Creating A New Positive Mind Set And Achieve What You Set Out To Do Before we start I want to tell you there is a process within this episode and if you choose to follow it please ensure nothing needs your attention (see the note below) Having got that out of the way, how would you like to have a more positive outlook, inner confidence or a sense of comfort when tackling the 'STUFF' we have to do in life and more specifically achieve success in the things you want to have happen in your life, whether that be career, relationships or even this personal development thang? Because that's what this process is meant to do and all it takes is your imagination (which is limitless) and an idea of what you want and really want it. I have even taken this process and put it into a hypnosis track for an even deeper dive with your unconscious mind and this will be available where all my other downloadable hypnosis and NLP freebies are kept. I'll let you know when it's uploaded. I am not going to tell you too much more bec

Loneliness – What Is It? Loneliness is reported to be the secret pandemic that no one talks about. Also, lonely people don't talk about it too - They have no one to talk to even if they wanted to. So I wanted to ask for your experiences to add to mine so we can dive deeper and find ways to help those who need it most and make a real difference. So if you are experiencing loneliness this is for you, if you know someone that is experiencing loneliness this is for you and if you never experienced loneliness this is for you. It's only around 5 minutes long and you might just make the difference that makes that difference.

Oh, Dear! What Have You Done? Did you really? Warning: There is a hypnosis process in this episode How far back can you really remember? clearly? Me not so much. How come I can't remember a pig running through our house when I was 2? and I was the one to see it first! The thing is we have done so many things in our lives that to consciously remember them all would I guess be overwhelming and I believe our unconscious mind has a recording of them all. Let's see how much we, together, can remember the things we have done and learned. What wonderful things have you been able to achieve? Relationships made and may be lost, or things created, mended, given, and received. I suggest a paper and pen to write them down so you don't forget one while recalling another. These, I think, are all part of our own personal Heros adventure/journey and the foundation to build on to create a life richly lived where your dreams are surpassed. To get deeper into this I have included a hypnosis process so if you have anything that

Dreams Without Goals Leads To Disappointment  Do They? Do dreams without goals always lead to disappointment? Seems right eh? Obviously dreams without action turn into wishes that drift into the ether and end up as "I wish I'd" and that's such a shame. And here's the thing - doesn't a goal without action lead to disappointment and fade away and back to "I wish I'd"? Come muse with me about what I think is the missing step that means dreams and goals will never lead to disappointment and lead to "I'm so grateful I did ...."

3 Easy Steps To Stop Others Bringing You Down And YES I'll show you them and how to use them In other podcasts, I've said you choose what you feel in response to situations, and I will stick with that. When you know what is happening when say people bring you down it makes it simple to know what to do to stop it and choose your way and your emotion. Would that be useful to not only know what but how as well? And it all revolves around the natural phenomenon of rapport and we know how it works and how to use it to our advantage. The geniuses behind NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) broke it down for us and taught us how we can match, mirror and lead and a few more 'bits' that I won't bore you with. It may seem a bit daunting but believe me, it is simple, which is what this podcast is based around - In Simplicity is Genius. So come with me and let me share my thoughts and more importantly the 'HOW TO'S' (the bits others forget to share because they either don't know or want to keep you baited. Oh! And no you d

How Arrogant or Were They Simply Brilliant? Hear how I changed my mind Well I didn't necessarily change my mind about the person but the message that was different So what am I talking about in this 5-Minute Quickie podcast?

Its Too Hard -I Can't Do It Have you heard that said before? I have heard this before in my own whiney voice and I'm not proud of it. It was a cop-out! What about you? How many excuses do we look for to not have to be a little uncomfortable and swerve any type of 'grind', that inevitable 'grid' that's needed to find our true self and achieve the success we deserve? This personal development lark is simple yet it takes perseverance, persistence, determination, and consistency, and to get where we want to be it takes us out of our comfort zone, I call it familiar zone, which can be uncomfortable and as I say a grind. But the PRIZE is immeasurable. Sometimes all this can lead to overwhelm and that's what I want to help with in this episode so you can look back once you have achieved your goals and shout out "I DID THIS!!!!   I DID THAT!!!!" and you get to look in the mirror and see reflected back the you you were meant to be (I'm loving that saying). One of the essential steps is to keep the feeling of the wish

You Make Me Angry, Sad, Guilty - You Fill In The Blank Well Actually It's All On You Have you ever said or been told "You make me so angry!"  "You make me so sad" "You make me so depressed" I have I'll admit, and even knowing this stuff I can fall back into blaming others or even things - How daft is that? Oh! Sorry, there are even explicit words that I utter and that makes me .................   :O) And the thing is when you say those You make me words it might make you feel a little better about you, yourself, but you are only hiding from the real truth. And that truth is NO ONE, you heard it, read it right, no one can make you feel anything! There's only one person and that person is you and you are deciding to choose the way you feel at any given moment. That's a bummer! Or is it? Let's dive deeper. If I get to choose ultimately I could choose to feel differently and that would mean I am in charge of myself and responsible to how I feel, act/react, be in my world. How good would that be? Come with me and

How Far Have You Traveled Yes, I go along with the metaphor that to get to where you want to go in a car you look out front via the big windscreen and only in the rearview mirror occasionally. It's a great thing to do to keep your goal, your aim in mind. Yet, in this world, our world, yours and mine I also think we should take the time to acknowledge just how far we have come in this Heros Adventure of our personal development. So come with me for 5 minutes or so to muse and celebrate.

Do You Want To Find Out What You're Really Good At It's easier than you think We don't know what we're good at even though we think we do. When you find out there's usually a surprise and a nice feeling to boot! You see the things we have learned to do naturally well, if not excellent, are the things we take for granted or think doesn't everyone do this this well? And that's because it's become an unconscious competence skill that is now your second nature. When you understand or have these behaviors brought to our attention you can begin to see how and where your true passions may lay - Such a beautiful thang! It does take courage but not too much and you can always blame me. But to find out exactly what I am sharing you will just simply have to press play >>>> As you follow what I have to share you can add a note about the Personal Development Unplugged podcast and even this episode: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/325-do-you-want-to-find-out-what-youre-really-good-at Oh Happy Daze!      'O) Shine

Let's Change a Behaviour Easily Why? Because you can - Easily Do you know an old wife? Apparently, they have some really good tales. One of them is it takes at least 30 consecutive days to change a behavior, and if you miss one day (even day 30) you have to begin again. Whoa!!!!! That's why you don't want to listen to old wives' BS. Changing a behavior is hard IF you try to do it consciously or cognitively and very rarely works or stays changed. I will go through ways that would make changing a behavior consciously, and cognitively, a little easier. But still, it takes a lot of effort as with anything consciously or cognitively. Now as you know Hypnosis and NLP work with the unconscious mind where all behaviors reside so I think this is the place to start - it's a no-brainer for me! So come with me and dive into a process that makes changing those unwanted behaviors a thing of the past. All you have to do is know what you want to change, have an idea of how you would like to be, and IMAGINE. Oh! you may want

The Real You Not The New You Because there isn't a new you So many in the personal development genre talk of creating the NEW YOU and quite frankly they can't because there isn't one, a new you that is. Sorry to disappoint you and any money you have wasted trying to do it. The real you is and has always been here - just waiting to be discovered and uncovered with all your limitless potential. This is only a 5-Minute Quickie episode to whet your appetite and to get you to think, wonder and muse before we deep dive into longer episodes.

The Mantra Of Regret We all have regrets, You, me, and everyone else and for me, they stink. Oh! I wish I'd, Oh! If only I'd Oh! You fill in the blank I heard Seth Godin say "You rarely regret doing things" (Yep I know I have things I wish I had not done) and that is generally true when you compare it with the stuff you could have or wanted to do and didn't. But what if we learn from these times in the past I believe we can make the best use of that regret, at least we would be acknowledging the positive intent that sits with the negative emotion. This follows the presupposition that every behavior and emotion has a positive attention at its core - learn from it and the emotion or behavior disappears - BOOM!!!! Let's dive into the beliefs we had back then and how appropriate are they now and what facts were they actually based on. And let's dive into the beliefs we had in the things we loved doing too because they are based on the fact you succeeded. I'll take you through my personal experiences and those of

 Never Regret NOT Doing Anything Again Time for a muse and a little bit of a teaser toward a longer episode in a couple of days' time. What do you regret not doing? What do you regret not carrying on and getting better at? What did you swerve from, even hide away from even though you wanted to do them inside I'd love you to think of those things and make a note of them so we can knock this regret out of the park in the next episode. Let's invite others too to let go of their regrets and share this episode: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-383-never-regret-not-doing-it-again Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.

Never Knock The Simple Things Who Wants A Life Of Complications? Making changes to your life, and to your world does not have to be complicated. In fact, that is one of the reasons I started this podcast to dispel the complicated ways some make things to make them appear so so intelligent and better than any of their competitors. They sell this veil of deception and worry about competition when we should all be together serving each other in a way that assists us all to grow and become who we are meant to be in this world and our life time. OOOps just fell off my soap box   ,O) Inspired by Jim Kwik who I heard saying "Don't let the simple things fool you" this jumped to one of our core thoughts you will hear ne quote from Albert Einstein "IN SIMPLICITY THERE IS GENIUS". This also reminded me of how Tony Robbins loved to get simple analogies for things that were complicated so he got them and could put them into a context he understood. But the thing is HOW do you break down the complicated into simple steps a

Sowing The Seeds of Success Giving them a little water And watching them grow. Yes I know it's all a bit metaphorical but we do want to pick the fruits of success and when is the best time to plant a tree? Is the time ever right to start anything important? What you REALLY want to do. So I want you to think in a different way about the way you think about it. You'll need a pen and paper if you're serious about this. It's all about how we get to sow the seed of this thing with emotion and when you do you will be in motion - motivated. Oh! By the way, it's not going to be what you think it is  Hmmmmm....... This is just the beginning and everything starts at the beginning when you know where it is. And I'll share with you how to find it and a lot more and all in a 5-Minute Quickie podcast.

Changing Your Negative Behaviors - It's Up To You It Really Is and I'll Show You How Let me tell you a story about a previous client of mine, it'll help me explain where I'm going with this. The thing is whilst we can dislike and even hate our behaviors when you look deeper or below the surface we will find there is a positive intention behind them. I really believe in the presupposition of NLP that every, yes every, behavior has a positive intention. But when you experience the behavior as a negative it's hard to accept. Yet it's been borne out with every client I have worked with. I'll even explain through two other clients' experiences that they thought were phobias and shows how sometimes the unconscious mind, with the best of intentions, can make a mistake which also proves this point. When you understand this and begin to see the 'why' you can get your unconscious mind to change that behavior to something that you like and really supports you. And it does this because it gets to keep that positive inten

One Question That Will Change Your Eating Habits and More Do you ever consider how you will feel after doing something you probably know you shouldn't do? Very rarely if you're like me. It's that short-term, quick fix of pleasure like snacking or that extra helping that at the moment is Yummy but half an hour later Oh the guilt! The heavy feeling the lethargy. The weight gain Argh! All so much more than that small moment of pleasure. Yet we never consider all the after-effects, do we? And this can be the same for other areas of our - don't you think? That extra couple of drinks, just one more video reel that one more, well you fill in the blank. Now I am not suggesting this is a magic bullet if we have emotional issues attached to these excessive behaviors but I know it will help there too.
