A podcast for those wanting personal development but want it made simple and easy to understand and more importantly use, take action and make a difference to your life and the world you live in.

If you want to change the way you feel and the way you act and react. If you have negative emotions, behaviours, that you want to lose forever and create something special in your life then I think you will like what you hear.

This genre of self-improvement, self-development and mastery of your mind has, I believe, been made over complicated and secretive and here I am de-constructing the processes into their simple forms that we can all understand and easily use. There’s no interviews just little ol’ me ;0)

Who am I and what do I do?………Paul Clough.

I now love helping making changes in people and guiding them to create the life they really want.

A personal look at me:

The above sentence was not always the case and being the best in the financial realms of the building industry was my aim and getting there by any means. I now know this is, and was, the worst way ~ even if I did make director of one of the largest building companies in Cambridge by the age of 30.

One of the major realisations came on my first ever training in hypnosis. I found that it’s not a win lose world and that a win win is only a low basis to live.

Being true to your beliefs and coming from a place of integrity where service is paramount. This understanding together with lots of NLP skills helped create my last partnership in the building industry grow from a turnover of £800k to £16m in less than twelve years and that can only be done with giving more than expected.

Another shaping of me came from two traumatic events in my life that happened within six months of each other which created a number of major changes in me and by beliefs in what is possible. I have written about my experience and how I dealt with it but more importantly it really showed me my love for my three boys and theirs for me and resulted in the step up to become a trainer of NLP (which I never intended) and my close and exciting work with two of my sons. In supporting Joseph and help create change in people in our training’s and his wonderful life changing ‘Be your potential weekend’ and with Luke the continuing development of Cambridge Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis processes. My relationship with my third son Daniel just keeps getting better and better too.

Not knowing how good I had become in change work in the beginning I generally studied, practiced and saw clients then things started to happen when I started to work following just my instincts. Two clients come to mind both in effect dying from the effects of what was happening to them and the way they felt and within one and two sessions respectively not only won the will to live they changed virtually in front of my eyes and being apart of that process was and is the best feeling alive.

The above are just three of many brilliant learnings I have had in my life.

    #356 Never Have To Regret Again

    #356 Never Have To Regret Again

    Never Have To Regret Again What would that be like? In this episode, I explore the intention of regret and how to let the emotion go.
    Regret, like all negative emotions, has a reason to keep prodding us and whilst it starts way back it just continues to intensify and add limiting beliefs that can generalize into other areas of our life.
    Our unconscious mind always does everything for a reason, we call it positive intention and until we understand it it keeps prodding away.
    So in this episode, we'll explore ways to understand and see how we would want to have acted in the past and install that into our future so we don't keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
    You may need a pen and paper to really get this going and when you do REGRET Be Gone!
    Please share what resonates with you or you will only feel regret if you don't   :O)

    FMQ 409 This Is Mine and You Can't Have It

    This Is Mine and You Can't Have It But what if it was mine and I gave it to you and I still had it too?
    This 5-minute quickie is all about sharing and what happens when we do.
    So often people become so protected with what they know but forget where they got it from in the first place.
    And I want to give you an example of why it's good to share what you know
    Talking of sharing - Why not this episode:

    #355 Emotional Pain - Hogwash

    #355 Emotional Pain - Hogwash

    Emotional Pain - Hogwash There's only one real pain and that's physical pain - Stub your toe and you will experience REAL pain  :O)
    Emotional pain doesn't exist - Whoa Cloughie! I hear you think -WHAT!!!!! But I feel the pain of grief, anxiety, fear, and well you fill in the blank.
    You have to come with me on this to explore the what and the why I'm saying this because once you get it you get to control it, learn from it, and that not emotional pain disappears.
    You see it's very rare that emotional pain is experienced in the now as the thing that's causing you to feel it either happened in the past, and the past has gone because it doesn't exist, or from the future which hasn't happened because it doesn't exist either. Common sense really. Yet you think you feel it all the same.
    Please come with me to hear what I have to share and realize you have, or can learn to have both control and understanding of this fictitious pain. And once you get, or more importantly your unconscious mind gets the learning from the cause and the conflict of intention and the emotion it has to disappear.
    Please share what you learn and this podcast, it really makes a difference:

    #354 How To Feel Awesome (or Just Bloomin' Comfortable) Every Day

    #354 How To Feel Awesome (or Just Bloomin' Comfortable) Every Day

    How To Feel Awesome (or Just Bloomin' Comfortable) Every Day Why? Because you can! You will remember the quote "You get what you think about most of the time - Whether you want it or not"
    We all know that if you wake up in a good mood things just go well and if you wake up in a down mood the day tends to go badly. We've all seen others who are negative more often than not things just tend to go wrong for them. And there are loads of other examples of similar negative outlooks.
    Can you think about yourself experiencing little bits of negativity and how that affects us, our day, and the people around us? Hmmm not so good and we miss good things which are there but the vale of negativity he them from our view.
    We'll start with the pain of the above and then go to pleasure when we change it.
    In this episode, we'll go through ways in which we can change and focus and experience more of the good stuff.
    I even include a process to flood ourselves, you, with more pleasure than you stand and have it spread into your day. You'll need to think of 3 times in the past, specific times when you felt Awesome and then......... Well, you'll just have to listen and learn.
    This is a great process to share and also remember you can do this for other emotions and enhance your career or relationships there is no end to what you can do with this process.
    Please share the episode to all your friends and let then change the way they feel:
