us. And then....... I got a little deeper into who we don't listen to and when we do the world, our world changes. So come with me on this deep dive, pin back those ears and listen - really listen. And then, if you would share this with others so may learn the art of listening and who to.

Feeling Unsafe? - A Question Some are feeling unsafe in this world coming out of covid, countries at war, and other things happening. Some feel unsafe because of what people say wanting a 'safe' place created for themselves. So what's my question? Well, if you find yourself in either of the two categories above I'd like to know what that unsafe feeling is for you, what it stops you from doing, and how else it affects you. Why do I ask it? Well,' I have my own opinions of the cause and effects and how these can be alleviated and to make my thoughts complete your input would help me get a richer picture or story to enable me to help far more specifically. So if you are affected and before I record my thoughts and solutions would you let me know your experiences by emailing me feedback@personaldevelpmentunplugged.com And please share this episode with others so they may do likewise - Here's the  link: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-361-feeling-unsafe-a-question/ Thank you Shine brightly Paul Pleas

#279 Making Change Easy Because it is all you have to do is expect it The what, that makes change harder than it should be is, generally, when we try to change consciously. Talking about it and thinking about it, generally, reinforces the problem/issue because if just consciously talking and thinking worked you would have changed already. "So how is it easy then Cloughie" I hear you say. Then I'll explain it as best I can just as I would to every one of my clients and when both you and your unconscious mind get it that's when you set up change to be easy and you expect it. But I won't explain it here BECAUSE it's a PODCAST!   :O) My advice of how to listen to this episode (and all the others) is to set your intention - "I Intend To Learn and Find A Way" and then make sure you do what you learn and not just passively listen. Maybe follow along with a pen and paper which may help the way to change that more deeper. Whatever way you choose will be the best for you it's the intention that is the most important pa

The Formula To JOY Let's get soppy - Nooooooo! We, well I know I do, all want more JOY in our lives even if you may think I've gone a little soft but admit it - Wouldn't life be so much more better with more joy, a bit more peace, and a lot more love in it. I want you to be an alchemist changing lead into gold, a golden life filled with joy, and being successful in every area of your life. I want to share with you a process my son, Joseph, and I have taken and developed into something special. We'll experience it together so buckle up and put some time aside to explore what life will be, is like, when you have joy, bliss, and love in your life - so to get the most from this make sure you have nothing needing your attention and dive in with me. Yes, I'll be sharing the actual process in this podcast episode. What would it be like instead of working towards Joy, Bliss, and love and a goal but having those emotions before starting and having them all through every step of the way? What about spending special tim

The Key to Getting Whatever You Want And you have the lock that it fits I apologize for the corny sub-heading, originally the title was the recipe to get whatever you want but this isn't a cooking podcast yet this is a recipe that is the key to the strategy to get whatever you want in life. Where did I find this key, this golden nugget, well in my journaling and my puzzle book. No not a book of puzzles but a place I work on my puzzled life and usually it comes out here in an episode. So what is the key, well I won't be telling all here as it's audio and you have to press play to find out but I will tell you that it revolves around three P's and is surrounded by I and G. So having made that abundantly clear :O) We have been diving into goals, dreams etc in recent episodes and I guess somewhere in my unconscious mind a thought, a seed, has been stirred and found it's way to the surface here. What came was so simple and we do love simple processes that just work and this does. To make sure I was understanding it

I'm canceled What about you? Should I be canceled? should I cancel myself? Should you cancel yourself too? It's a dilemma of (stupid) proportions. If I wasn't offended by myself way back then should I, can I really and properly be offended now because back then was back then, and now is a different now? If we cancel the past how do we learn from it? Just a short and different FMQ made me think and maybe you will too.

Weird and Unique and let's keep it that way If you listen to this podcast you have to be a little weird and you are most certainly unique Oh! That's a compliment by the way. If you take a minute to think about you, which we generally don't, is there anyone quite like you? Does anyone have the same identical experiences you have ever had or processes them just like you? and therefore the exact same values and beliefs. I could go on and the answer will always be a resounding and loud NO. So why don't we celebrate our weirdness and uniqueness instead of following the herd of blending boringly in  :O) Well, that's where we go in this episode so come with me and let's muse on why we don't and how we can. When we do, passion is sure to follow.

You Decided to Suffer Anxiety, Guilt, Anger, OCD or .................. fill in the blank That's harsh you may politely think, No I bloody didn't might be your real reply. But please stay with me because when you learn what I have to share all will make sense and might even help you let those negative things go. I say might because there may be the odd exception but at worst it'll really help. And I'm certainly not making light of what you feel and understanding how this was an unconscious decision, you didn't consciously wake up one day to feel or do this, then where better to address the solution and decide to stop but at the unconscious level. Sounds complicated? I hope not and I'll do my best with my simple brain to share with my thoughts, clients experiences, and even more importantly the HOW TO's so you can make the changes you want in your life and not be tied down by the negative emotions and behaviors that seem so uncontrollable. So if you do experience: Anxiety Guilt Grief Lack of Confidence Low Sel

Success - Rogan and the Knees Over Toes Guy In a way, we follow on from the last FMQ How to be an overnight success and add two ingredients that are needed to become that fictitious overnight success. Ben Patrick (what a nice guy) the knees over toes guy and Joe Rogan (Yup I'm still in his corner because despite the personal attacks he remains a good guy) we discussing how Ben made his business to what it is now serving people with injured knees. They were both honest to share and I wanted to share this too with you my friend. It wasn't about being born with that special skill or being from a privileged place it was about using something else or something(s) else - plural. It also helps to have the supporting set of beliefs that you can do it and those types of supporting beliefs can happen in a heartbeat. It's only a short episode and hopefully gets you to invest in you - keep listening and I'll share through the longer podcast episodes as many ways that 'simply' just work. Please share this episode - here's

How To Step Away From Fear and Anxiety And More Importantly To Step Into What You Want To Be I don't care who you are (I do really) but everyone has felt or suffered from fear or anxiety at some point in their life and some of us feel them both now. So.................. That's why this episode, to share a way to enable you to step away from them and it's important to understand that both fear and anxiety are trying to do something for you positively. When we get to understand this we, your conscious and unconscious minds, will get the conflict. The conflict of what your unconscious mind is trying to do for you and what it's actually achieving and when we learn that, things start to change in a way that pleases us. This sounds complicated but if I get it then it obviously isn't    :O) So if you want to step away from fear and anxiety and all that these entail please simply press play because It's an audio podcast and that means I won't be putting it all in text, that would just be silly.

The Antidote-Making goals happen PART 2 Now we get into the HOW TO Now we get to learn the processes of making this all happen and in every area of your life and the wonderful thing is as you work on one area the other areas of your life change too! I know it's tempting if you haven't listened to Part 1, to jump in here - Please don't. The understanding that you will get in part 1 is the foundation of making the second part just flow. And just so you know none of this is complicated or hard to do, the only requirement is that you actually do and follow the process. Sounds obvious and common sense but we've all had the experience of knowing something but not getting the result because we sat on our arses and didn't take the necessary ACTION. Knowledge without action is nothing. Let me know how you get on and how quickly your achievements happen. Please share this episode and the podcast in general, here's the link for this episode: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/272-the-antidote-making-goals-happen-
