No Regrets - Just Do It -Here's How

Have you ever caught yourself holding back, waiting for the "perfect" moment, and later felt that sting of regret? The truth is, regret weighs far more heavily than failure ever could. Failure teaches you something. Regret leaves you stuck, wondering "what if?"

In this longer episode of Personal Development Unplugged, I take you deep into how to break free from hesitation, silence that self-doubt, and finally step forward with courage. This isn't about recklessness — it's about learning how to live boldly, make choices you're proud of, and stop letting fear dictate your life.

You'll discover:

• Why regret is heavier than failure (and how to free yourself from it)

• Simple mindset shifts to move from hesitation to momentum

• The one question that reframes fear and unlocks action

• A step-by-step hypnosis process to help you just do it — so you don't just think about change, you actually experience it

This is more than a conversation — it's an opportunity to work with your unconscious mind, shift your patterns, and take meaningful action today.

If you've ever said "I wish I had…" then this episode is for you.

So welcome back. Longer podcast, yeah? With me, Paul.

 

And no regrets. No regrets. Have you had regrets? I think we've all had regrets about not doing things.

 

Have you had this though? When you have this belief, I believe I'm not good enough. I don't belong here. I'm bloody stupid.

 

What else? Because I think we've all had those negative beliefs, or sometimes we call them limiting beliefs because they do bloody limit us, don't they? What other limiting, negative beliefs do you have? And if you want to really think about it, I know you do, think of things that you've wanted to do but you swerved them. You didn't take that step, you backed away. Think of one of those.

 

Don't do them all at once because you'll be overwhelmed. But just think of one thing that you wanted to do and you didn't do it. You swerved it, you made an excuse.

 

What did that feel like? And to get to that feeling, you know, remember that time just as you were making that decision. You were choosing not to do something. And see yourself there.

 

And just notice the voice in your head. What were you saying to yourself? You know, was it things like, ah, you're never going to make it. I shouldn't be here.

 

I don't belong. And that old chestnut, because I'm not, well, I'm just not good enough. Well, there's that other one I've heard a lot now.

 

And I think of myself sometimes. No, I'm too stupid. Can't do it.

 

Shouldn't be here. What did it feel like? When you hear those words inside, what does it feel like? Yeah, because it does, doesn't it? It doesn't feel good at all. When we think about it now.

 

And what we try to do, I guess, I know I'm talking about me, but I guess. We can try to justify it, can't we? Because, you know, who am I? Who am I to do this bloody thing? You know, who do you think you are? Go on, Cloughie, who do you think you are? You won't be good enough. You certainly don't belong there.

 

People will look down at you, you know, and you're going to look and feel stupid. And then you're going to get that feeling of failure and all that stuff. I'm going through one of mine now.

 

And we justify it, that it's the right decision. Who are you feeling? Feeling? Fooling. Fooling.

 

Who are you fooling? You can make all those justifications to other people, and it might seem right, but you don't fool you. I didn't fool me. I didn't fool me.

 

I keep getting that wrong. I didn't fool me at all. You see, it's still there.

 

See, I was going to go on a workshop, and it was a workshop in Dublin. I mean, I live in the UK, right down in the south of England. And this was last year.

 

And I really wanted to do this workshop. But I made every excuse under the sun to justify why I was going to swerve it. Oh, it's so far away.

 

So far away. You know, you don't know anyone there,
