Life Balance Doesn't Exist It's not a Thing and you don't want it Embracing Harmony Over Balance In this longer episode, we dive deep into the myth of life balance and why striving for it might be holding you back. Paul Clough passionately argues that life shouldn't be a flat line of balance but a harmonious flow of ups and downs, much like a jazz band. This episode is a wake-up call to embrace the dynamic nature of life, leaning in and out as needed to create a truly fulfilling existence. We'll explore: &nbsp;  Why the concept of life balance is flawed and often leads to a mundane existence.   The importance of setting intentions and understanding your core values.   How to lean into different aspects of your life harmoniously, just like the members of a jazz band.  &nbsp; You'll learn: &nbsp;  How to identify and resolve conflicts between your values to achieve a harmonious life.   Practical steps to lean in and out of different life areas without losing sight of what's important.   Why communication and setting clear intentions are key to living a fulfilling life.  &nbsp; By the end of this episode, you'll be inspired to rethink the way you approach life, focusing on harmony rather than balance.

#413 Life Balance Doesn't Exist

One Life No Excuses You Choose No Excuses, Just Choices Hey, my unplugged friends! Welcome back to the *Personal Development Unplugged* podcast. I’m Paul, and today we’re getting right into the nitty-gritty of life. No fluff, no excuses, just real, raw choices. Because here’s the deal—you’ve only got *one* life, so let’s stop blaming, stop explaining, and start owning it. Let me start with a little story, a personal one. It’s all about a Christmas card… yeah, a Christmas card. Sounds innocent enough, right? But it taught me something huge about responsibility. You ever done something and then thought, "What was I thinking?" or "Why did I do that?" Well, this is one of those moments. So, let’s break it down: ### First, why do we need to take responsibility? It’s simple—because when you own your choices, you get to shape your life. Every action you take, every decision, has consequences, good or bad. But here’s the magic—when you acknowledge them, you also get the power to learn, to grow, and to make better choices next time. ### Then, how do we actually do it? I’m sharing practical strategies for reflecting on past actions—whether they were brilliant or a complete mess—and extracting the golden lessons from them. That’s how you build a richer life. Not by avoiding mistakes, but by learning from them. ### And here’s a big one: I’ve got five keys to success, and one of the biggest is acting *as if* you’ve already achieved your goals. When you start to live as the person you want to become, your brain and body align. Your decisions start matching the future you’re aiming for. This isn’t about being perfect, it’s about making choices with intention. It’s about setting expectations for yourself and your life. And, my friends, it’s about choosing to take responsibility—because when you do, you take control. So, are you ready to stop making excuses and start flying? That’s what this episode is all about. It’s about embracing your one and only life, and making it yours. No one else is going to do it for you. Take a listen, absorb it, and most importantly, act on it. You’ve got the power, and it’s all within your choices. As always, please share, and let’s keep spreading the word—because the more we all take responsibility, the higher we can all soar.  That’s it for now—let’s unplug from excuses and plug into *you*. See you soon!

#414 One Life No Excuses You Choose

🎧 Activating Your Kindness Sensor: A Simple Metaphor to Transform Your World 🎧 In this short but powerful FMQ episode, I’m diving into something so simple yet profound—a metaphor that might just change the way you see and experience the world. Imagine this: You have a sensor inside you, right in your heart, and it’s tuned in to pick up on every opportunity for kindness. What if this sensor was always on, guiding you to act with kindness or spot it in others instantly? We’re going to explore how activating your kindness sensor can ripple out to create real, meaningful change. Not just for you, but for those around you too. Here’s what we’ll cover:  How a single act of kindness can shift your mood, energy, and the lives of others. The idea of “paying it forward” and why kindness, like a ripple, spreads far beyond the initial act. The surprising power of acknowledging kindness in others—sometimes that’s all it takes to brighten someone’s day.  What you’ll learn:  How to switch on that kindness sensor and start noticing those small but life-changing moments. The simple habit of one act of kindness a day and how it can transform your world. The energy shift that happens when you lead with kindness, and how people begin to see you differently.  By the end of this episode, you’ll be equipped and inspired to make kindness a daily part of your life—because when you do, trust me, it will change everything. Ready to activate your kindness sensor? Let’s get started.

FMQ 467 Let's Turn On Our Sensor

My Real Life Metaphor To See The World Clearly Seeing the World More Clearly: A Journey of Self-Investment Hey, welcome! Let’s talk about clarity—what does it really mean to see the world clearly? And not just in the visual sense, but through the lens of your own personal development. In this episode, I (Paul Clough) share a personal story that might just give you that ‘aha’ moment—a story that acts as a mirror for your own journey. Let’s get into how investing in yourself can lead to clearer vision and, ultimately, a more fulfilling life. Here’s the thing: personal growth isn’t selfish. It’s not about being self-centered; it’s about being self-aware. It’s about becoming the best version of you—not just for you, but for the people around you. Imagine this: when you see the world more clearly, you’re able to show up as your true self—the real you—and that’s a gift to everyone. So, what are we diving into today?  Self-investment. Yep, that can sound scary. We often avoid it because, let’s be real, the idea of change and improvement freaks us out. But that’s exactly why it’s so important! Getting over the fear of becoming your best self is like cleaning foggy glasses—you suddenly start to see the world differently, and things just… click. The ripple effect. Working on yourself isn’t just about you. It’s the most generous thing you can do for the world. When you grow, you naturally inspire others to grow too. It’s contagious. Kindness as a power tool. Think of kindness as your superpower—not just being kind to others, but being kind to yourself. When you live with kindness and push yourself toward your full potential, life takes on a whole new meaning.  What are you going to learn?  How to recognize and create real, dynamic changes in your life. It’s about small shifts that lead to massive transformations. The importance of regular self-reflection. It’s not enough to grow once and call it a day—this is an ongoing journey, and guess what? You can tweak, adjust, and improve along the way. Acting “as if.” Want to be more confident, more compassionate, more successful? Start acting as if you already are. You’ll be amazed at how quickly this simple mindset shift can turn into reality.   This episode is about loving yourself, living kindly, and embracing continuous growth. You might just find that as you invest in yourself, the world becomes a brighter, clearer place, not just for you, but for everyone in your life. So, ready to see the world more clearly? Let’s make that happen! Shine brightly, Paul Clough P.S.

FMQ 468 The Secret To Speeding Up

How To Be Heard When No-one's Listening Listen to Be Heard: Transforming Conversations &amp; Connections Hey, do you ever feel like you're just *not being heard*? It’s that feeling that no matter how much you try to express yourself, it just doesn’t seem to land. It’s something we all face, because, deep down, we all crave that feeling of being listened to and understood. But here’s the secret: it’s not really about how loudly we speak; it’s about how deeply we listen—starting with listening to ourselves. In today’s episode, we’re peeling back the layers on the art of communication and discovering how you can finally be heard by others in a way that resonates. I’ll be sharing some personal insights and real-life moments that taught me just how powerful true listening can be. And we’ll be looking at some of the biggest hurdles that get in our way—like that pesky inner voice that tells us we’re not worth it, or that whispers doubt when we try to connect. But here’s the thing: *we can change that.* Here’s what we’ll be diving into today: 1. **The Real Barrier to Being Heard: Your Own Inner Voice.** Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to being heard isn’t the person in front of us but the voice in our own head. I’ll walk you through some of the ways I’ve learned to quiet this inner chatter, and how you can start asking yourself better questions to shift your perspective. 2. **The Power of Questions in Communication.** Have you ever thought about how you phrase the questions in your mind? Not just questions to others, but the ones you ask yourself. We’ll explore how asking the right questions can instantly improve how you connect with people, making them more receptive and engaged in the conversation . 3. **How Listening Is the Key to Being Heard.** Yep, you heard it right! The art of listening can make others listen to you, too. When you practice becoming an attentive listener, it opens the door for more meaningful exchanges—and in a way, they can’t help but want to listen to you in return. **What You’ll Walk Away With:** - **Practical Steps for Better Communication.** I’ll give you the tools to ask yourself the right questions, so you can engage others without the strain of feeling unheard. - **The Role of Self-Reflection and Visualization.** By pausing to reflect on what you need out of a conversation and envisioning that outcome, you’ll start noticing your words resonate more. - **How Vulnerability and Genuine Curiosity Create Stronger Connections.** It’s amazing how, when you show a real interest in others, those walls between you start to fall, building the foundation for truly rich relationships. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a toolkit to not only be heard but to hear others in a way that’s deeply enriching. It’s all about stepping out of your own way, letting go of those old barriers, and embracing a fresh, straightforward approach to communication. Ready to transform the way you connect with others?

FMQ 470 Who'll Remember You

Trying to leave this little old world and the people I meet in a better place then when I first met them.

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.
The more formal bit
